The IEEE has defined IEEE 1451, a family of Smart Transducer Interface standards that permit systems to automatically identify sensors and obtain their calibration and operating parameters. In March ...

Though the digital world likes all things digital, it needs to turn to the analog side to find out about the real world. Sensors provide this input, but most are invariably analog in nature and they ...

This article presents the improvement in Analog Front-End (AFE) development and the GUI tool that enables easy customization of analog circuitry. It discusses the application of networks of sensors to ...

The field of electronics, sensors and digital hardware underpins modern technological progress by integrating miniaturised processing units, advanced sensor systems and robust digital circuitry to ...

UC San Diego has developed a system that uses analog sensors with a direct interface to RFID tags, making them passive sensor devices. The solution includes analog to digital conversion without ...

PIC, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi: If you can work with these three types of systems, then you can connect with just about anything Microcontrollers (MCUs) can be very handy, but without the ability to ...

We live in an analog world, but digital processing has proven quicker, cheaper and easier. Moving digital data around is only possible while the physics of wires can be safely abstracted away enough ...
