More on: 24bit analogue sensor front-end includes signal processing and loop interface

Renesas’ ZSSC3240, announced earlier today, is a sensor signal conditioning chip that provides amplification and 24bit digitisation for bridge and half-bridge resistive sensors, followed by 26bit sensor-specific correction in a maths core that handles auto-zero, span, and 1st and 2nd order temperature compensation from coefficients stored in non-volatile memory. Support circuits to feed the sensor is ...

Theory predicts when a phase crystal can arise

Researchers at Chalmers University and Montana State University have developed a theory that derives a so-called “phase crystal”, that elicits spontaneous magnetic fields and circulating currents. The theory predicts when a phase crystal can arise, explaining previous numerical results. Quantum mechanical states are described by a complex-valued wave function, which similar to a wave has ...
