NTC Trip Point Error
When a 1% resistor is used for RHOT, the major error
in the 40°C trip point is determined by the tolerance
of the NTC thermistor. A typical 100k NTC thermistor
has ±10% tolerance. By looking up the temperature
coefficient of the thermistor at 40°C, the tolerance error
can be calculated in degrees centigrade. Consider the
Vishay NTHS0603N01N1003J thermistor, which has a
temperature coefficient of –4%/°C at 40°C. Dividing the
tolerance by the temperature coefficient, ±5%/(4%/°C) =
±1.25°C, gives the temperature error of the hot trip point.
The cold trip point error depends on the tolerance of the
NTC thermistor and the degree to which the ratio of its
value at 0°C and its value at 40°C varies from 6.14 to 1.
Therefore, the cold trip point error can be calculated using
the tolerance, TOL, the temperature coefficient of the
thermistor at 0°C, TC (in %/°C), the value of the thermistor
at 0°C, RCOLD, and the value of the thermistor at 40°C,
RHOT. The formula is:

For example, the Vishay NTHS0603N01N1003J thermistor
with a tolerance of ±5%, TC of –5%/°C and RCOLD/RHOT
of 6.13, has a cold trip point error of:
