Example types with thermistors
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
Tungsten filament lamps have long been used as fast-acting thermistors in electronic circuits. (14 words)
These thermistors are usually much larger than measuring type thermistors, and are purposely designed for this application. (17 words)
The resistance of NTC thermistors exhibit a strong negative temperature coefficient, making them useful for measuring temperatures. (17 words)
In fact, Neil A Downie showed how you can use the effect as a simple latch/memory circuit, the effect being enhanced by using two PTC thermistors in series, with thermistor A cool, thermistor B hot, or vice versa. (39 words)
The temperature response is also different; RTDs are useful over larger temperature ranges, while thermistors typically achieve a greater precision within a limited temperature range, typically −90°C to 130°C. (31 words)
Resistors that are not thermistors are designed to have a as close to 0 as possible, so that their resistance remains nearly constant over a wide temperature range. (28 words)

In fact, Neil A Downie showed how you can use the effect as a simple latch/memory circuit, the effect being enhanced by using two PTC thermistors in series, with thermistor A cool, thermistor B hot, or vice versa.
PTC thermistors 'latch' into a hot / low resistance state: once hot, they stay in that low resistance state, until cooled.
Resistors that are not thermistors are designed to have a as close to 0 as possible, so that their resistance remains nearly constant over a wide temperature range.
The resistance of NTC thermistors exhibit a strong negative temperature coefficient, making them useful for measuring temperatures.
Thermistors are of two opposite fundamental types: *With NTC, resistance Decreases with temperature to protect against inrush overvoltage conditions.
The temperature response is also different; RTDs are useful over larger temperature ranges, while thermistors typically achieve a greater precision within a limited temperature range, typically −90°C to 130°C.
