■ Thermistors<br />

Thermistors arc also sensors that measure temperature by a predictable<br />

change in resistance as a fun ction of temperature. Thermistors are made of<br />

semiconductor materials. Whereas resistance temperature detectors are low<br />

impedance devices. thennistors are high impedance devices. Thermistors<br />

typically are more sensitive to temperature changes than resistance<br />

temperature detectors but thermistors are not as stable.<br />
