I need to design a thermometer that would output +.01v per degree celsius increase. thermistor are not linear and they are a no go. How can I do this? The voltage drop across a diode IS linear with respect to temp, but it's variance needs to be amplified a lot. I do not know if this would work because the entire circuit it's self would be exposed to the temp variances and may effect the voltage offset of an op-amp. Any suggestions?

Analog, TI, maxim, etc sell thermometer-on-a-chip devices that output a voltage relative to the temperature--the most common being in a to-92 package with a .01v/C ouput. the TMP36 seems like it would fit the bill.

They would work great, but they are hard to find.
this guy on ebay wants an arm and a leg for 10 of them!

They cost pennies from the manufacturer.

I need to design a thermometer ...


Yes, what range, application, what other requirements? These all affect the type of sensor used.

25C +/- 5C to measure your lab.
0C to 100C and capable of being wound into a transformer to measure temperature rise.

How about the LM35? Do they still even sell those?

Digikey sells them for about a dollar in single unit quantities... Any decent electronics shop should have them. Even ebay has them if you spend some time looking
