Toshiba is aiming at over-temperature detection in mobile devices and home appliances with a family of ICs, intended to work with positive coefficient thermistors. Power consumption is under 12μA with 10μA of that going through the thermistor as sensing current. Lower current (<2μA) versions are planned. Inside is a current source to feed the PTC …
