TMP61 (ACTIVE) Silicon-based linear thermistor with a positive temperature coefficient (PTC)

Silicon-based linear thermistor with a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) - TMP61
Datasheet
TMP61 Silicon-Based Linear Thermistor for Temperature Sensing datasheet
 

Description

The TMP61xx series of Silicon Linear Thermistors has a linear positive temperature coefficient (PTC) that results in a uniform, consistent temperature coefficient resistance (TCR) across a wide operating temperature range. These devices are designed for temperature measurement, protection, compensation, and control systems. Compared to traditional NTC thermistors, the TMP61xx series of devices offers enhanced linearity and consistent sensitivity across the full temperature range. They also have robust performance due to their immunity to environmental variation and their built-in fail-safe behavior at high temperatures. These devices are currently available in a 2-pin, surface-mount, 0402 footprint-compatible X1SON package and a 2-pin, through-hole, mini-sized transistor-outline TO-92S package.
