A resistor that changes its resistance characteristics as a function of its temperature is also called a thermistor. So the PTCR is technically a thermistor. Figure 1 shows a PTCR wired in a circuit.

The design process begins by picking a temperature, which I call the inflection temperature T I, at which we want the flattest possible transfer function (V OUT /V IN).My design task is to compute ...

It performs the same function as a current relay or potential relay but in a much different manner. A PTC relay uses a positive temperature coefficient thermistor to remove the start winding and/or ...

In contrast, the signal-conditioning circuit in Figure 2 mitigates the thermistor’s inherent nonlinearity by generating a compensating, pseudologarithmic response function that’s Curve C in Figure 1 ...

Murata Electronics has developed a ceramic PTC thermistor (POSISTOR) with the world's first multilayered structure. Murata's PRG21 series is the smallest in the industry measuring only 2 mm x 1.25 ...

The tool designs the thermistor system with an excitation voltage in a ratiometric configuration. It also allows customers to adjust the settings such as the sensor type, temperature range being ...
