It is known that the p-n diode can be the basis of an accurate thermometer for cryogenic temperatures up to about 200°C. A constant current is maintained through the diode and the voltage across it ...

At the heart of a thermal anemometer are two sensors: an air velocity sensor and a temperature compensation sensor. The velocity sensor is heated to an elevated temperature (relative to the ...

The luminous intensity of an LED has a temperature dependence of exp [ k ( T – TA ) ], where k is on the order of -0.01 / °C. This means that as temperature linearly increases or decreases, the light ...

The excellent linearity of integrated-circuit temperature sensors makes them ideal for direct analog compensation of the thermally induced errors inherent in many circuits. For example, a ...
