Hi,

Is there any formula for converting a given resistance of the (Siemens) NTC K164/1K5 into temperature in Celsius? I'm not familiar with components, but I need to use it in software.



You don't give enough information. How precise does your conversion need to be? A simple linear approximation works just fine for some ranges and for some applications. A second order curve handles many others.

For a more precise curve fit, search for the Steinhart-Hart thermistor
equation.

Thank you for this info. Could you tell me what those a, b and c stand for?

Thank you for helping.

Ok, found it..
