CMOS temperature sensors have emerged as an indispensable technology for thermal monitoring in modern integrated circuits. Leveraging complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor technology, these sensors ...

Designers face many chal lenges when placing thermal-sensing components in embedded systems. The first comes in choosing the temperature sensor. It is often not obvious whether a thermistor, resistive ...

Almost all processes, measurements, and control systems vary as a function of temperature. Today's engineers are required to design systems to measure temperature in order to accurately control other ...

On what seems like almost a daily basis, a news flash talks about some electronic product overheating, causing potentially catastrophic problems. While an overly hot product can, of course, cause ...

Probably the most electronically sensed analog quantity is temperature. An essential factor in most environments and critical in many, temperature is widely sensed in industrial, automotive, building ...

Wearable devices are often exposed to environmental variables that can significantly impact temperature readings. A smartwatch sits on the wrist, where ambient air temperature, sunlight, and even wind ...

In the first installment of this series, "Calculating a practical hotspot safety margin", we discussed how two-parameter thermal models assume that the entire motor, including windings, exhibits one ...
