Temperature Sensors - NTC Thermistors

NTC thermistors are temperature sensors that use the special properties of a thermistor to measure temperature. An NTC thermistor is a type of thermistor constructed of a semiconductor material that specifically exhibits a high resistance when in a cold state and a low resistance when in a hot state. NTC thermistors are also known as negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors or negative temperature coefficient thermistors because its resistance will decrease as its temperature increases.

The NTC15XW222E03RC is a surface mountable NTC thermistor that is primarily used in temperature sensing applications. This type of thermistor offers several advantages over other types of temperature sensors, which include a high degree of accuracy, the ability to sense temperature over an extended range, and a fast response time. Additionally, the NTC15XW222E03RC is a high-precision device that offers excellent linearity and a wide temperature sensing range.

Working Principle

The NTC15XW222E03RC utilizes the negative temperature coefficient phenomenon according to which the electrical resistance of a thermistor changes inversely to its temperature. This device is composed of a semiconductor material that exhibits a higher electrical resistance when it is in a cold state and a lower electrical resistance when it is in a hot state. The NTC15XW222E03RC is designed such that when temperature increases, the resistance decreases at a precise rate, and when the temperature decreases, the resistance increases at a precise rate.

The NTC15XW222E03RC is a surface mountable device that utilizes four pins for sensing and power. The two pins on either end are used to sense temperature, and the two pins in between are used to provide the device with the necessary power. The device is designed to sense a temperature range of -30℃ to 150℃, with a precision of an ±0.5℃ accuracy. Additionally, the device features a built-in temperature range compensation circuitry that compensates the device\'s response to temperature when the ambient temperature changes.

In conclusion, the NTC15XW222E03RC is an ideal temperature sensor for automotive, medical, and industrial applications. Its fast response time, accuracy, and linearity make it a preferred choice for many applications. Additionally, its built-in temperature range compensation circuitry helps to ensure accuracy even when ambient temperature conditions are continuously changing.
