1-03-2005 | In this short article, we describe how to bit-bang a DS18B20 or DS18S20 temperature sensor device using PIC firmware written in ‘C’, and out...

1-01-2004 | This electronic alternative to mechanical temperature and humidity recorders is a very compact standalone unit which draws very little curre...

1-09-2003 | It’s probably the worst nightmare for all PC owners: The fan has been quietly doing its job keeping the PC internals nice and cool but over...

1-04-2003 | Alongside its purely functional uses the PC also has a position as a status symbol. At computer nerd get-togethers, it is de rigeur to have...

1-12-2002 | The Maxim MAX6670 (http://pdfserv.maxim-ic.com/arpdf/MAX6668-MAX6670.pdf) is an integrated circuit for temperature-dependent fan control. Th...

1-12-2001 | In the July/August issue of 1998 we introduced the LM75, a 9-bit temperature sensor. Since then, the same company (National Semiconductor) h...

1-07-2001 | A temperature measurement system with up to eight distributed temperature sensors can be realised using only a single signalling lead. This...

1-07-2001 | A simple proportional fan controller can be built using the MIC502 from Micrel (www.micrel.com). With this IC the speed of the fan runs slow...

1-07-2001 | It frequently happens that you have an application in which you want to measure the temperature of a circuit or the outside world. This can...

1-11-2000 | It is often desirable to know how hot a part is. The usual method is to use a thermometer to measure the temperature, but this may not alway...
