In the example above, Tc = 23.81 degrees C, V_ad which is the output of the HIH-4000 sensor is 3.17 VDC and the supply voltage V_dd is 5.03 VDC. The relative humidity may then be calculated as; Note that the RH #166 Sender Unit is powered (+5 VDC and GRD) by the master unit; TM #128, IOM #135E, IOM #136 or IOM #142A.
A germanium diode is a diode made using the element Germanium in stead of Silicon (Silicium). While both perform the same function (they only let current pass through them in one direction) there are some differences between the silicon and german...
a semiconductor device containing one p-n junction, used in circuits for converting alternating current to direct current More formal name semiconductor diode 2. the earliest and simplest type of electronic valve having two electrodes, an anode and a cathode, between which a current can flow only in one direction. It was formerly widely used as a rectifier and detector but has now been replaced in most electrical circuits by the more efficient and reliable semiconductor diode
