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 Small Silicon-Based Linear Thermistor for Temperature Sensing datasheet (Rev. C)
 

Description

The TMP61 series of small silicon linear thermistors are designed for temperature measurement, protection, compensation, and control systems. Compared to traditional NTC thermistors, the TMP61 device offers enhanced linearity and consistent sensitivity across the full temperature range. The TMP61 offers robust performance due to device immunity to environmental variation and built-in fail-safe behaviors at high temperatures. This device is 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, and a low profile 2-pin SOT-5X3 package.
