Temperature sensing with NTC thermistor circuit

CIRCUIT060002

Overview

This temperature sensing circuit uses a resistor in series with a negative–temperature–coefficient (NTC) thermistor to form a voltage divider, which has the effect of producing an output voltage that is linear over temperature. The circuit uses an op amp in a non–inverting configuration with inverting reference to offset and gain the signal, which helps to utilize the full ADC resolution and increase measurement accuracy.
