Murata has successfully commercialized the world’s smallest PTC thermistor (resettable fuse) with part number PRG03BC181QB6RL, in a 0201-inch size (0.6 x 0.3 x 0.3mm) package targeted for mobile devices. With an operating temperature from -20 deg C to 60 deg C the new PTC can provide...

Philip Kane @ jameco.com discuss about how to measure temperature with NTC thermistors. He writes: Thermistors (thermal resistors) are temperature dependent variable resistors. There are two types of thermistors, Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) and Negative Temperature...

Susan Nordyk @ edn.com discuss about LTC2986 which is able to digitize and linearize a combination of temperature sensors in Celsius or Fahrenheit degrees. A 10-channel temperature-measurement IC, the LTC2986 from Linear Technology directly digitizes any combination of thermocouples,...
