Matching a sensor interface with a programmable logic converter or controller hardware that can accept only one type of input—npn or pnp—can be difficult. The last-stage modification circuit described ...

A way to apply the output of certain sensors to a TTL/CMOS-level iput on a microcontroller. Sensor must have an NPN output stage that can support a pullup to its power rail. With just a few components ...

The ZSC31014 is a Digital Output Sensor Signal Conditioner featuring high accuracy and fast power-up data output response. It has digital compensation of sensor offset and internal temperature ...

Some photoelectric sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and rotary encoders generate a digital dc output called a push-pull signal. The external environment activates the sensor, which, in turn, closes a ...

This tutorial discusses about using Maxim sensor signal conditional and transmitter products to minimize the notable non-linear errors of piezoresistive sensors due to temperature, which is the main ...

Transistor instead of reed: As the first instrument of its kind, WIKA has launched a float switch with a PNP/NPN output signal. The model GLS-1000 detects the level of liquids with an accuracy of ≤ 1 ...

In What’s the Difference Between Vibration Sensors, we focused on the advantages and drawbacks of various types of vibration sensors on the market. In signal conditioning and tips, we address the ...
