It is often difficult to properly calibrate a temperature sensor since there is no suitable aid for doing so available. This article, which describes a temperature reference source, aims at putting ...

Temperature coefficient (tempco) is the specification that defines how a voltage reference’s output voltage will drift over a given temperature. The first plot shows data for the MAX6033 and the ...

CMOS current reference circuits play a critical role in modern integrated circuits by providing a stable and reproducible current source that remains unaffected by variations in supply voltage, ...

Voltage references are available with fixed and adjustable reference voltage outputs. Adjustable output is set by a resistor divider connected to a reference pin. These references are either shunt ...

When they need to add temperature control to a project, many hackers reach for a K-type thermocouple for their high-temperature needs, or an integrated temperature-sensing IC when it doesn’t get that ...

TI has remained remarkably quiet about its latest precision voltage reference IC: REF81. It is a modified form of the equally quietly released REF80, which is a temperature-controlled buried Zener ...

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a thermal analysis method that measures the difference between the rate of heat flow into a specimen and into a reference, measured as a function of ...
