Example: Single-Ended Thermistor
The simplest thermistor configuration is the single-ended
configuration. Thermistors using this configuration share
a common ground (COM) between all sensors and are
each tied to a unique sense resistor (R
SENSE
sharing is
not allowed for single-ended thermistors). Single-ended
thermistors follow the convention shown in Figure 22.
Terminal 1 ties to ground (COM) and terminal 2 ties to
CH
THERM
and the sense resistor. Channel assignment
data (see Table 50) is mapped to memory locations cor-
responding to CH
THERM
.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Sense resistor channel assignments follow the general
convention shown in Figure 23. The sense resistor is tied
between CH
RSENSE
and CH
RSENSE-1
, where CH
RSENSE
is tied
to the 2nd terminal of the thermistor. Channel assignment
data (see Table 33) is mapped into the memory location
corresponding to CH
RSENSE
.
