Product details
Overview
TMP6331DYAR from Texas Instruments is a silicon-based linear positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor in a 0603-compatible SOT-5X3 package, with 100-kΩ nominal resistance at 25 °C (±1% tolerance over 0 °C to 70 °C), 6400 ppm/°C TCR at 25 °C, and operating range from –40 °C to +150 °C. It delivers fast thermal response (0.6 s in stirred liquid), built-in fail-safe behavior during short-circuit events, and 0.3% typical long-term drift - enabling high-accuracy, low-calibration temperature sensing in compact industrial and motor-control systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMP6331DYAR datasheet, TMP6331DYAR pinout, TMP6331DYAR application, or TMP6331DYAR equivalent, key selection considerations include its linear R–T curve eliminating external linearization circuitry, ratiometric voltage-divider compatibility, bias-current–dependent sensitivity control, and dual-package footprint support for layout flexibility across thermal monitoring, compensation, and threshold-detection use cases.
Technical Context
The TMP6331DYAR operates as a two-terminal passive resistive sensor with polarity-sensitive terminals (+ and –), requiring positive bias where the + terminal is at higher potential. Its resistance varies linearly with temperature due to proprietary silicon doping and active-area design, yielding consistent TCR across –40 °C to +150 °C (±0.2% typical TCR tolerance).
It functions exclusively in a single operational mode under recommended conditions (VSNS ≤ 5.5 V, ISNS ≤ 40 µA), with self-heating minimized by low power consumption and small thermal mass. Thermal response is characterized separately for stirred liquid (0.6 s) and still air (3.2 s), and fail-safe behavior arises inherently from PTC physics - increasing resistance under overcurrent to limit dissipation.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear thermistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TMP6331DECR | Same electrical specs, but in 0402-compatible X1SON (DEC) package (0.60 mm × 1.00 mm); 125 °C max operating temp vs. 150 °C | Better suited for ultra-compact consumer electronics where board space is critical and ambient temps stay below 125 °C | Select TMP6331DECR when footprint size is prioritized over extended temperature capability |
| TMP6431DYAR | 47-kΩ R25 (vs. 100-kΩ), identical TCR, package, and temp range; different bias current/voltage scaling for same ADC resolution | Preferred in systems with tighter ADC input range or lower supply voltages where 47-kΩ yields optimal signal swing | Select TMP6431DYAR when existing bias network or ADC full-scale utilization favors ~47-kΩ impedance level |
Compared with TMP6331DECR, TMP6331DYAR trades 0402 footprint compactness for +25 °C operating margin and improved thermal derating headroom; compared with TMP6431DYAR, it provides higher output impedance for reduced noise susceptibility and better compatibility with legacy 100-kΩ reference designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the TMP6331DYAR?
The TMP6331DYAR has a maximum operating temperature of +150 °C when used in the SOT-5X3 (DYA) package. This rating is validated per TI's Recommended Operating Conditions and supported by thermal characterization data including junction-to-ambient resistance (RθJA = 742.9 °C/W) and long-term drift testing at 150 °C for 1000 hours. Operation beyond this limit may accelerate aging or cause irreversible parametric shift.
Does the TMP6331DYAR require external linearization circuitry?
No, the TMP6331DYAR does not require external linearization circuitry. Its silicon-based PTC structure provides a highly linear resistance-vs.-temperature curve across –40 °C to +150 °C, with typical TCR tolerance of ±0.2%. This linearity enables direct use in voltage-divider or current-source bias configurations, and eliminates the need for parallel compensation resistors or multi-point calibration typically required with NTC thermistors.
How is polarity defined on the TMP6331DYAR, and why does it matter?
The TMP6331DYAR has polarized terminals: Pin 1 is (–) and Pin 2 is (+). Correct polarity - with the + terminal at higher voltage potential than the – terminal - is mandatory for proper PTC behavior and built-in fail-safe operation. Reverse bias can cause parametric instability, increased drift, or permanent degradation. The device's fail-safe function relies on controlled resistance rise under overcurrent, which only occurs with correct terminal orientation.
Can the TMP6331DYAR be used with a microcontroller's internal ADC without external components?
Yes, the TMP6331DYAR can interface directly with a microcontroller's internal ADC using a simple voltage-divider configuration (e.g., 100-kΩ bias resistor) or precision current source. For best accuracy, tie the bias voltage (VBIAS) to the ADC's reference voltage to enable ratiometric cancellation of supply tolerance. TI's Thermistor Design Tool generates application-specific R–T tables and C-code for temperature conversion - no external op-amps or dedicated signal-conditioning ICs are needed for basic implementation.
What is the thermal response time of the TMP6331DYAR, and how is it measured?
The TMP6331DYAR has a thermal response time of 0.6 seconds to reach 63% of final resistance value when transitioning from 25 °C to 125 °C in stirred liquid, per JEDEC JESD51-13 test methodology. In still air, the response slows to 3.2 seconds (25 °C to 70 °C). These values reflect the device's low thermal mass and efficient heat transfer through the SOT-5X3 package's exposed pad - critical for detecting rapid thermal transients in motor windings or power semiconductors.
