4 Supported thermistors from Murata:
5 * Murata NTC Thermistors NCP15WB473, NCP18WB473, NCP21WB473, NCP03WB473,
6 NCP15WL333, NCP03WF104, NCP15XH103
7 Prefixes: 'ncp15wb473', 'ncp18wb473', 'ncp21wb473', 'ncp03wb473',
8 'ncp15wl333', 'ncp03wf104', 'ncp15xh103'

11 Supported thermistors from EPCOS:
12 * EPCOS NTC Thermistors B57330V2103
14 Datasheet: Publicly available at EPCOS
16 Other NTC thermistors can be supported simply by adding compensation
17 tables; e.g., NCP15WL333 support is added by the table ncpXXwl333.

25 The NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor is a simple thermistor
26 that requires users to provide the resistance and lookup the corresponding
27 compensation table to get the temperature input.
29 The NTC driver provides lookup tables with a linear approximation function
30 and four circuit models with an option not to use any of the four models.
32 The four circuit models provided are:
34 $: resister, [TH]: the thermistor
36 1. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_POSITIVE, pullup_ohm > 0
42 +----+-----------------------[read_uV]
48 2. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_POSITIVE, pullup_ohm = 0 (not-connected)
54 +----------------------------[read_uV]
60 3. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_GROUND, pulldown_ohm > 0
66 +----+-----------------------[read_uV]
72 4. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_GROUND, pulldown_ohm = 0 (not-connected)
78 +----------------------------[read_uV]
84 When one of the four circuit models is used, read_uV, pullup_uV, pullup_ohm,
85 pulldown_ohm, and connect should be provided. When none of the four models
86 are suitable or the user can get the resistance directly, the user should
87 provide read_ohm and _not_ provide the others.
91 name the mandatory global attribute, the thermistor name.
93 temp1_type always 4 (thermistor)
96 temp1_input measure the temperature and provide the measured value.
97 (reading this file initiates the reading procedure.)
100 Note that each NTC thermistor has only _one_ thermistor; thus, only temp1 exists.
