Abstrakt: Thermistors are widely used in temperature measurement due to their fast response, high accuracy, and low cost. However, due to the nonlinear resistance-temperature relationship, there is a need for linearisation in order to design a signal conditioning circuit for accurate temperature measurement. Thus, this paper presents the design of a thermistor signal conditioning circuit based on Wheatstone Bridge. An experiment was conducted on an NTC thermistor to acquire the resistance response to temperature change between 25 °C to 65° C which was in turn used for the model linearization. The obtained parameters from the linearized model are used to design the Wheatstone bridge signal conditioning circuit. The designed measurement system performance evaluation demonstrated a high degree of accuracy with only 1.1% non-linearity within the specified temperature range. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
