Old-School Analog Temperature Control Circuits Solved With Modern LTSpice Thermistor Dynamic Models, Part 3

Part 3: Thermistor SPICE Models Make Sense With Older ICs, but What About a Newer One, Such as the LTC1041? It’s with a somewhat provocative title that we begin the third and last installment in this ...

Optimizing thermistor-based temperature sensing systems: System design

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 ...

Thermistors Need No Adjustment Between Sensor And Control Circuit

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 ...

“Linear” PTC Thermistors Overcome NTC Temperature-Sensing Shortcomings

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 ...

Old-School Analog Temperature Control Circuits Solved with Modern LT spice Thermistor Dynamic Models, Part 2

This temperature profile is one of the principal reasons why we need a PID controller, which will be able to very accurately follow the required dwells and slopes, while also avoiding big oscillations ...
