LM1042
LM1042 is Fluid Level Detector manufactured by National Semiconductor.
Description
The LM1042 uses the thermal-resistive probe technique to measure the level of non-flammable fluids An output is provided proportional to fluid level and single shot or repeating measurements may be made All supervisory requirements to control the thermal-resistive probe including short and open circuit probe detection are incorporated within the device A second linear input for alternative sensor signals may also be selected
