A device that senses temperature changes by using a resistor with an electrical resistance that falls when temperature rises. 
Over large changes in temperature, calibration is necessary. Over small changes in temperature, if the right semiconductor is used, the resistance of the material is linearly proportional to the temperature. There are many different semiconducting thermistors with a range from about 0.01 kelvin to 2,000 kelvins (−273.14 °C to 1,700 °C){Citatio...

Sensing device which changes its electrical resistance according to temperature. Used in the control system to generate input data on collector and storage temperatures.
Resistor whose resistance changes significantly when its temperature changes. The resistance of a semiconductor thermistor decreases with increase of temperature. As temperature rises, the resistance of the material decreases so that the current passing through a thermistor increases rapidly. They are used to electronically detect changes in temper...
