    Blog #6: Characterising Thermistors – Is Self-Heating a Problem or Not?

    Gough Lui

    In several previous blogs, I explored the issues with making measurements using thermistors in a theoretical sense. While this is indeed a worthwhile thought-experiment, what happens when the rubber hits the road, so to speak? Is self-heating a real ...

    In my last posting, I delved into the issues revolving around rounding errors, thermistor tolerances and trying to fit a more accurate fifth-degree model to the data. While that was a very theoretical exploration, this post will be more concerned wit...

    In the last post, I may have alarmed some people with my derivations of the Steinhart-Hart coefficients which seemed to show a significant amount of error. Indeed, you were right to be alarmed – the typical performance of the Steinhart-Hart mod...

    Before I get right into experimentation, it’s important to go over a few basics and perhaps not-so-basics. Rather than labour this discussion (as everyone’s probably going to cover this in some way), I’ll cover the basic 101s in a d...
