HTF3000LF - Temperature and Relative Humidity Module
•
For demanding application, temperature coefficient could be compensated over operating temperature range
using following formula:
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
•
Depending on the needed temperature measurement range and associated accuracy, we suggest two methods
to access to the NTC resistance values.
as the material parameter β in reality also depend on temperature. So this approach is suitable for describing a
restricted range around the rated temperature or resistance with sufficient accuracy.
complicated approaches (e.g. the Steinhart-Hart equation) are used or the resistance/temperature relation as
given in tabulation form. The below table has been experimentally determined with utmost accuracy for
temperature increments of 1 degree.
Actual values may also be influenced by inherent self-heating properties of NTCs. Please refer to MEAS-France

The exponential relation only roughly describes the actual characteristic of an NTC thermistor can, however,
For practical applications, a more precise description of the real R/T curve may be required. Either more
