PRODUCTION DATA
Thermistors, especially the negative temperature-coefficient (NTC) thermistors are used to measure LED temperature in front lights and rear lights of automotive vehicles. NTCs have a nonlinear temperature response. The AFEx3902-Q1 provide a three-segment, piecewise, linear method of linearizing the NTC before feeding the value to thermal foldback computation. Figure 7-5 depicts how a NTC curve is linearized.
Table 7-5 lists the SRAM locations for the linearization coordinates.
