Transducer Interfacing Handbook, 1980
Transducer Interfacing Handbook, Edited by Dan Sheingold, Analog Devices, 1980
This book was an early classic on the overall subject of sensor signal conditioning. The concepts of transducers, bridges, temperature sensors, pressure, and force sensors form the basis of modern industrial signal conditioning circuits. The book has stood the test of time and most of the concepts are still valid today.
