The I/O capabilities built into most microcontrollers make it easy to measure the analog world. Say you want to build a data logger for temperature. All you need to do is get some kind of sensor that ...
to-20 mA output current is controlled using the PWM function of a precision analog microcontroller. This circuit provides a low cost solution to temperature monitoring because most of the circuit ...
I recently published a simple design for a platinum resistance detector (PRTD) 4 to 20mA transmitter circuit, illustrated in Figure 1. Unfortunately, implementing such quadratic floating-point ...
Galvanically (that is, optically or electromagnetically) isolated 4- to 20-mA current loops offer robust noise immunity and tolerate long cable runs. These advantages, combined with simple unshielded ...
