Two-way B-equation conversion between temperature and resistance, plus reverse calculation from a pull-up + ADC reading, with sensitivity and ADC resolution.
Key points
NTC Thermistor Temperature Calculator: Two-way B-equation conversion between temperature and resistance, plus reverse calculation from a pull-up + ADC reading, with sensitivity and ADC resolution. Formula: R = R25·e^{B(1/T − 1/T25)} | 1/T = 1/T25 + ln(R/R25)/B. Enter parameters on the DD-CAT IDE online tool page to get results instantly, with a calculation-model diagram that updates with the inputs. The single-point B model is good to about ±1°C over 0–100°C; use the three-coefficient Steinhart-Hart model or a lookup table for precision work. Choosing a pull-up of 1/3 to 1× R25 puts the working temperature range on the steepest part of the divider curve.
