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.
