QTI Engineering compares the two equations typically used to interpolate the resistance vs. temperature characteristic of NTC thermistors: the Beta Equation and the Steinhart-Hart Equation.
Have questions about negative temperature coefficient thermistors? In this white paper, QTI engineer Gregg Lavenuta gives an overview of the general properties and features of NTC thermistors.
This white paper presents two stability tests on T020 and T040 Series thermistors at differing applied bias currents.
This white paper explains how to calculate thermistor drift over time when exposed to temperatures above 100°C, and features the results of testing the QTI T150 line for drift in high-temperature environments.
QTI Engineering gives tips for safe handling and soldering of surface mount thermistors.
A list of coefficients for QTI’s R/T curves, for use with the Steinhart-Hart equation.
This paper gives electrical diagrams to illustrate how to use thermistors in temperature measurement and temperature compensation.
This application note describes the bonding specifications that QTI’s NTC gold-terminated thermistors are rated to.
This guide walks you through creating an analog-digital converter, and includes code to create a resistance/temperature lookup table in BASIC script.
Chip thermistors can sometimes be damaged or lost when the waffle pack containing them is opened or closed. This guide gives tips on how to safely handle the waffle pack and thermistors.
