Temperature sensor applications usually fall into one of three general categories; monitoring, control, or circuit compensation, and four sensor types; thermocouples, thermistors, resistance-temperature detectors (RTD), and semiconductor temperature sensors. When selecting a sensor, some key characteristics to consider include temperature range, accuracy, response time, minimal temperature effect on the measured object, and the type of signal conditioning required. Other… Continue
