I'm thinking of doing some temperature sensing using the approach that Dallas and Maxim has with the current source and measuring the voltage across a diode-connected transistor. They don't go into alot of detail on what they are doing...other than around 100uA of current. I assume this must be a stable current source and just measure the voltage that is generated? I'd like to do this in just a PIC, since its there doing some other stuff as well. The alternate is to use the MAX1805 and interface the I2C to the PIC. But one chip is better than two... _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
