Silicon pezoresitive-bridge pressure transducer (SPPT) is very popular in medical, industrial, environmental, and automotive pressure sensor application. The general architecture of SPPT uses a thin micromachined silicon diaphragm incorporates a implanted piezoresitive Wheatson-bridge strain-gauge. The transducer design allows only a small diaphragm deflection sin it has limited elasticity, and this produces only a very [...]

To obtain an accurate pressure value, we must remove the offset errors. There are many basic circuit designs that is used to remove the offset errors. This circuit uses three method to remove the offsets errors, they are symmetrical offset trim, asymmetrical offset trim and amplifier gain adjustment. Here is the circuit: [...]

This is pressure sensor signal conditioning circuit. It is simple and inexpensive circuit because it has small geometry and simple pressure sensor. It just uses a single Operational Amplifier. This circuit obtain power from from 3-V battery. To work properly this circuit must work in 0 C to 50 C temperature range. Here is the [...]

Photovoltaic transducers has been widely used in medical, consumer, scientific instrumentation, and industrial applications. Photovoltaic sensors is a solid-state devices and available for wide range of wavelength response, cover from infrared, visible, and ultraviolet spectrum. This characteristic make this type of transducer applicable in diverse jobs such as colorimetry, chemical spectral analysis, non-contact thermometry, non-invasive [...]

Transducers is used in video system to convert optical signal to electrical signal in the acquisition. In the display, transducer is used to convert electrical signal back to light. Transducers often have a transfer function (the ratio of signal in to light out) that is unacceptably nonlinear. The newer technology of [...]

Thermocouples give many benefits compared to thermistor/RTD (Resistance Temperature Devices). Some advantages of thermocouple are their wider temperature range, their reliability, and their consistency over long period of time. In some cases, thermocouple calibration is even unnecessary. Thermocouple temperature sensors are widely used in temperature controllers for boilers, oven, pressurized reactor, even in high temperature [...]
