Using t he AT90USBKey
AT90USBKey Hardwar e User Guide 2-11
7627A–AVR–04/06
The NTC thermistor used in AT90USBKey has a resist ance of 100 KΩ ±5% at 25°C (T0)
and a beta-value of 4250 ±3%. By the use of the following equation, the temperature (T)
can be calculated:
Where: RT = Thermistor value (Ω) at T temperature (°Kelvin)
ß = 4250 ±3%
R0 = 10 0 KΩ ±5% at 25 °C
T0 = 298 °K (273 °K + 25°K)
The following cross table also can be used. It is based on the above equation.
