Murata has launched two families of affordable, surface-mount NTC thermistors which perform precise temperature measurement at high temperatures.
Thermal design is becoming a more important function in electronic systems, as more functions are added to increasingly sophisticated consumer, mobile, and computing devices and to vehicles, increasing the load on components such as microprocessors and electronic control units (ECUs). Precise measurement at high temperatures is now required to maintain high performance even when operating at high temperatures.
To meet this requirement, Murata has developed its latest NCU and NCP thermistors, which offer substantial improvements in measurement error compared to competing devices.
Automotive AEC-Q200-qualified versions of the new NCU thermistors are available in 1005 and 1608 case sizes. New NCP thermistors for use in non-automotive applications are available in 0402 and 0603 case sizes. NCU thermistors for use in non-automotive applications are available in 1005 and 1608 case sizes.
