NTC thermistor is a resistor that is sensitive to temperature. Its resistance value will change with the change of temperature. There is a linear relationship between ambient temperature and resistance value. The current temperature value can be determined by measuring the change of resistance value, this is the working principle of NTC thermistor for temperature measurement. The relationship between resistance value and temperature is shown in the figure below:

In the process of temperature measurement, NTC thermistor is usually connected in series with a precise fixed value resistor, and the ambient temperature is determined by collecting voltage changes at both ends of the resistor. Common temperature measurement circuits are shown in the following figure:

As shown in the figure above, in the circuit on the left, the NTC thermistor is in series with the fixed value resistor R. When the ambient temperature changes, the resistance value of the thermistor changes, resulting in changes of the voltage at its both ends. By collecting the voltage at both ends of the thermistor, the current temperature value can be deduced back, which is also one of the common ways of temperature measurement.

Due to the resistance value of NTC thermistor presents a certain linear relationship with temperature, and this linear relationship is related to B value (material constant of thermistor), therefore, the following formula of resistance value and temperature of NTC thermistor is generally used to obtain RT curve table:

R_t=R_n*EXP(B*(1/T-1/T_n))

R_t is the current resistance value of the thermistor;

R_n is the standard resistance value of the thermistor at T_n room temperature;

The B value is the temperature coefficient of the thermistor;

EXP is the n^th power of e;

T and T_n refer to the K degrees i.e. Degree Kelvin, K degrees = 273.15 (absolute temperature) + degrees Celsius;

T is the current temperature;

T_n is 25℃ at room temperature.
