Temperature sensor integrated circuits (ICs) have several advantages over negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors. For example, temperature sensor ICs have a much more linear response than ...

As discussed in the first article of this two-part series, there are different challenges involved in designing and optimizing thermistor-based application solutions. These are sensor selection and ...

Temperature is the most widely measured physical variable and designers have many sensing options, among them thermocouples, RTDs, solid-state current-output sensors, and thermistors, to cite just a ...

The first step is a thermistor, a conceptually simple device: resistance varies with temperature (seriously, how much more simple can a sensor get?). You can measure them by tapping the center of a ...

This circuit is a temperature sensing as well as alarm circuit. The circuit raises an alarm whenever the temperature crosses a certain limit. This circuit is a temperature sensing as well as alarm ...

Designers face many chal lenges when placing thermal-sensing components in embedded systems. The first comes in choosing the temperature sensor. It is often not obvious whether a thermistor, resistive ...

Applications requiring accurate temperature control compensation have new candidates for the assignment in the form of negative temperature coefficient thermistors. The highly precise thermistors are ...

Got cold feet about measuring temperature? If you're not sure which type of sensor is the proper choice for the application at hand, you're not alone. Here we review the main categories of temperature ...
