Thermistors are nonlinear transducers, and have found wide application in temperature measurement and control in different fields, but they exhibit a strong nonlinearity of the characteristic, which is of an exponential type. This project investigates the possibility of creating a thermistor-based temperature sensor with frequency and analog outputs and a linearized characteristic on the basis of a 555 timer.
