Hello,
We are doing water temperature measurement and control for domestic showers.
A NTC in the water flow is used to measure temperature, and the temperature is measured thus by us:-
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

(Vcc = 5V)
..However, the above is not recommended by Texas Instruments....... they recommend using current sources, like this:-

...please see figure 1 of first page.
Is it really worth it for us to change our method and use the current sources as in the texas application note?
(you can see that other than the current sources, our method is very similar to the Texas method)
