Analog Fan Speed Control

The large issue today that caused by more electronic equipment enters the home and the office is noise of fan. to reduce fan noise, a variable speed fan is used because it permits quieter and slower, fan speed when temperature conditions allow. To build a variable speed fan we can use digital control or high-speed/low-speed switches. Digitally controlled fans perform […]

IR-Linked Temperature Sensor

This is a circuit that transmits temperature data over an IR link and it allows the isolation of temperature sensor. It is a good solution of obtaining temperature readings from points at potentials a few tens of volts from ground by linking a temperature probe  only by an IR connection to the readout point. This circuit consist of a temperature […]

Circuit Converts PWM Fan Drive to Linear and Reduces Acoustic Noise

We usually use a fan to manage the temperature, but it produces audible noise at full speed. To reduce this noise we can use this circuit. The first circuit reduces the noise by controlling the cooling-fan speed as a function of temperature. It uses an IC that combines temperature sensing with a PWM output. When the temperature of the processor […]

Analog Compensation Circuit for PT100 RTD Temperature Sensor

There are some digital and analog that can be used for compensating a PT100 RTD nonlinearity. We can implemented the digital linearization by implementing the previous generic equation  or by a lookup table. By implementing the previous generic equation we can calculate temperature values directly, based on the actual measured RTD resistance. A lookup table allows an application to convert […]

Isolated Temperature Sensor

In some temperature-sensing applications there are some problems caused by the placement of sensors on location where the potential is very different from that of the data-acquisition-system common. So the operating temperature sensor must be isolated from its data-acquisition system galvanically.  And the power’s source for the sensor was isolated. This circuit is designed to solve that problem. It provides […]
