3.4.6 Thermistor Multiplexer

Figure 3-20 shows the thermistor multiplexer control signals A and B repeat in sequence 00-10-01-11 automatically. This design takes 320ms to measure all 17 thermistors temperature.

High accuracy and precision temperature measurements can be easily achieved at low cost with TMP6x linear thermistors using the steps outlined in the How to Achieve ±1°C Accuracy or Better Across Temperature With Low-Cost TMP6x Linear Thermistors application note.

Figure 3-21 shows the temperature measurement accuracy across 20°C to 125°C. The test is done by soaking the thermistor in an oil bath and bringing the BMU to room temperature. The temperature measurement error is below 1°C when the temperature is above –20°C and 2.5°C when the temperature is below –20°C.
