the change in measured value per unit change in temperature. The higher the temperature coefficient the more sensitive the device is to temperature changes.

The ratio of the speeds of a chemical reaction at two temperatures differing by 10°C. It varies with different materials but is generally near 2 (i.e., the reaction rate doubles for each rise of temperature by 10°C), especially for reactions involving water vapor. This value may be connected with the fact that equilibrium vapor pressure nearly (but not quite) doubles for a rise of temperature by 10°C. The temperature coefficient for bacterial action is also near 2.

The effect of ambient temperature changes upon output voltage regulation, expressed as a percentage change per degree of temperature.
Helpful?           0
The average output voltage change expressed as a percent per degree centigrade of ambient temperature change. This is usually specified for a pre-determined temperature range.

The amount of change of resistance in a material per unit change in temperature.
Helpful?           0
The average percent change in output voltage per degree Centigrade change in ambient temperature over a specified temperature range.
Helpful?           0
The amount of drift, in percent of full scale output, that might result from a 1°C change in ambient temperature.
Helpful?           0
The temperature coefficient is determined by the average percent of change in output voltage per temperature degree change while the input voltage and load levels remain the same.
Helpful?           0
The rate at which a parameter varies versus change in temperature.
Helpful?           0
The change of value or function corresponding with a change in temperature. This is often expressed as a percentage of reading per degree or in PPM (parts per million) per degree.
Helpful?           0
The average percent of change in output voltage per degree change in temperature with load and input voltage held constant.
Helpful?           0
The average percentage variation in the output voltage of a SMPS due to temperature variation (specified as parts per million per degree Centigrade, over a specified temperature range).
Helpful?           0
(1) The ratio of the speeds of a chemical reaction at two temperatures differing by 10°C. (2) A factor relating the response characteristics of a device with changes in the ambient temperature.
Helpful?           0
A factor, which describes the change in a magnetic property with change in temperature. Expressed as percent change per unit of temperature.
Helpful?           0
A change in reading (or sourced value) with a change in temperature. It is expressed as a percentage of reading (or sourced value), plus a number of counts per degree change in temperature.
Helpful?           0
The ratio of a quantity change of an electrical parameter, such as resistance or capacitance, of an electronic component to the original value when temperature changes, expressed in %/ºC or ppm/ºC.
Helpful?           0
A ratio by which the changes in power supply output voltage caused by temperature changes can be calculated. Usually output decreases as ambient temperature rises.
Helpful?           0
A constant specifying the amount of change in the value of a quantity for a given chage in temperature.
Helpful?           0
The amount that the voltage, current, and/or power output of a solar cell changes due to a change in the cell temperature.
Helpful?           0
The temperature coefficient is the relative change of a physical property when the temperature is changed by 1 K (kelvin).
