Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors are thermally sensitive semiconductor resistors which show a decrease in resistance as temperature increases. EPCOS brand NTC thermistors are simple, but very sensitive and accurate sensing elements for measuring and control temperature in circuits.
