Semiconductors exhibit different types of temperature coefficients. In order to valuable parameters such as resistance or forward voltage drop and the associated change in temperature, one must ...

The impact of on-resistance on MOSFETs. The role of temperature coefficient in comparing different MOSFETs' on-resistance. What type of FET has the lowest conduction losses? There's nothing quite like ...

The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), also referred to as RTC, is a performance characteristic that is heavily influenced by resistor construction for very low resistance values and can be ...

Until recently, the limiting factor in high-temperature electronics has been the degradation in semiconductor properties of the active components used. However, with recent advances in ...

As discussed in the first article of this two-part series, there are different challenges involved in designing and optimizing thermistor-based application solutions. These are sensor selection and ...

The aerospace, automotive, and environmental sectors often face harsh conditions such as high temperatures and corrosion. Thus, real-time in-situ temperature and pressure monitoring of critical ...

A new selection of materials has allowed Rohm to add 5W rated current sensing resistors to its 2512 sized (6432 metric) PMR100 series of metal plate shunts, formerly rated at either 2 or 3W only. They ...

Advanced sialon ceramics are designed for many high-temperature applications, competing with reputable technical ceramics and refractory materials with their high strength and durability features.
