A version of thie article appeared in the February 2012 issue of Test & Measurement World. See the PDF. Many industrial systems use the 4–20-mA loop to transmit measurements from sensors to displays, ...

The 0- to 20-mA current loop isa reliable means of data communicationin industrial applications.These circuits use a precision shunt inthe receiver to convert the current signalinto a voltage signal.

This circuit solved a problem encountered in developing a portable device with an ARM Cortex-M0 processor. The power supply consisted of two AA batteries (2 × 1.5 V), and I needed to signal the user ...

Microcontrollers are taking on a variety of new and much more complex computing tasks, evolving from standalone chips to more highly integrated devices that can rival complex microprocessors.

Microchip is aiming at motor control by combining a triple half-bridge mosfet gate driver, a 100MHz processor and CAN FD transceivers in the same IC. Other members of the family offer LIN transceivers ...
