NCT22, NCT24
Low Cost Single Trip Point
Temperature Sensor
The NCT22 and NCT24 are programmable solid state temperature
sensors designed to replace mechanical switches in sensing and
control applications. Both devices integrate the temperature sensor
with a voltage reference and all required detector circuitry. The desired
temperature set point is set by the user with a single external resistor.
Ambient temperature is sensed and compared to the programmed
setpoint. The OUT and OUT outputs are driven to their active state
when the measured temperature exceeds the programmed setpoint.
The NCT22 has a power supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 18 V
while the NCT24 operates over a power supply range of 2.7 V to 4.5 V.
Both devices are useable over a temperature range of –40°C to
+125°C. Both devices feature low supply current making them
suitable for many portable applications.
The devices are offered in surface mount packages.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Trip Point Programming
Hysteresis
The NCT22 and NCT24 are single point temperature
detectors ideal for use in a wide variety of applications.
When the temperature of the device exceeds the
programmed temperature trip point, T
SET
, the OUT and
OUT outputs are driven into their active states. The desired
trip point temperature is programmed with a single external
resistor connected between the T
SET
input and V
CC
. The
relationship between the resistor value and the trip point
temperature is given by the equation below.
RTRIP
+
0.5997
T2.1312
Where Rtrip
+
Programming resistor value in Ohms
T = Desired trip temperature in degrees Kelvin.
To prevent output “chattering’’ at the trip point
temperature, the temperature detector in the NCT22/24 has
2°C of hysteresis (see Figure 3).
The outputs are driven active when the temperature
crosses the setpoint determined by the external resistor. As
temperature declines below the setpoint, the hysteresis
action will hold the outputs true until the temperature drops
2°C below the threshold.

Figure 2. Programming Resistor Values
vs. Temperature
The NCT22 can be used to create a simple
over–temperature shutdown circuit. In this circuit,
temperature is sensed within the system enclosure (internal
system ambient), or at the heatsink itself. When measured
temperature exceeds a preset limit, a fault is indicated and
the system shuts down.
Figure 4 illustrates a simple over–temperature shutdown
circuit using the NCT22 sensor. As shown, the NCT22
outputs are driven active when the heatsink temperature
equals the trip point temperature set by R
SET
. When this
happens, the crowbar circuit is activated, causing the supply
output to fold back to zero. The NCT22 outputs remain
active until the heatsink temperature falls a minimum of 2°C
(built–in hysteresis) below the trip point temperature, at
which time the device again allows normal supply operation.

The NCT22/24 can be used to control a DC fan as shown
in Figure 5. The fan turns on when the sensed temperature
rises above T

and remains on until the temperature falls
below T
