Depending on the needed temperature measurement range and the
associated accuracy, we suggest two methods to access to the NTC

The actual characteristic of an NTC thermistor can, however, only be
roughly described by the exponential relation, as the material parame-
ter
B
in reality also depends on temperature. So this approach is only
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 rela-
tion as given in tabulated from. These standardized curves have been
experimentally determined with utmost accuracy ; they are aslo availa-
ble for temperature increments of 1 degree.
