This
kit utilizing EID 4 digit display to show very
accurate temperature (degrees F or C) readings using only few
external components on 2.5 digit display format. One can obtain temperature sensor
reading form different manufacture, good example is the LM34
a solid state temperature transducer that produce 10mV per
degree F. Connecting the sensor to one of the inputs PA or PB (See schematics above). Simply read the voltage via
the ADC (Analog to Digital Conversion) and display it.
The
temperature reading obtains from the LM34 in a form of voltage, 1mV per degree Fahrenheit.
The device (LM34) output is linearly proportional to their
ambient temperature. For example at room temperature 77 degrees
Fahrenheit the output voltage is 770mV DC. According to the
specification (National Semiconductor TM) the device
provide typical accuracy of +/-0.5 degree F at room temperature,
and +/-1.5 degrees Fahrenheit at full operating temperature rang
of -50 to 300F.
The
board is power of 7-24V DC or AC (The Input PWR which can hold up to 36VDC, we recommend not to
exceed 24V). The diodes bridge D1, together with the capacitor C1, will convert input AC voltage to DC
Voltage (See above kit drawing).
The
other side of the diodes drives the voltage regulator U2 (regulator). the regulator converts varying input voltages and
produces a constant regulated output voltage. The regulator LM78L05 produce the necessarily 5V DC required. Adding capacitor C2 in parallel a 0.1MF eliminates any high frequency AC
voltage that could otherwise combine with the output voltage.
See above circuit diagram for the kit.
