The NTC thermistor is a thermally sensitive resistor that can be utilized in various applications such as temperature sensors and thermal protection devices to protect circuits from overheating.
Improper use of NTC thermistors may cause malfunctions. This article introduces the causes and countermeasures for failure modes caused by the improper use of NTC thermistors.
Murata Manufacturing is now developing a new material with unprecedented strong points. This new material combines transparency, flexibility, conductivity, and safety. Furthermore, it realizes high workability to be able to easily draw circuit patterns and other elements with diverse methods.
ROHM has developed an on-device learning AI chip (SoC with on-device learning AI accelerator) for edge computer endpoints in the IoT field. It utilizes artificial intelligence to predict failures (predictive failure detection) in electronic devices equipped with motors and sensors in real-time with ultra-low power consumption.
One of the well-established key requirements in solar inverters is their high efficiency. But also, their costs, size and weight are subject to continuous improvements. One approach to better fulfil all these demanding requirements simultaneously is the use of multilevel topologies.
