LM903
LM903 is Fluid Level Detector manufactured by National Semiconductor.
Description
The LM903 uses the thermal-resistive probe technique to measure the level of nonflammable fluids A low fluid level is indicated by a warning lamp operating in continuous or flashing mode All supervisory requirements to control the thermal-resistive probe including short and open circuit probe detection are incorporated within the device The circuit has possible applications in the detection of hydraulic fluid oil level etc and may be used with partially conducting fluids
