• Typical Temperature Output
Depending on the needed temperature measurement range and associated accuracy, we suggest two methods
to access to the NTC resistance values.
R
T
NTC resistance in Ω at temperature T in K
R
N
NTC resistance in Ω at rated temperature T in K
T, T
N
Temperature in K
β Beta value, material specific constant of NTC
e Base of natural logarithm (e=2.71828)
The exponential relation only roughly describes the actual characteristic of an NTC thermistor can, however,
as the material parameter β in reality also depend on temperature. So this approach is suitable for describing a
restricted range around the rated temperature or resistance with sufficient accuracy.
For practical applications, a more precise description of the real R/T curve may be required. Either more
complicated approaches (e.g. the Steinhart-Hart equation) are used or the resistance/temperature relation as
given in tabulation form. The below table has been experimentally determined with utmost accuracy for
temperature increments of 1 degree.
Actual values may also be influenced by inherent self-heating properties of NTCs. Please refer to MEAS-
France/Humirel Application Note HPC106 “Low power NTC measurement”.
