This technical document discusses a simple method of converting a PWM output signal into an analog output signal employing a Hall effect sensor or PWM sensor. This article covers the behavior of PWM ...

A current sensor with PWM output is a very useful type of device. Traditionally, the device can serve in a digital application where the host microcontroller can determine the ratio of the on-time to ...

An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...

Banner Engineering announces its industry-recognized Q4X laser distance sensor is now available with analog output. Featuring 4-20mA and 0-10 V output options, the Q4X analog models expand the variety ...

Most electronic engineers know that a transistor’s base-emitter voltage (V BE) has a temperature coefficient (TC) of about -2 mV/°C. However, for precision temperature sensors, “about” isn’t good ...

ROHM's RPR-0730 Analog Compact Optical Sensor Capable of high-precision detection of fast-moving objects. Relationship Between Line Width and Speed RPR-0730 achieves high-speed and high-precision ...

Promoted as low-cost components, the Virtu and Virtu18 ultrasonic sensors are now available with analog outputs. Both are dual-mount, barrel-style sensors with a sensing range from 50 mm to 508 mm and ...

Figure 1a shows a slotted optical switch. An LED is mounted in a plastic housing, facing a phototransistor, but separated by a gap. If something moves into the gap, it blocks the light path between ...

A great many industrial sensors — flow, level, temperature, pressure, pH, and the list goes on — produce a 4-20 mA output, but today's factories increasingly need digital inputs via standard field ...
