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 ...

Thermistors are one type of temperature sensor used on electronic control systems. Technicians servicing these control systems need to be able to test the operation and accuracy of these sensors. A ...

This post is a peek into the Beta and Steinhart-Hart equations for representing the resistance vs. temperature relationship in NTC thermistors. As defined by IEC 60539, NTC (Negative Temperature ...

I always find it interesting that 3D printers — at least the kind most of us have — are mostly open-loop devices. You tell the head to move four millimeters in the X direction and you assume that the ...

In the classic spice model of an NTC thermistor available on the market now, the temperature is simulated by the embedded TEMP variable. This is ideal for the examination of a circuit’s general ...
