The objective of this project was to implement a digital PID controller on an FPGA for a control application. The objective of this project was to implement a digital PID controller on an FPGA for a ...

A worker is about to enter a confined space. Prior to entry, he reaches down to his belt and pulls out his gas monitoring device. He points the device into the confined space and initiates a scan of ...

Designers face many chal lenges when placing thermal-sensing components in embedded systems. The first comes in choosing the temperature sensor. It is often not obvious whether a thermistor, resistive ...

In the classic spice model of an NTC thermistor available on the market now, the temperature is simulated by the embedded TEMP variable. This is ideal for the examination of a circuit’s general ...

In the first installment of this series, "Calculating a practical hotspot safety margin", we discussed how two-parameter thermal models assume that the entire motor, including windings, exhibits one ...
