Abstract: A calibrated temperature sensor (400) including a thermistor (410) having a non-linear resistance-temperature response, at least one parallel resistor (422) connected in parallel with the thermistor, optionally a second parallel resistor (420) connected in parallel with the thermistor (410) and in series with the first parallel resistor (422), and a serial resistor (424) serially connected to each of the thermistor (410) and parallel resistor(s) (420, 422). The parallel resistor(s) is adapted to linearize the resistance-temperature response (511) and to flatten the resistance-temperature response to a predetermined slope (521). The serial resistor is adapted to increase the resistance-temperature response to a predetermined bias (531).
