What use is a sensor that's wrong?

The old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably and regularly proves its worth. Arguably, this advice applies to the circuit design ...

Two papers at the International Solid-state Circuits Conference tackled ultra-low power on-chip temperature sensing, one using an npn transistor and the other by sensing a wire. The npn sensor ...

In a previous post on this site, my colleague Steve Madara made the case that the current practice of managing data center thermal conditions based on pressure differential is outdated and inefficient ...
