Sensor design resource site for engineers launched

Mouser has launched a new resource site dedicated to sensor design guides. The resource site provides a growing collection of articles on the intricacies of sensor design applications, supplying engineers with the information they require to solve complicated design challenges.

Advances in sensor design have supported innovative new devices in consumer electronics, medical applications, and automotive manufacturing. The new sensor design guide resource site provides a range of rich, in-depth articles on topics including ToF sensors, MEMS microphones, gyroscopes, and accelerometers.

In an article on board-mounted temperature sensors, embedded systems expert Ishmael Chigumira explores the technological innovations that have made it feasible for temperature sensors to be incorporated in a PCB instead of located off-board. The article illustrates the different types of temperature sensors, explains how to interpret board-mounted sensors, and specifies several best practices for integration and implementation. In The Dos and Don’t of VOC Sensors, electronic engineer Robin Mitchell explains the different types of sensors used to measure VOCs. The article also explores the various applications for VOC sensors and offers tips on choosing the right solution for each potential design.
