Lesson 29 Thermistor
Introduction
Thermistors can be divided into two types by temperature coefficient: positive
temperature coefficient (PTC) and negative temperature coefficient (NTC). The typical
feature of a thermistor is sensitive to temperature ā its resistance varies with ambient
temperature changes. For PTC thermistor, when the temperature gets high, its resistance
increases; for NTC thermistor, the case is the opposite. The thermistor we use is an NTC
one.
