Das Szenario

An NTC thermistor in a voltage divider drives an NPN transistor. As temperature rises, NTC resistance drops, base voltage increases, turning on the transistor to pull the open-collector output low, signaling an overheat condition.

Was diese Zeichnung zeigt

Die dahinterstehenden Entscheidungen verstehen.

01

Use a common-emitter NPN transistor for sufficient gain to switch with the divider output.

02

Open-collector output allows wired-OR connections and compatibility with various logic levels.

Suitable for thermostat controllers, over-temperature protection in power supplies, and alarm systems where the output must interface with microcontrollers or relays.
