NAME

       thermistor - compute temperature indicated by a thermistor

SYNOPSIS

       thermistor

DESCRIPTION

       This  component  computes  the  temperature indicated by a thermistor in a voltage-divider
       ladder.  It uses the Beta-parameter variant  of  the  Steinhart-Hart  equation,  described
       here:

PINS

       thermistor.N.t0-c float in
              Reference temperature of the thermistor, in degrees Celsius (typically 25 C).  This
              must be set before the component  can  compute  the  thermistor  temperature.   The
              reference temperature information is supplied by the thermistor manufacturer.

       thermistor.N.r0 float in
              Resistance of the thermistor at the reference temperature.  This must be set before
              the component can compute the thermistor  temperature.   The  reference  resistance
              information is supplied by the thermistor manufacturer.

       thermistor.N.beta float in
              Beta  parameter  of  the  thermistor  (sometimes  just called B).  This must be set
              before the component can compute the thermistor temperature.  The Beta parameter is
              supplied by the thermistor manufacturer.

       thermistor.N.r-other float in
              Resistance  of  the other resistor in the voltage-divider ladder.  This must be set
              before the component can compute the thermistor temperature.

       thermistor.N.v-total float in
              Supply voltage of the voltage-divider ladder.

       thermistor.N.v-thermistor float in
              Voltage drop across the termistor.

       thermistor.N.temperature-c float out
              Temperature sensed by the thermistor, in degrees Celsius.

       thermistor.N.temperature-k float out
              Temperature sensed by the thermistor, in Kelvins.

       thermistor.N.temperature-f float out
              Temperature sensed by the thermistor, in degrees Fahrenheit.

       thermistor.N.resistance float out
              Computed resistance of the thermistor.
