Thermistors measure temperature, have a nonlinear output and are valued for a limited
range. So when a thermistor is manufactured, the manufacturer supplies a resistance vs.
temperature curve. An accurate representation of the curve is generally given by
= a, +a, In(R) + a¸ {In(R)}* +a, {In(R)}'
T
where T is temperature in Kelvin, R is resistance in ohms, and a,,a,a,,a, are constants of
the calibration curve.
