How to use a Thermistor
How to use a Thermistor
(OP)
Hey can some one give me a quick run down on how to use a thermistor. After some googling, I see that it is common to use the Stienhart-Hart equation. Unfortunately this does not seem to coincide with the info I have. The manufacturer states that the thermistor has a resistivity of 100ohm at 25C and a thermal coefficient of resistance of 2200ppm/C. It is supposed to be linear, but I cant crunch the numbers to match a provided graph.
Someone please fill in the blanks here.

The 'ln' thingies tend to indicate non-linear.
If you need more information, try the Electrical/Electronic Engineering forum, they will be more useful i'm sure if you post the exact manufacturer and model of the device you have.
