Steinhart and Hart, Calibration curves for thermistors المعادلة

مدى دقتها
First-order error terms on the curve you enter, added linearly, so the error is a worst case for those tolerances.

The β curve is a two-point fit, so it drifts from the part's real curve away from its pair. Far from 25 °C the B-value tolerance is often the largest single term, and of the tolerances here it is the only one a calibration at 25 °C leaves.

Circuit

المبدأ

An NTC thermistor's resistance falls steeply as it warms. In a divider with a series resistor Rs, read by an ADC whose reference is the divider's own supply, each temperature gives a code that does not depend on that supply. This page finds, at every degree of your range, how many degrees one code step is worth, how far the part tolerances and the ADC noise can move the reading, and how much the sensor heats itself.

β model
R(T)=R25 eβ(1T−1T25)R(T) = R_{25}\, e^{\beta\left(\frac{1}{T} - \frac{1}{T_{25}}\right)}
Datasheets define B between 25 °C and a second temperature T2 as ln(R25/RT2)/(1/T25 − 1/T2), so the curve passes through both points and is a fit between them.
Steinhart–Hart
1T=A+Bln⁡R+C (ln⁡R)3\frac{1}{T} = A + B \ln R + C\, (\ln R)^{3}
Steinhart and Hart. R(T) is the root of the cubic in ln R, solved in closed form; C = 0 is solved as linear. Coefficients that make B + 3C(ln R)² ≤ 0 in the range are refused, because R would not fall with T. The coefficients hold only over the range they were fitted to, which this page cannot check.
Divider and code
x=RRs+Rcode=⌊x 2N⌋x = \frac{R}{R_s + R} \qquad \t{code} = \left\lfloor x\, 2^{N} \right\rfloor
With the NTC at the top, x = Rs/(Rs + R). The divider is ratiometric: V = x·Vref. The code rounds down and stops at 2N − 1; an ADC whose first step is at ½ LSB rounds instead.
Resolution
ΔTLSB=(Rs+R)22NRs α Rα=∣dln⁡RdT∣\Delta T_{LSB} = \frac{(R_s + R)^{2}}{2^{N} R_s\, \alpha\, R} \qquad \alpha = \left|\frac{d \ln R}{dT}\right|
One code step, (Vref/2N)/|dV/dT|. For the β model α = β/T²; for Steinhart–Hart α = 1/(T²(B + 3C(ln R)²)). The same at either NTC position.
Best series resistor at mid-range
Rs=R(Tmid)R_s = R(T_{mid})
Rs·R/(Rs + R)² is largest at Rs = R, so this Rs gives the steepest divider at Tmid = (Tmin + Tmax)/2. The page picks the nearest E96 value.
Self-heating
ΔTSH=Vref2 R(Rs+R)2 δ\Delta T_{SH} = \frac{V_{ref}^{2}\, R}{(R_s + R)^{2}\, \delta}
The power is largest where R = Rs. This assumes the divider is powered all the time.

First order, added linearly: a worst case. For the β model the B term is tB·|1/T − 1/T25|·T². After a one-point calibration at 25 °C only the B and noise terms remain.

تفاصيل إضافية

Choosing Rs

The divider is steepest where Rs equals the NTC's resistance, so Rs = R(Tmid) gives the finest steps in the middle of the range, and the ends are coarser. Moving Rs toward one end improves the resolution there and costs some at the other.

Ratiometric reading

With the divider fed from the ADC's own reference, the code depends only on R/Rs, so the reference's tolerance and drift drop out. Vref still sets the self-heating.

Where the error comes from

The R25 and Rs tolerances each shift ln(R/Rs) by a fixed amount, so a one-point calibration at 25 °C removes them. The B-value tolerance grows with distance from 25 °C and stays. The page adds the terms linearly, a worst case.

β is a two-point fit. When your range reaches further outside the pair than the pair is wide, in 1/T, the page marks the answer Unverified. Use the datasheet's R–T table there, or Steinhart–Hart coefficients fitted to it.

Not modelled: the ADC's own gain and offset errors, its input leakage and sampling charge, lead resistance, and the series resistor's drift with temperature, which a calibration at 25 °C does not remove. The dissipation constant on a datasheet is usually for still air.
