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...
Because silicon is relatively easy and inexpensive to obtain and process, silicon diodes are more prevalent than germanium diodes. Germanium Diodes. Germanium diodes are manufactured in a manner similar to silicon diodes. Germanium diodes also utilize a p-n junction and are implanted with the same impurities that silicon diodes are implanted with. Germanium diodes, however, have a forward-bias voltage of 0.3 Volts. Germanium is a rare material that is typically found with copper, lead or silver deposits. Because of its rarity, germanium is more expensive to work with, thus making germanium diodes more difficult to find (and sometimes ...
