Texas Instruments recently brought to market what it claims to be the world's first single-chip passive infrared (IR) micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) temperature sensor, called the TMP006.

So, you need to measure the temperature of your IC, PCB, or box? No big deal: you can use one of the many available approaches, via sensors such as a thermocouple, RTD, thermistor, diode, or an ...

Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) is enabling contactless temperature measurement for the first time in portable consumer electronics with the industry’s first single-chip passive ...

Passive InfraRed sensors (PIRs) are electronic devices which are used in some security alarm systems to detect motion of an infrared emitting source, usually a human body. All objects, living or not, ...

Accurate temperature control is particularly essential in the battery industry, especially during the processes of coating ...

A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors.

The same material that makes the theft detectors go off in a department store when the salesperson forgets to remove the anti-theft tag, may make inexpensive, passive temperature and stress sensors ...

Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object being ...

SMARTRAC’s Sensor Temperature DogBone inlay and RFMicron’s Temperature Sensor Powered by Magnus tag both use RFMicron’s Magnus S3 passive RFID sensor IC, released a year ago (see RFMicron Releases New ...

Measuring temperature turns out to be a fundamental function for a huge number of devices. You furnace’s programmable thermostat and digital clocks are obvious examples. If you just needed to know if ...
