- Resistance:
- Copper wire resistance has a positive temperature coefficient of 3900ppm/°C; for 100°C, the copper resistance changes 40%.
- Carbon film resistor has a negative temp co of -200ppm/°C and is worse for larger value resistors.
- Metal film/Thin film/Thick film resistor has a temp co of +/-10ppm/°C to +/-100ppm/°C. Testings show that the temp co is valid to -150°C.
- Capacitance:
- C0G or NP0 ceramic capacitors have very good temperature co, +/-30ppm/°C.
- X7R capacitors have +/-15% variation over the range -55°C to +125°C. The capacitance typically peaks at the room temperature and falls off at both ends, but it could have very nonlinear temperature dependence.
- Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have considerable temperature dependence. The capacitance falls off significantly at low temperature because the viscosity of the electrolyte increases.
- Solid tantalum capacitors have much less temperature dependence in comparison with aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
- Inductance:
- Core materials have nonlinear temperature dependence.
- The permeability of a ferrite core is usually maximized around room temperature, but falls off at the extreme temperatures. At -180°C, the inductance can drop as much as 70%.
- The powder core holds up well at the lower temperature.
- Diode:
- Silicon PN junction forward voltage decreases with temperature, usually -2.1mV/°C.
- Silicon PN junction avalanche breakdown voltage increases with temperature.
- High voltage Zener diode is actually avalanche diode. 1N5245 15V Zener has a temp co of +820ppm/°C and 1N5271 100V +1100ppm/°C. MMSZ5245B is tested to -150C and has a fairly constant temp co about 1000ppm/°C over temperature.
- Silicon PN junction Zener voltage decreases with temperature.
- 1N5221 2.4V Zener diode has a temp co of -850ppm/°C.
- At around 5V Zener and avalanche balance out. 1N5231 5.1V Zener has a temp co of +/-300ppm/°C.
- Temperature compensated reference Zener diode can have very low temp co, e.g. 5ppm/°C for 1N829 6.2V. The temperature compensation is achieved with a forward diode in series. At 5.6V, the temp co is about 2 mV/°C, similar to that of the forward diode voltage.
- Schottky junction forward decrease with temperature.
- -1.2mV/°C (ref 1)
- Transistor:
- Bipolar beta
- Beta increases with temperature.
- MOSFET threshold
- Threshold decreases with temperature.
- MOSFET Kp
- Kp decreases with temperature.
- MOSFET breakdown voltage
- Breakdown voltage increases with temperature.
