But it was promptly converting both to millivolts before using them to calculate the thermistor resistance. That conversion unnecessarily hurt the precision of the calculation. For example, take the ncpXXwb473 connected to 5000 mV and pulled down through a 47000 ohm resistor. At 25 C, the resistance of the thermistor is 47000 ohms. The measured voltage will be 2500 mV. If we measure instead 2501 mV, then the calculated resistance will be 46962 ohms -- a difference of 38 ohms. So the precision of the resistance estimate could be increased by 38X by doing the calculations in microvolts.
