Thermistor basic application circuit b
Description: The basic application circuit for a thermistor is illustrated. Figure (a) depicts a fundamental temperature measurement circuit with limited accuracy, suitable only for applications that do not require high precision. RT represents a positive temperature coefficient thermistor; as the temperature increases, the output voltage (vo) also increases, and conversely, it decreases with a drop in temperature. For a negative temperature coefficient thermistor (RT), the output voltage decreases with an increase in temperature and increases with a decrease in temperature. Figure (b) shows a circuit utilizing a thermistor with a differential operational amplifier, which enhances temperature measurement accuracy. This configuration can detect temperature differences between two points. When the temperature of RT1 is lower than that of RT2, the potential at the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier is higher than at the inverting input, resulting in a low output. Conversely, when the temperature of RT2 is higher, the output behavior is reversed. Figure (c) presents a measurement circuit that employs a logarithmic diode to linearize thermistor characteristics and includes an adjustable gain amplifier (rp), further improving the circuit's performance.
The basic thermistor application circuit serves as an essential tool for temperature measurement in various electronic systems. The circuit's design revolves around the thermistor's resistance change with temperature variations. In applications where precise temperature readings are not critical, such as in basic temperature sensing or environmental monitoring, the circuit provides a satisfactory solution.
In the first configuration (Figure a), the positive temperature coefficient thermistor (RT) operates by exhibiting a decrease in resistance as the temperature rises. This characteristic is leveraged to generate a corresponding increase in output voltage (vo), which can be monitored to ascertain temperature changes. This simple setup is straightforward but limited in its measurement accuracy, making it suitable for less demanding applications.
The second configuration (Figure b) incorporates a differential operational amplifier to enhance the accuracy of temperature measurements. This improvement is particularly useful in applications requiring the detection of temperature differentials between two thermistors (RT1 and RT2). The operational amplifier amplifies the voltage difference between the thermistors, allowing for more precise readings. When RT1 is cooler than RT2, the output reflects this difference, providing a low output voltage. This behavior reverses when RT2 is at a higher temperature, thus enabling the circuit to effectively measure and compare temperatures at different points.
The third configuration (Figure c) introduces a logarithmic diode, which helps linearize the response of the thermistor. This approach compensates for the non-linear characteristics of thermistors, allowing for a more accurate representation of temperature changes. The adjustable gain amplifier (rp) enables further customization of the circuit's response, allowing users to tailor the sensitivity and output range to meet specific application requirements.
Overall, these configurations illustrate the versatility of thermistors in temperature sensing applications, from basic circuits to more sophisticated designs that enhance measurement accuracy and adaptability.
