  • Thermistor- Thermistors are thermally sensitive resistors whose prime function is to exhibit a large, predictable and precise change in electrical resistance when subjected to a corresponding change in body temperature. Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistors exhibit a decrease in electrical resistance when subjected to an increase in body temperature and Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) thermistors exhibit an increase in electrical resistance when subjected to an increase in body temperature.

  • Output Type : We can find 3 different Output types : Analog, Digital and Switch
  • Designation : IC Designation
  • Temperature Range : Die temperature range where the IC can operate.
  • Accuracy (Typical) : Typical IC accuracy
  • Accuracy (Max) : Maximum IC accuracy
  • Linear Temperature Slope : Linear temperature slope (available for Analog output ICs). Generally expressed in µA/°C or mV/°C Units
  • Input Voltage Range : Input voltage range where the IC can operate
  • Supply Current : IC supply current
  • Output Voltage Range : Output voltage range (available for some Analog output ICs). It generally depends of the temperature range and the linear temperature slope values.
