Most power-supply regulators, by definition, provide an output voltage that is stable despite variations in line (input voltage), load, and temperature. However, a temperature-dependent output voltage ...

When you need to measure temperature using thermistors, you face the challenge of linearizing their response to get accurate readings. One of the best methods for linearizing a thermistor is the ...

Thermistor-temperature-sensing devices present a design challenge if you intend to use such a device over its entire temperature range. Typically, the thermistor is a high-impedance, resistive device ...

Thermistors are extremely nonlinear devices. Because of the limitations of the mathematical model used, the devices’ ultimate accuracy is hardly ever fully realized due to the extra computational ...

A positive temperature coefficient resistor (PTCR) is a resistor that varies its resistance with its temperature. A resistor that changes its resistance characteristics as a function of its ...

Thermistors are one type of temperature sensor used on electronic control systems. Technicians servicing these control systems need to be able to test the operation and accuracy of these sensors. A ...

As discussed in the first article of this two-part series, there are different challenges involved in designing and optimizing thermistor-based application solutions. These are sensor selection and ...

I always find it interesting that 3D printers — at least the kind most of us have — are mostly open-loop devices. You tell the head to move four millimeters in the X direction and you assume that the ...
