Another useful equation for the thermistor resistive divider is
developed by combining the equations for R
and solving for temperature. This gives the following relation-
ship.
NTC THERMISTOR PLACEMENT
The termination of the thermistor must be done directly to the
cathode of the Flash LED in order to adequately couple the
heat from the LED into the thermistor. Consequentially, the
noisy environment generated from the switching of the
LM3561's boost converter can introduce noise from GND into
VLEDI/NTC vs Temp (V

the thermistor sensing input. To filter out this noise it is nec-
essary to place a 0.1µF or larger ceramic capacitor close to
the LEDI/NTC pin. The filter capacitor's return must also con-
nect with a low-impedance trace, as close as possible to the
GND pin of the LM3561.
