INTRODUCTION
This application note shows two designs that use a
precise, negative temperature coefficient (NTC)
thermistor for temperature measurement. The
thermistor is placed in a resistive divider to linearize the
temperature-to-voltage conversion. The voltage is
processed in the analog domain by the MCP6SX2
(MCP6S22 or MCP6S92) Programmable Gain
Amplifier (PGA) before conversion to the digital
domain.
The first design is simpler and has a smaller
temperature range. The second design changes the
PGA’s gain to achieve a greater temperature range.
Both designs use a piece-wise linear interpolation table
to correct the remaining non-linearity and convert
voltage into degrees Celsius. The design trade-offs
between these approaches will be discussed.
These circuits take advantage of the MCP6SX2’s input
multiplexer (MUX). The PGA is used to process
multiple signals and/or temperatures and digitally sets
the most appropriate gain for each input. This reduces
overall design complexity and allows for temperature
correction of other sensors.
THERMISTOR
The thermistor used in the application note is part
number 2322 640 55103 from BC Components
®; see
Figure 1 and Figure 2. This part is selected for its
accuracy and cost. The thermistor’s temperature is
TTH, while the rest of the circuit is at ambient
temperature TA.
FIGURE 1: Thermistor Response.
Key specifications include [1, 2]:
• Resistance at +25°C: 10 kΩ ± 1%
• B25/85 tolerance: ±0.75%
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to +125°C
(to +150°C for short periods)
• Maximum power
- 100 mW, TTH = 0°C to +55°C
- 100% de-rated at TTH = -40°C and +85°C
• Thermal dissipation factor: 2.2 mW/°C
• Response time: 1.7 s (in oil)
FIGURE 2: Thermistor Accuracy.
Thermistors with different price and accuracy trade-offs
may also be used in this application. It is simple to
modify the circuits to match the desired accuracy.
CIRCUIT
The circuit shown in Figure 3 is used for both designs
described later. It is implemented on the MCP6SX2
PGA Thermistor PICtail™ Demo Board; see reference
[12].
The resistor RA makes the voltage vs. temperature
response reasonably linear. RB and CB reduce the
noise and act as an anti-aliasing filter for the ADC. The
MCP6SX2 PGA (MCP6S22 [5] or MCP6S92 [6])
buffers the voltage VDIV
. The PGA can be digitally
controlled to change its gain or channel (input).
The PIC16F684 [8] is on the Signal Analysis PICtail™
Daughter Board; see reference [11]. It has an internal
10-bit ADC that converts VOUT to the digital domain. It
can further process VOUT (e.g., averaging) and convert
it to temperature. It communicates with the PGA via the
SPI serial bus.

FIGURE 3: Thermistor PGA Circuit.
The ADC’s voltage reference is powered from the
same voltage as the voltage divider, giving a
ratiometric circuit; errors in VDD will be automatically
corrected at the ADC.
FIRST DESIGN
This design emphasizes simplicity and uses a standard
approach to designing the thermistor circuit. The
traditional op amp is replaced with a PGA so that it can
multiplex multiple inputs.
Analog Design
The first design keeps the PGA at a gain of +1 V/V for
design simplicity. The resistor RA
is set to its nominal
+25°C value (10.0 kΩ) for best performance at room
temperature; this is a very common design choice.
While this is a simpler design, its accuracy is relatively
low, as will be seen. Notice that Figure 4 shows a much
more linear response than Figure 1.
FIGURE 4: Voltage Divider and PGA
Outputs.
Temperatures between +125°C and +150°C can be
included in the design for overtemperature indication
where accuracy is not as important.
The thermistor power dissipation causes a self-heating
temperature error. Calculating the thermistor’s power
dissipation across temperature, and then dividing by
the specified 2.2 mW/°C thermal dissipation factor,
gives the self-heating temperature error shown in
Figure 5. This is a small, consistent error. It is simple to
adjust for this error using the piece-wise linear
interpolation table in firmware.
FIGURE 5: Thermistor Self-heating
Error.
Analog Error Analysis
Figure 6 displays the ADC’s temperature resolution,
while Figure 7 shows the expected worst-case analog
circuit errors. Both plots are based on these
assumptions:
• ADC’s DC Error ≤ ±3.5 LSb
• PGA’s gain error ≤ ±0.1% (G = +1)
• PGA’s input offset error ≤ ±1 mV (including PSRR
and temperature drift)
• Specified thermistor accuracy
This design achieves an ADC temperature resolution of
0.25°C over the -25°C to +73°C temperature range.
The analog circuit accuracy is better than 1.2°C over
the same range. Other temperature ranges will have
different resolutions and accuracies.
