The title says it all – this article describes a microcontroller-compatible current sensor module you can build yourself, using an inexpensive 8-pin chip as an ‘active shunt’ for measuring ac/dc ...

Sensors are energy conversion devices. Sensors or transducers convert the physical world of light, pressure, temperature, flow, level, acceleration, force, etc. to electrical signals but generally ...

A new scanning microscope developed at Brown University can uncover defects in the smallest and most complex integrated circuits at a resolution 1,000 times greater than current technology. The ...

Picking up where we left off in Part 1, we need to explore some methods to mitigate problems caused by unpredictable ground currents.

Designed specifically for high-voltage sensing, a new generation of optically isolated amplifiers make monitoring and system protection circuits more accurate and easier to design. These iso-amps can ...
