Sensing Air Flow with the PIC16C781

From Microchip Technology, Inc.
 

 
Programmable Switch Mode Controllers (PSMC) are not just for switching power supplies. This technical brief describes how to use the PIC16C781 PSMC in combination with the Integrated Operational Amplifier, Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), and gated timer to construct a thermally operated air flow sensor with minimum external components.
