Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has developed a cost-effective SMD negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor capable of high-precision temperature measurement in high-temperature areas, expanding the product lineup of the "NCU series" and "NCP series". Mass production has begun and samples can be provided.
With the high performance of electronic devices such as smartphones and tablet terminals, as well as the development of electric vehicles, the problem of heat generation caused by the increase in electronic component load has occurred from time to time. Heating can affect the efficiency of application performance and is an important issue that urgently needs to be addressed.
Especially in the automotive industry, in order to achieve electrification and autonomous driving, high-performance ICs are installed and the number of electronic components is rapidly increasing, which may further exacerbate the phenomenon of heat generation. Therefore, the design to prevent heat generation is becoming increasingly important.
In this context, in order to ensure the application performance in high-temperature areas, the demand for high-precision temperature detection in high-temperature areas has also emerged. Murata has developed an SMD type negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor based on long-term accumulated process technology, which can perform high-precision temperature measurement in high-temperature areas and has high cost-effectiveness.
Temperature error characteristics of new products
The blue line in the above figure represents the temperature detection accuracy of the new product. The accuracy has significantly improved compared to F product, approaching the accuracy of high-precision D product. (Note: F and D represent resistance tolerances in the product name. In order to distinguish, the expressions F and D are used here.)
Vehicle application model (supports AEC-Q200)
Off board application models
In the future, Murata will continue to expand its product lineup to meet market demand and support the development of various electronic devices and automotive applications.
