APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

PCB trace shunt resistor for low

cost solution.

The figure below shows output characteristics of the

device when using a PCB resistive trace for a low cost

solution in replacement for a conventional shunt

resistor. The graph shows the linear rise in voltage

across the resistor due to the PTC of the material and

demonstrates how this rise in resistance value over

temperature compensates for the NTC of the device.

The figure opposite shows a PCB layout suggestion.

The resistor section is 25mm x 0.25mm giving

approximately 150mΩ using 1oz copper. The data

for the normalised graph was obtained using a 1A

load current and a 100Ω output resistor. An

electronic version of the PCB layout is available at
