Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) ceramics and thin films represent a pivotal class of materials in modern electronics, where their intrinsic property of decreasing electrical resistance with ...

A few simple components are all it takes to create an over-temperature alarm. The circuit in Figure 1 requires only an ordinary negative-temperature-coefficient (NTC) thermistor, two common ICs, and a ...

As aeroengine thrust-to-weight ratios continue to improve, the operating temperature of their hot-end components has risen steadily, placing stricter demands on the performance of temperature sensors.

Check out our Sensors Converge 2023 coverage. The Internet of Things (IoT) ushered in the growth of sensors that track everything from the number of steps we take when walking to how much CO 2 is in ...

As useful as the rectification properties of diodes are, the forward voltage drop they create can vary widely with temperature. This increases losses and can introduce tolerance errors in power ...

Designers face many chal lenges when placing thermal-sensing components in embedded systems. The first comes in choosing the temperature sensor. It is often not obvious whether a thermistor, resistive ...
