8 bit ADC with 3.3 refReading thermistor voltage from micro controller ...I have 8bit ADC ..ref voltage 3.3v so rosolation 12.89mV...thermistor temp range 0-50C ... i took 1C =1step is im doing right?

I like that!hi,
Which type of thermistor are you considering.?
Most common types do not have a linear resistance versus temperature response.
If you had a linear temperature sensor and you required to it work over a 0C thru +50Cdeg range.
To give the maximum possible resolution, the sensor signal would need to be amplified.
If the signal was amplified to give 3.22V for a temperature of 50Cdeg and 0Cdeg equals zero volts, using a 8 bit ADC would give 0 thru 250 Counts.
ie: [3.22/3.3] *256 =250 counts.
This would give a temperature resolution of 0.2Cdeg/bit.
