Introduction
An instrumentation amplifier is a type of differential amplifier that has been outfitted with input buffers, which eliminate the need for input impedance matching and thus make the amplifier particularly suitable for use in measurement and test equipment. The temperature controller using the instrumentation amplifier is the one of its application that has the main objective of controlling, protecting and adjusting the temperature.

LITERATURE REVIEW

A simple temperature control circuit can be constructed using thermistor in the transducer bridge. the bridge is set balanced for a particular reference temperature. For any change in this temperature, the instrumentation amplifier produces the output voltage. Now this voltage can be used to drive the relays which in turn controls the ON-OFF of the heating unit, to control the temperature. Said by U.A Bakshi

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
During to the research, we have done the observation in different equipments such computer, automatic chargers,.. Also we have consulted on the internet for further information about how the temperature can be controlled using the instrumentation Amplifier. Finally we have referred to the class explanations and notes.

DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION

a. Design
Components used: Resistors (6): 4.7K Led (1) Relay (1) LM324 (1) Variable resistor (1): 50K Transistor NPN (1) Baser (1) Thermistor (1) Motherboard Power supply of 12V

b. Implementation
During the implementation the thermistor works as the temperature sensor. According to the adjustment of the variable resistor when temperature set achieved the comparator send the signal that s read to get the output. At the output side we put the LED that emits the light.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION As the results from our implemention the LED switched ON by the transistor when the thermistor get the temperature we have set for our case it is set at 50 degrees. The Temperature controller using instrumentation amplifier it is an application used in different electronic devices because it is cheaper, easy to implement and portable. It can be applied in the air conditioners, cooking machines, automatic controllers,

CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION From the implementation we did and the reading we made from internet, we realized that the reference condition is generally established by the designer and depends on the thermistor and variable resistor characteristics, the level of the temperature t be controlled and the desired application. We recommend the students to spend more time In practicing the experiments and consulting both internet and books for further information. because the practice makes performance.
