Although this circuit connects the DS18S20 1-Wire temperature sensor to a Cypress CY8C26443 PSoC microcontroller, designers can easily adapt it to connect other 1-Wire devices to any microprocessor.

Designing an analog circuit can be a frustrating experience, as noted by Nick Cornford in his Design Idea (DI), “ DIY RTD for a DMM.” With a fortnight’s struggle, I completed the design of 4 mA to ...

If, for whatever reason, this sounds like something you’d find useful, the Cmicro basic set with sensor, cover, and display is on presale now for $69, the Cmicro baby set for $74, and the Cmicro ...

Temperature-measurement sensors are typically thermocouples, RTDs, or thermistors. If the parameter being measured is very sensitive to temperature, placement of the temperature sensor is important.
