Introduction Barium titanate (BaTiO3) is a ferroelectric substance Since then, it has been applied to several applications that was first identified in 1944. Its resistivity at room under the name of POSISTOR. temperature becomes an n-type controlled-valency 1 semiconductor with 1-106ohm · cm, if a slight amount POSISTOR is Positive Temperature Coefficient of rare earth elements are added to Barium titanate. Thermistor (PTC Thermistor). Normally when the It was first made in 1951. Murata was extremely temperature increases, the resistance of conventional interested in this semiconductor and successfully Thermistor decreases. But, the resistance of PTC starting the first commercial production of the Thermistor rises sharply when its temperature exceeds POSISTOR in 1961. a specific temperature. 2. Characteristics of the POSISTOR® Basically, the POSISTOR increases its resistance value, three characteristics can be made, which are described when its temperature rises. From this phenomenon, below. !Table 1 Characteristics of POSISTOR Resistance - temperature Voltage - current characteristics Current - time characteristics characteristics (Static Characteristic, (Dynamic characteristic, (time independent) time independent) time dependent) 104 3 10 Constant Power 102 Basic 10 characteristics Current (A) log I Current 1 Constant Resistance Resistance Value (Ω) Resistance Value 0 50 100 150 200 10 15 20 25 log V Voltage Temperature (°C) Time (sec.)

Ta up Ambient Ta up log R log I temperature (Ta) (Ω) Current (A) Temperature (°C) log V Time (sec.) Temperature change can be detected This characteristic shows the relation This characteristic shows the because the resistance of POSISTOR between the applied voltage and relation between current and time is changed by ambient temperature. stable current, when the Thermistor as equilibrium is achieved between internal self-heating equals the heat internal self-heating and heat Features dissipated by the Thermistor to the dissipation under the applied voltage. outside (state of equilibrium).
