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 excellent long term stability in high-temperature environments. They has […]

Temperature Measurement with NTC Thermistors

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 Coefficient (NTC). When the temperature increases, PTC thermistor resistance will increase and NTC thermistor resistance will decrease. They exhibit […]

Analog front-end IC linearizes sensors

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, RTDs, thermistors, and external diodes with 0.1°C accuracy and 0.001°C resolution. The analog front-end device combines […]
