Results My first conclusion is that the simplest method of all, a diode and a 10 kΩ resistor fed into an ADC, is sufficient for non-precise work across any reasonable temperature range.

This fire sensor circuit exploits the temperature sensing property of an ordinary signal diode IN 34 to detect heat from fire. At the moment it senses heat, a loud alarm simulating that of Fire ...

The slope of the dependence is related to the bias current value, and can be positive, negative or zero. Hence, the diode-connected transistor can be used as a controllable temperature sensor. This ...

Lab 1 - Diode Characterization and Differential Temperature Sensor This lab focused on measuring the saturation current of a 1N4148 diode and designing a temperature sensor using the diode’s ...

As far as the temperature sensor is concerned, the choice isn’t critical. So, you can select from a wide range of sensors. With some modifications, you can even use a diode.

1. A typical thermistor. Now the test engineer comes along and wants to measure temperature. Let’s say the engineer is using a thermistor (Fig. 1).If you look carefully at this thermistor, you ...

A method for on-chip temperature characterization of GaN MMICs is presented in this work. The diode is driven with a square wave of current, and the output is measured as the voltage across the ...
