FIGURE 5-2:
Circuit.
Generally, the thermistor shown in Figure 5-2 is a non-
linear device with a negative temperature coefficient
(also called an NTC thermistor). In Figure 5-2, R
used to linearize the thermistor temperature response,
while R
coefficient at the V
configuration produces an output voltage delta of 1.4V,
which is well within the range of the V
specification of the TC642. A 100 k NTC thermistor is
selected for this application in order to keep I
minimum.
For the voltage range at V
2.65V, the temperature range of this configuration is
0°C to 50°C. If a different temperature range is required
from this circuit, R
resistance value of the thermistor at the center of this
new temperature range. With this change, R
adjusted according to the formulas below. It is
suggested that a maximum temperature range of 50°C
be used with this circuit due to thermistor linearity
limitations.
The following two equations permit solving for the two
unknown variables, R
regarding thermistors can be found in AN679, “Temper-
ature Sensing Technologies”, and AN685, “Thermistors
in Single Supply Temperature Sensing Circuits”, which
can be downloaded from Microchip’s web site at:
