Sensistors

• Sensistors are also Temperature sensitive resistors


with Positive temperature Coefficient (PTC)

• Resistance values of these devices increases with


increase in temperature

• They are also known as PTC thermistors.

• They are also referred as SWITCHING Thermistors.

Sensistors cont…

• Sensistors are heavily doped bulk semiconductors.


Examples : Germanium , silicon or barium titan ate.

• They acquire the properties of a metal.

• They have positive temperature of coefficient.

5
EC105.19
Sensistors cont.,..

• In these sensistors , the rise in temperature decrease


the mobility of charge carriers , so that their resistivity
increases.

• In the range of 210°k to 420°k, a typical sensistor has a


temperature coefficient of 0.7%per degree K.
