As electronics replace legacy hydraulic components in brake-by-wire systems, different sensing technologies are needed for brake pedal sensing. Sensata’s Brake Pedal Force sensor for electromechanical ...

Backup sensors come standard on so many cars these days, which is awesome. Of course, that doesn’t help you at all if your car didn’t come with one. What does help you, however, is the FenSens Smart ...

Conventional thermostats are based on separate temperature sensor and heater devices with means for feedback between them. But in some recent EDN design ideas (DIs) we’ve seen thermostat designs that ...

This idea describes an MCU interface for a 1-Wire temperature sensor interface that offers high accuracy while using less board space. The circuit can be modified for use with any 1-Wire device. The ...

The sensor framework described in a recent journal by MIT scientists can also use other sources of energy such as vibrations or sunlight. Scientists have created a new type of sensor that does not ...

The Type LM35 temperature sensor from National Semiconductor is very popular for two reasons: it produces an output voltage that is directly proportional to the measured temperature in degrees Celsius ...

Melexis has created a magnetic sensor with functional safety for steer-by-wire systems. “For innovations like steer-by-wire systems, position sensors are a critical component that must exhibit ...

Despite what naysayers have proclaimed in the past, smartphones have not completely wiped out even the entry-level cameras. In fact, it has only pushed camera makers to step up their game even with ...
