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 ...

Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) ceramics and thin films represent a pivotal class of materials in modern electronics, where their intrinsic property of decreasing electrical resistance with ...

When using an optocoupler in a linear application, you should consider its gain drift with temperature. Traditional single- and dual-transistor-output devices have a notable gain drift with ...

Researchers from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil have developed a new way to measure variations in temperature coefficients (TCs) in solar modules. “Our work provides an improved ...

Researchers at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia have investigated whether the temperature coefficient of the short circuit current in perovskite-silicon ...

The OCV of the cell is determined by the cell’s state-of-charge (SoC). However, the temperature of the cell is another important factor, as the cell’s OCV will vary with temperature. This effect is ...

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 ...

During my engineering career, I’ve had the fortune of working in a comfortable, room-temperature environment. I’ve visited tropical factories where test equipment was being used in 90°F temperatures ...
