(1) t 0 : standard temperature 298.15 k(25 c) r 0 : resistance at t 0 k b: thermistor constant (k) so called temperature coefficient ( a ) is generally indicated as follows: a = .................................................................... (2) but a is not adequate for use as a constant, because a change by temperature is considerably large, so b value is used as a coef? cient of thermistor. 1 t 1 t 0 ( )[ ] b t 2 major characteristics of ntc thermistors the relation between resistance and temperature of a thermistor is linear as shown in fig. 2, in which resistance is shown in vertical direction in a logarithmic scale and reciprocal of absolute temperature in horizontal direction. bias degrees in these straight lines are determined according to the b value expressed by the following equation. b = .................................................. (3) r 1 : resistance at t 1 k r 2 : resistance at t 2 k when calculated from this equation, b value is a variable in a strict sense, and the resistance is expressed by the following equation: r = at C c exp d/t ........................................................ (4) in (4), c is a small positive or negative constant and quite negligible except use in precision temperature-measuring device, thereby the b value is, in practical usage, to be considered as a constant. in fig. 1, the relation between the resistance ratio r t /r 25 (r 25 : resistance at 25 c, r t : resistance at t c) and b value is shown with t c, in the horizontal direction. 1 t 1 1 t 2 k nr 1 C k nr 2 sep. 2010 00 2
