NTC thermistors and thin film PTC RTDs have temperature-dependent characteristics that are in essence not linear, even if the level of linearity is higher for RTDs than for NTC thermistors.
The resistors used in electronic applications with low power consumption are getting ever smaller. However, the conditions for the pulse load capability need to be considered already in the design phase.
In this application note, experimental results are provided in order to prevent overheating of electronic devices such as surface-mount resistors.
