description: |
Thermistors with negative temperature coefficient (NTC) are resistors that
vary in resistance in an often non-linear way in relation to temperature.
The negative temperature coefficient means that the resistance decreases
as the temperature rises. Since the relationship between resistance and
temperature is non-linear, software drivers most often need to use a look
up table and interpolation to get from resistance to temperature.
When used in practice, a thermistor is often connected between ground, a
pull-up resistor or/and a pull-down resistor and a fixed voltage like this:
+ e.g. 5V = pull-up voltage (puv)
|
+-+
| |
| | Pull-up resistor
| | (puo)
+-+
|-------------------------o
+-+ | ^
| |/ |
| / |
|/| Thermistor | Measured voltage (mv)
/ | | "connected ground"
/| | |
+-+ |
|-------------------------o
+-+ ^
| | |
| | Pull-down resistor | Measured voltage (mv)
| | (pdo) | "connected positive"
+-+ |
| |
| v
+ GND GND
The arrangements of where we measure the voltage over the thermistor are
called "connected ground" and "connected positive" and shall be understood as
the cases when either pull-up or pull-down resistance is zero.
If the pull-up resistance is 0 one end of the thermistor is connected to the
positive voltage and we get the thermistor on top of a pull-down resistor
and we take the measure between the thermistor and the pull-down resistor.
Conversely if the pull-down resistance is zero, one end of the thermistor is
connected to ground and we get the thermistor under the pull-up resistor
and we take the measure between the pull-up resistor and the thermistor.
We can use both pull-up and pull-down resistors at the same time, and then
the figure illustrates where the voltage will be measured for the "connected
ground" and "connected positive" cases.
