.. operational amplifier, an LDR, an LED, and a few passive components. The LDR, or light-dependent-resistor, is the main sensor of the circuit while the op-amp is a square wave generator and also serves as an LED driver because it can ...
.. when noise is a problem. This is especially true when measuring thermocouple, strain gage, and bridge type pressure sensor inputs, since they produce very small signals in a noisy environment. This circuit can offer a performance ...
.. thermal anemometers work by inferring air speed from measurements of thermal impedance (Z) between a heated sensor and the surrounding air: (1) where P is the power dissipated by the sensor and T is the temperature ...
.. two transistors in a Darlington pair with Q2 serving as an unheated ambient thermometer and Q1 as the self-heated airflow sensor. Reference amplifier A1 and current sense resistor R3 regulate a constant 67 mA = heating current = 333 mW @ ...
.. automatic FAN controller board is simple, compact, and can be embedded inside commercial devices. The LM35 temperature sensor could be fixed on the heatsink using some silicon glue. The user can easily set the temperature threshold ...
