As discussed in the first article of this two-part series, there are different challenges involved in designing and optimizing thermistor-based application solutions. These are sensor selection and ...

In climate-controlled works there is need for some kind of defrosting. Defrosting precludes ice formation and to thaw ice in cooling and freezing systems. The defrost control assembly mainly consists ...

In recent EDN design ideas, we’ve seen thermostat designs that meld the functions of sensor and heater into a single device: FET, BJT, or even a simple length of fine gauge copper wire. A virtue ...
