This idea describes an MCU interface for a 1-Wire temperature sensor interface that offers high accuracy while using less board space. The circuit can be modified for use with any 1-Wire device. The ...

Sometimes the best projects are the simple, quick hits. Easily designed, fast to build, and bonus points for working right the first time. Such projects very often lead to bigger and better things, ...

A very simple temperature indicator can be built around an 8-bit RISC microcontroller (see the figure). Data from a temperature sensor is processed by the MCU and used to display the temperature. The.

You can use an ADT7461 single-channel temperature monitor, an ADG708 low-voltage, low-leakage CMOS 8-to-1 multiplexer, and three standard 2N3906 pnp transistors to measure the temperatures of three ...

Accurate, inexpensive, and mature platinum resistance temperature detectors (PRTDs) with an operating range extending from the cryogenic to the incendiary are a gold (no! platinum!) standard for ...

One of the joys of writing up the entries for the 2025 Component Abuse Challenge has come in finding all the different alternative uses for the humble transistor. This building block of all modern ...
