Temperature sensors are widely used in electronic equipment to

display the temperature. You can see the digital clock displaying the
room temperature value. It is due to the temperature sensor
embedded in it. In this project, I will show you how to design a
Digital Temperature Sensor Circuit. In the process, I will explain two
circuits: one using 8051 Microcontroller and the other using
ATmega8 Microcontroller.

The main principle of this circuit is to take the analog temperature

values, convert them into digital values and display the digital
temperature value om LCD or 7-Segment Display.

Here, 8051 and ATmega8 microcontrollers are used. The ATmega8

has inbuilt analog to digital converter with six multiplexed channels
of 10-bit resolution. This reduces interfacing of external analog to
digital converter IC. The analog temperature value is directly applied
to input ADC channels of microcontroller. Successive approximation
method is used for Analog to digital conversion internally.

After making all the connections and burning the code onto the
8051 Microcontroller, turn ON the power supply. The LM35
Temperature Sensor provides the Analog Temperature Data to
ADC0804, which it converts into Digital Values and sends to 8051.

Upon receiving the digital values, the 8051 Microcontroller performs

a small calculation and then displays the temperature on the LCD.

Circuit diagram:-

Initially power the circuit. The micro controller continuously checks

for input at ADC channel. It converts the analog temperature to
digital value and is displayed on the seven segments. Increment or
decrement the temperature value by clicking on the arrow marks
below the display in temperature sensor. Whenever there is a
change, the ADC channel converts the input and displays on the
seven segment. The temperature value displayed is twice the original
value .This is because of variations in the step size. So, before
displaying the value divide the value by 2 and subtract 1 from it to
display accurate value.

The Digital Temperature Sensors are used to measure and monitor

the temperature present in surrounding areas.
