11description: |
12  Thermistors with negative temperature coefficient (NTC) are resistors that
13  vary in resistance in an often non-linear way in relation to temperature.
14  The negative temperature coefficient means that the resistance decreases
15  as the temperature rises. Since the relationship between resistance and
16  temperature is non-linear, software drivers most often need to use a look
17  up table and interpolation to get from resistance to temperature.
18
19  When used in practice, a thermistor is often connected between ground, a
20  pull-up resistor or/and a pull-down resistor and a fixed voltage like this:
21
22      + e.g. 5V = pull-up voltage (puv)
23      |
24     +-+
25     | |
26     | | Pull-up resistor
27     | | (puo)
28     +-+

36     +-+                        |
37      |-------------------------o
38     +-+                        ^
39     | |                        |
40     | | Pull-down resistor     | Measured voltage (mv)
41     | | (pdo)                  | "connected positive"
42     +-+                        |
43      |                         |
44      |                         v
45      + GND                     GND
46
47  The arrangements of where we measure the voltage over the thermistor are
48  called "connected ground" and "connected positive" and shall be understood as
49  the cases when either pull-up or pull-down resistance is zero.
50
51  If the pull-up resistance is 0 one end of the thermistor is connected to the
52  positive voltage and we get the thermistor on top of a pull-down resistor
53  and we take the measure between the thermistor and the pull-down resistor.
54
55  Conversely if the pull-down resistance is zero, one end of the thermistor is
56  connected to ground and we get the thermistor under the pull-up resistor
57  and we take the measure between the pull-up resistor and the thermistor.
58
59  We can use both pull-up and pull-down resistors at the same time, and then
60  the figure illustrates where the voltage will be measured for the "connected
61  ground" and "connected positive" cases.
