Because much can be deduced about a physical system by measuring temperature, it is by far the most electronically measured physical parameter. Selecting a temperature sensor involves balancing accuracy requirements, durability, cost and compatibility with the measured medium. For instance, because of its low cost, a small-signal transistor such as the MMBT3904 is an attractive choice for high volume or disposable sensing applications. Although such ...
