An IC such as this one transforms the diode junction, used as a low-cost but challenging temperature sensor, which needs a significant level of analog and digital I/O support. Instead, the diode is ...

I’ve been using diodes as temperature sensors in three projects over the last year: one is a coffee roaster that brings the beans up to 220 °C in hot air, another is a reflow hotplate that tops ...

Measuring temperature Because die temperature is a critical parameter, some devices incorporate a means to allow you to measure it—normally, a diode or a diode-connected transistor near the hot spot ...

For reduced power, the sensor can be put into sleep mode, reducing consumption to 10 µA. In a MSOP-8 package, price is $1.75 each/1,000. TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INC., Dallas, TX. (800) 477-8924.

This paper presents the development of an intelligent high temperature sensor to be used in hostile environment critical industrial applications. The temperature sensing element is a Schottky diode ...

The remote temperature sensor diode-connected transistors are typically low-cost, NPN or PNP-type transistors or diodes that are an integral part of microcontrollers, microprocessors, or ...

The transconductance characteristics of a MOS transistor realized in a submicron technology have the zero-temperature coefficient (ZTC) bias point. The gate-source voltage of such transistor is ...

Microchip has announced 10 automotive-grade multi-channel temperature monitoring ICs that use external diodes, transistors or substrate diodes (MCU or other die) as sensors. Called the MCP998x family, ...
