Two papers at the International Solid-state Circuits Conference tackled ultra-low power on-chip temperature sensing, one using an npn transistor and the other by sensing a wire. The npn sensor ...

Until recently, the limiting factor in high-temperature electronics has been the degradation in semiconductor properties of the active components used. However, with recent advances in ...

Proper precision calibration resistors are expensive and usually bulky, often in a large box or can. These are overkill for low-cost handheld digital multimeters (DMMs) and LCR Meters, especially when ...

Designers often want to measure the junction temperature of a DC switching power supply. Knowing a system’s junction temperature is an important and basic requirement from safety and failure mode and ...
