1. The document discusses different types of temperature sensors and their characteristics, including thermistors, RTDs, and thermocouples. It focuses on NTC and PTC thermistors.
2. NTC thermistors have a high resistance at low temperatures that decreases rapidly as temperature increases, allowing small temperature changes to be detected precisely from 0.05-1.5°C. PTC thermistors have increasing resistance with temperature and are used for temperature measurement, overcurrent protection, and other applications.
3. RTD sensors measure temperature based on the resistance of metals like platinum, nickel, and copper, which increase in resistance with temperature. Pt100 sensors are a common type of
