Last month, we kicked this series off by showing you how to save some money by diagnosing a bad MAP sensor rather than just chucking cash at new parts that may or may not fix a specific problem. This ...

Sensors are increasingly finding use in embedded systems. Although industrial products have long used them for manufacturing-control systems, consumer devices are now starting to employ them, as well.

Understanding how oxygen sensors work will help you diagnose problems without having to rely completely on a repair shop. Oxygen sensors act as low-voltage producers, such as how a microphone uses ...

Modern car engine control systems rely on input from several sensors to regulate the engine’s performance as well as its emissions and other vital functions. When these sensors fail to provide ...

Accurate signal conditioning and high-resolution measurements are no longer limited to industrial or instrumentation applications. Designers of portable consumer- electronic equipment also need to ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Modern cars are designed to be more efficient and eco-friendly than ever. Automakers build vehicles with a wealth of advanced features to not ...

Renesas’ ZSSC3240, announced earlier today, is a sensor signal conditioning chip that provides amplification and 24bit digitisation for bridge and half-bridge resistive sensors, followed by 26bit ...

Fürstenfeldbruck, Germany: The first sensor signal-path design tool that enables engineers to move from concept to simulation to prototyping of common sensor solutions, claims developer National ...

ST has created a dual precision op-amp for automotive sensor signal conditioning, with 20µV input offset voltage and 100nV/°C drift, and operation over 4 to 36V and -40 to 125°C. Input common mode ...
