Factors
affecting measured resistance
values of Thermistors:
In
the notes relating
to the use of published
data tables for resistance
versus temperature
of Thermistors and
to the use of the
Steinhart-Hart equation,
reference was made
to "ideal" measurement
conditions for determining
the resistance of
a thermistor. The
following section
discusses factors
that affect the measured
resistance value
of a thermistor.
These factors are
associated with thermistor
properties or characteristics
that are the basis
of general thermistor
applications.
It
is essential that
developers of thermistor
circuits have an
understanding of
these characteristics
to exploit relevant
thermistor properties
in a particular application
and to minimize the
influence of other
properties that could
adversely affect
thermistor performance
in the application.
