Re: [time-nuts] What do people use for measuring temperature?

2020-09-26 Thread Manfred Bartz
A thermistor should do the job. You can buy them in SMD packages and down to 0.1% accuracy. How much resolution you get depends on the measurement range and the ADC you are using. A platinum RTD would be another candidate but requires more signal conditioning. In 3-wire or 4-wire probe configurat

Wow, thanks for all the information. Thanks Bruce Griffiths, the LTC6957 is expensive but looks very good for sine to square wave conversion. Thanks Lester Veenstra for the details on some of the devices on the interface PCA and the link to the TLV3501 signal conditioning module. Thanks Bob kb8t

I am not quite sure what you want to accomplish but a diode mixer will have a number of undesirable products in its output signal. An analog multiplier such as AD834 should give you a much cleaner output. You still need to filter out the unwanted product. -- Manfred On Fri, Jul 24, 2020 at 5:56 A

USB: The raw BPS are between the device and the host controller - all of this is implemented in hardware. USB Low-Speed, Full-Speed and Hi-Speed use a single twisted pair in half-duplex operation. The half-duplex link multiplexes all implemented EPs (End Points). EP0 is for link management and HI
