NTC thermistors have ultra-tight tolerances
Murata Electronics
NCP thermistors
Murata has announced ultra-tight-tolerance versions of its chip negative-temperature-coefficient (NTC) thermistor series, the NCP series.
+/-0.5 per cent tolerance versions are now available with consumer, industrial and automotive temperature ranges, offering a low-cost alternative to IC-based sensing solutions when high sensing accuracy is required.
These parts are aimed at applications where the most accurate temperature sensing is required, such as air-conditioning systems, power-supply cooling/thermal-management systems and automotive temperature-sensing applications.
Murata's NCP series of chip NTC thermistors offer benefits such as small package sizes (down to 0201) and feature constant temperature coefficient for all the package sizes, supporting customers who wish to downsize their designs.
Simulation software that calculates the output characteristics of any of 418 of Murata's NCP series of thermistors is available online, to help designers find the right part without trial and error.
