Integrating the data converter with a MEMS sensor is the way ahead, writes David Dunn, a field applications engineer at Analog Devices Design engineers are increasingly combining the converter core ...

Microsoft's Xbox Kinect system brings real people into virtual worlds — scanning people jumping around their living room, for example, to animate characters playing volleyball on a virtual beach. Now, ...

Smarter converters will help designers create more energy-efficient electrical and hybrid-electric vehicles, power transmission grids, medical and digital X-ray imaging systems, and faster wireless ...

DC/DC converters for field sensor transmitters have distinctive requirements, such as high efficiency, wide input voltage range (wide VIN), small size, low noise, and low overall bill-of-materials ...

In the past, capacitive sensors for automotive electronics were rarely used, as they were deemed to be hard to control, difficult to read out, sensitive to aging, and temperature dependent. On the ...

While most carbon dioxide sensors use IR technology, electrochemical sensors are a serious competitor because of their high sensitivity, wide measurement range, and low price. As a rule, ...

To help in those situations, designers at Hyde Park Electronics, Dayton, Ohio (hpsensors.com), developed Python Power, an ac-to-dc converter. It consists of a universal, in-line ac/dc power supply and ...
