Understanding how oxygen sensors work will help you diagnose problems without having to rely completely on a repair shop. Oxygen sensors act as low-voltage producers, such as how a microphone uses ...

Currently, there are several semiconductor manufacturers that offer a system on a chip that is used to amplify the output of bridge sensors and compensate for error ...

Last month, we kicked this series off by showing you how to save some money by diagnosing a bad MAP sensor rather than just chucking cash at new parts that may or may not fix a specific problem. This ...

Sensors are increasingly finding use in embedded systems. Although industrial products have long used them for manufacturing-control systems, consumer devices are now starting to employ them, as well.

A sensor signal conditioner (SSC) is an integrated circuit that improves — or conditions — the signal coming from a sensor to reduce noise. The SSC also converts the signal from analog to digital ...

Renesas’ ZSSC3240, announced earlier today, is a sensor signal conditioning chip that provides amplification and 24bit digitisation for bridge and half-bridge resistive sensors, followed by 26bit ...

Modern car engine control systems rely on input from several sensors to regulate the engine’s performance as well as its emissions and other vital functions. When these sensors fail to provide ...

Fürstenfeldbruck, Germany: The first sensor signal-path design tool that enables engineers to move from concept to simulation to prototyping of common sensor solutions, claims developer National ...

A highly integrated, dual-channel, 16-bit programmable sensor-signal conditioner from Maxim Integrated Products provides amplification, calibration, signal linearization, and temperature compensation.

ST has created a dual precision op-amp for automotive sensor signal conditioning, with 20µV input offset voltage and 100nV/°C drift, and operation over 4 to 36V and -40 to 125°C. Input common mode ...
