Although technically a lot simpler, mechanical speaking, than their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts, electric cars are also a lot more complicated. That's because they rely on a wide ...

Self-powered sensor Using this design framework, they built an energy management circuit for an off-the-shelf temperature sensor. The device harvests magnetic field energy and uses it to continually ...

What if you created a sensor system that didn't require batteries? Self-sustaining, such a platform could run for decades. A recent study set out to do just that. Researchers from the University of ...

One of the joys of writing up the entries for the 2025 Component Abuse Challenge has come in finding all the different alternative uses for the humble transistor. This building block of all modern ...

Temperature sensor integrated circuits (ICs) have several advantages over negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors. For example, temperature sensor ICs have a much more linear response than ...
