Although this circuit connects the DS18S20 1-Wire temperature sensor to a Cypress CY8C26443 PSoC microcontroller, designers can easily adapt it to connect other 1-Wire devices to any microprocessor.

Designing an analog circuit can be a frustrating experience, as noted by Nick Cornford in his Design Idea (DI), “ DIY RTD for a DMM.” With a fortnight’s struggle, I completed the design of 4 mA to ...

Using real-time, closed-loop thermal management algorithms, the TS5111 temperature sensor from Renesas helps DDR5 memory modules run at peak efficiency. The JEDEC-compliant sensor is also useful for ...

A new Indiegogo campaign has appeared to help you monitor your food’s temperature when you microwave it. Called Cmicro, the device consists of a little puck (the actual sensor), a number of ...

A few simple components are all it takes to create an over-temperature alarm. The circuit in Figure 1 requires only an ordinary negative-temperature-coefficient (NTC) thermistor, two common ICs ...
