Selecting the Right NTC Thermistor for DC-DC Converters

An OEPL Technical Integration Guide

DC-DC converters are the heartbeat of modern embedded electronics, but they are highly susceptible to inrush currents and temperature fluctuations during initial power-up.

Power Conversion with MicroPower Direct

When integrating MicroPower Direct (MPD) high-density DC-DC converters, such as their SMD or DIP series, the power draw during startup can stress downstream components. MPD designs their converters with soft-start features, but external thermal compensation is often required for extreme temperatures.

Thermal Management with Selco Products

Selco's NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistors act as an ideal solution for inrush current limiting and thermal sensing. Placed in series with an MPD converter's input, the high initial resistance of the Selco thermistor chokes the inrush spike, safely heating up and dropping resistance for normal operation.
