Before the MAX6629/30/31/32 series of temperature sensors were available, all digital-output temperature sensors were I 2 C (alternatively called SMBus) sensors that had to be written to for ...

In the first installment of this course, we learned that a digital value is a quantity that varies “in steps” and can take on only a finite number of values. In today’s logic systems, only two ...

The MAX31914 translates and conditions the 24V digital output of sensors and switches used in industrial, process, and building automation to 5V CMOS-compatible signals required by microcontrollers.

What kinds of things can you accomplish with a PC DAQ board? Fundamentally, you've got analog input and output, digital input and output, and counter/timer functions to choose from. So, there is a ...

Programmable logic controller IO module. How hard is it to keep track of a binary electronic system? It can only be in one of two states: on or off, open or closed, 0 or 1. While that may be correct, ...
