2.4.4 Thermister Input
Connect a thermister and resistor to the analog input connector externally to load the change in the
resistance values of thermistor as analog input values.
Circuit diagram
- Do not connect anything with the 5/6 and 7/8 pins.
- It is recommended to use approx. 2 kΩ as external resistance.
Thermister resistance and digital conversion value
- Use the following formula to convert the thermister resistance and digital conversion value.
- Digital conversion values vary between K0 and K1012.
1012 x R (kΩ)
Thermister resistance (kΩ) = ―――――――― − R (kΩ)
Digital value + 1
Connected thermister
[Example] R = 2.2k
Ω
- Thermisters whose resistance is between 200 and 75kΩ can be used.
Type of thermister (B constant)
Reference of measuring range (°C)
5133K +150 to +300 °C
