Bosch Sensortec has announced a barometric pressure sensor that is able to deliver much higher levels of accuracy for altitude tracking in smartphones as well as wearable and hearable devices. The sensor, the BMP390, can measure height changes below 10cms thanks to the improved...

AKM's CZ-3AGx coreless current sensors can be used for many applications, including AC motors and general-purpose inverters. AKM’s CZ-3AGx series coreless current sensors can achieve both creepage distance and clearance distance greater than 8 mm, corresponding to the UL Safety...

Although the WSEN-TIDS temperature sensor from Würth Elektronik measures just 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.5 mm, its range of application is wide: Its accuracy in the measuring range -40 to 125°C is ±0.5°C, while in the range -10 to 60°C it goes down to ±0.25°C. Applications extend from PCB...

ASIL-ready MLX91377 for steering-torque and general automotive sensing. Melexis announces the MLX91377 ASIL-ready Hall sensor IC suitable for use in safety-critical automotive systems such as electric power-assisted steering (EPAS). With an ambient operating temperature up to 160°C...

From tracking diabetes to the detection of diseases like Cystic Fibrosis, a lot of ideas around monitoring/analyzing human sweat, as a non-invasive method of detecting or monitoring diseases has been around for a while. Leveraging on this idea, a team of researchers at Caltech, led by...

This reflective sensor module is a high-performance 0-5 cm active proximity detector. The sensor can provide a range up to 50cm with higher current infra-red LED and current limit resistor R2, R4 used across IR LED. Because the sensor operates on an absolute reflectance threshold...
