Abstract:

INTRODUCTION OF THE TOPIC:

Celsius scale digital thermometer displays the ambient temperature through a LCD
display.
.The circuit consists of two sections. One is that which senses the temperature.This is a
temperaure sensor LM35.The other section converts the temperature value into a suitable
number in Celsius scale which is done by the ADC0804.A digital thermometer can be
easily
made by interfacing a temperature sensor LM35 and a analog to digital converter
ADC0804 to
the micro controller AT89C51.The analog temperature sensor LM35 has the advantage
of
providing an output directly proportional to the Celsius temperature, without having the
need to
be calibrated and the 8 bit analog to digital converter ADC0804, uses the successive
approximation conversion technique. This ADC0804 is controlled by the microcontroller
which
processes its output to display the resultant temperature reading.The LM35 IC generates a

10mV variation to its output voltage for every degree Celsius change in temperature. The
Output of the temperature sensor is analog in nature so we use an analog to digital
convertor for
converting the analog input to its equivalent binary output.ADC0804 is a single channel
convertor which converts the analog input upto a range of 5V to an equivalent 8-bit
binary
output. The binary output of ADC is fed parallel to a port of the microcontroller .The
microcontroller reads the input through ADC and displays the corresponding decimal
value on
LCD.
