Hey ppl.

I have recently been assigned the task of generating a thermistor digital circuit without an AD.


What it will be is a comparator with inputs from (varying PWM) out of a PIC & the input from the thermistor

The comparator will be linked back into the PIC and calculate whether the temperature is higher or lower.




Ive scoured the web but I can't find any schematics for the circuit.

Does anyone know where I could find one relating to tackling the problem similar to this way?


Many Thanks,
Ryan.

Could someone point me in the direction of some useful links

regarding using thermistors with opamps-buffers/comparators and capacitors, please?


I dont know where to start but after scouring the web I dont know where to start. Thank you.

Hi Ryan,

Here is a place to start:
