Product details
Overview
TMP6331DYAT 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 space-constrained motor control and charger systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMP6331DYAT datasheet, TMP6331DYAT pinout, TMP6331DYAT application, or TMP6331DYAT equivalent, key selection considerations include its linear R–T curve eliminating external linearization circuitry, ratiometric voltage-divider compatibility with ADC reference sharing, ±0.2% TCR tolerance across temperature, self-heating immunity due to low thermal mass, and fail-safe PTC behavior under overvoltage conditions.
Technical Context
The TMP6331DYAT operates as a two-terminal passive resistive sensor whose resistance increases linearly with temperature. Its PTC behavior arises from controlled silicon doping and active-area geometry, yielding stable 6400 ppm/°C TCR at 25 °C with ±0.2% tolerance across –40 °C to 125 °C. Unlike NTC thermistors, it requires no parallel linearization resistors or midpoint calibration.
It functions exclusively in a bias-dependent mode: resistance measurement relies on either a precision current source (e.g., 40 µA) or a voltage divider with 100-kΩ bias resistor. Output voltage VTEMP = IBIAS × RTMP6331DYAT or VTEMP = VBIAS × RTMP6331DYAT/(RBIAS + RTMP6331DYAT), and must be digitized via ADC for temperature derivation using TI's Thermistor Design Tool-generated R–T tables or polynomials.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| R₂₅ | 100 kΩ at 25 °C - defines baseline resistance for all temperature calculations and enables direct comparison with 100-kΩ bias networks. |
| Resistance Tolerance | ±1% over 0 °C to 70 °C - reduces system-level calibration burden and supports single-point factory trim. |
| TCR at 25 °C | +6400 ppm/°C - ensures predictable, uniform resistance change per degree, simplifying polynomial fitting and lookup table design. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +150 °C (SOT-5X3/DYA package) - supports under-hood automotive, industrial motor, and high-temp charger applications. |
| Thermal Response Time | 0.6 s (63% step in stirred liquid) - enables rapid detection of thermal transients in real-time protection circuits. |
| Max Bias Voltage | 5.5 V - sets upper limit for voltage-divider supply rails without risking absolute maximum stress. |
| Max Sense Current | 40 µA - constrains self-heating to <0.22 mW, preserving measurement accuracy in low-power systems. |
Pinout & Package
The TMP6331DYAT is housed in a 2-pin SOT-5X3 (DYA) package measuring 0.80 mm × 1.20 mm, optimized for 0603 footprint compatibility and high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (–) | Thermistor negative terminal | Must be held at lower voltage potential than Pin 2; reverse bias may cause irreversible damage or parametric shift. |
| 2 (+) | Thermistor positive terminal | Connected to higher voltage node in bias network; polarity-sensitive operation ensures correct PTC behavior and fail-safe response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Linear PTC resistance curve | Eliminates need for external linearization resistors or complex NTC lookup tables - reduces BOM count and firmware memory overhead. |
| Built-in fail-safe behavior | Self-limiting resistance rise during short-to-supply events prevents thermal runaway - critical for unattended motor or battery charger protection. |
| Ratiometric voltage-divider compatibility | Enables VBIAS = VREF configuration where supply tolerance cancels out - achieves ±0.5 °C accuracy without precision voltage references. |
| Low long-term drift | 0.3% typical drift after 1000 hours at 150 °C - ensures stable calibration over product lifetime in industrial environments. |
| Fast thermal response | 0.6 s time constant in liquid - allows real-time thermal shutdown in power converters before catastrophic failure occurs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear thermistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TMP6331DEC | Same electrical specs but in 0402-compatible X1SON (DEC) package (0.60 mm × 1.00 mm); max operating temp limited to +125 °C. | Better suited for ultra-compact consumer electronics where board space is constrained and ambient temps stay below 125 °C. | Select TMP6331DEC when footprint size is prioritized over extended temperature range; not suitable for under-hood or high-temp industrial use. |
| TMP6431DYAT | 47-kΩ R₂₅ (vs. 100-kΩ), identical TCR, package, and temp range; different bias network scaling required. | Optimized for lower-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3-V ADCs) where 100-kΩ causes excessive VTEMP swing or current sourcing limitations. | Choose TMP6431DYAT when existing 47-kΩ bias networks exist or when lower full-scale voltage output improves SNR in low-voltage signal chains. |
Compared with TMP6331DEC and TMP6431DYAT, the TMP6331DYAT uniquely balances 100-kΩ baseline resistance for standard bias networks, +150 °C operation for harsh environments, and SOT-5X3 mechanical robustness - making it the optimal choice for industrial motor drives and high-power chargers requiring both precision and reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the TMP6331DYAT?
The TMP6331DYAT has a maximum operating temperature of +150 °C when packaged in the SOT-5X3 (DYA) form factor. This rating is validated per TI's SNIS211D datasheet Revision D and applies specifically to the DYA variant - the X1SON (DEC) version is rated only to +125 °C. Operation beyond +150 °C risks permanent parametric shift or junction failure.
Does the TMP6331DYAT require external linearization circuitry?
No, the TMP6331DYAT 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 ±0.2% TCR tolerance. This eliminates the need for parallel resistors or complex NTC lookup tables - enabling direct use with simple voltage dividers or current sources and reducing firmware complexity in the host microcontroller.
How is the TMP6331DYAT protected against short-circuit failures?
The TMP6331DYAT incorporates built-in fail-safe behavior: during a short-to-supply event, rising current causes self-heating, which - due to its positive temperature coefficient - increases resistance and inherently limits further current flow. This negative feedback loop prevents thermal runaway, unlike NTC thermistors that decrease resistance under self-heating and accelerate failure. This feature is documented in Section 8.3.4 of the SNIS211D datasheet.
What bias conditions are recommended for optimal accuracy with the TMP6331DYAT?
TI recommends either a 40-µA precision current source or a 100-kΩ bias resistor in a voltage-divider configuration with VBIAS tied to the ADC reference voltage. The current-source method yields up to 40 mV/°C sensitivity and full ADC code utilization; the ratiometric voltage-divider cancels VBIAS tolerance errors. Both methods are validated in Section 9.2.1 of the TMP6331DYAT datasheet and require use of TI's Thermistor Design Tool for R–T table generation.
Can the TMP6331DYAT be used in automotive applications?
The standard TMP6331DYAT is catalog-grade and not AEC-Q200 qualified. For automotive use, TI offers the TMP6331DYAQ1 variant - an Automotive Grade-0 part rated for –40 °C to +150 °C and qualified to AEC-Q200. The TMP6331DYAT itself lacks automotive qualification documentation and should not be deployed in safety-critical vehicle subsystems without additional validation and derating.
