NTC Thermistor Application Notes

What is an NTC Thermistor?

NTC Thermistors are temperature-sensing elements made of semiconductor material that has been sintered in order to display large changes in resistance in proportion to small changes in temperature. NTC Thermistor resistance can be measured by using a small and measured direct current, or dc, passed through the NTC thermistor in order to measure the voltage drop produced. NTC Thermistors are an incredibly accurate category of temperature sensors.

In general, NTC thermistors are composed of sintered ceramics consisting of highly sensitive material with consistently reproducible properties of resistance versus temperature.  more info>>

Steinhart & Hart Equation Predict the resistance of an NTC Thermistor at a given temperature - Most accurate method
Calculating the Temperature Coefficient

NTC Thermistors are a good alternative to semiconductor circuitry for temperature related problems.

Accurate Temperature Measurements Guidelines for achieving the most accurate measurements using an NTC Thermistor
Temperature Measurement

One of the easiest ways to measure temperature with an NTC Thermistor is to use a Wheatstone Bridge.

Power Dissipation for Temperature Detection Circuits

Account for power dissipation in an NTC Thermistor temperature detection circuit.

Temperature Compensation Circuits

An NTC Thermistor is a common method of compensating for temperature changes in coils and solenoids.
