Micropower_thermometer

Published:2009/7/24 3:10:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-41 The output of this circuit is a current proportional to temperature, which can be used to drive a meter for a direct readout. Alternatively, a resistor or op amp can be used to get a voltage output. The circuit is pulsed at a low duty cycle to reduce power consumption. With the component shown, the duty cycle is about 0.2% with a one-second sample rate. This gives an average current drain of about 25μA, plus the output current. The circuit will operate with a supply of 8.0 to 12.0 V. A small 8. 4-V mercury battery can provide an operating life of about one year. R8 is used to trim the circuit, correct for Zener tolerance, temperature error in the sensor, and resistor tolerance. With the values shown, a 0- to 50-μA output is obtained for a +50 to + 100°F temperature change. Other ranges can be selected using the equations shown in the box on the circuit diagram. The current-source output allows long lines to be driven with no loss of accuracy. National Semiconductor Linear Applications Habdbook, 1991, p. 1229.   (View)

Relative_humidity_sensor

Published:2009/7/24 2:34:00 Author:Jessie

Fig, 13-20 This circuit combines two LTC1043 switched-capacitor building blocks with a capacitive-based humidity transducer (Parametrics #RHS) to provide full signal conditioning for a relative-humidity output. To calibrate, place the sensor in a known 5% relative-humidity environment, and adjust the 10-kΩ 5% RHtrim for a 0.05-V output. Next, place the sensor in a 90% relative-humidity environment and set the 500-Ω 90% RH trim for 900-mV output. Repeat this procedure until both points are fixed. Once calibrated, this circuit is accurate within 2%on the 5 to 90%alative－humidity range．Linear Technology Linear Applications Handbook, 1990.   (View)

OPEN_SHORT_GROUND_ALARM

Published:2009/7/2 23:25:00 Author:May

Pin 6 of CA3094 IC is high for no-alarm condition. When any one sensor line is open, is shorted to other line, or is shorted to ground, output of IC goes low and resulting output current serves for activating alarm system.-E. M.

Cold_junction_compensation_for_the_type_J_thermocouple

Published:2009/7/24 2:19:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-14 This circuit uses an LT1025 and an LT1001 to provide a scaled, cold-junction-compensated output. R6 is a typical value and it might require selection to accommodate the R5 trim range. Alternately, R6 can be re-scaled, and R5 enlarged (with some penalty in trim resolution). Linear Technology Linear Applications Handbook 1990 p. AN28-4.   (View)

Basic_Fahrenheit_temperature_sensor

Published:2009/7/24 1:55:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-1 This simple circuit requires only one three-terminal LM34, and produces an output voltage directly related to temperature. For example, if Vout is 0.72 V, the temperature is 72°F. Accuracy is ±0.4°F. The TO-46 package can be cemented or soldered to the mounting surface. If soldered to a metal surface, the ground pin is at the surface potential. If heat fins are used, thermal response time is speeded up. If soldered to a thermal mass, the reading will be steady despite small changes in temperature.

Remote_temperature_sensor_grounded_sensor

Published:2009/7/24 2:04:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-4 This circuit uses the basic LM34 (Fig. 13-1) where the sensor must be located some distance from the readout circuitry. With the values shown, the range is from +3°F to +100°F. If a 50-kΩ pot is used in place of the 20-kΩ fixed resistance, the gain can be adjusted to accommodate various twisted-pair lengths (between sensor and readout). Note that the LM34 is grounded in this configuration. National semiconductor Linear Applications Handbook 1991 p 1076.   (View)

Indoor_outdoor_thermometer

Published:2009/7/24 2:14:00 Author:Jessie

Pig. 13-10 The indoor and outdoor LM34 outputs are multiplexed through a CD4066 quad bilateral switch and then displayed (one at a time) on a DVM such as Texmate's PM-35X. Temperature range is -50° to +300°F. The LMC555 timer is run as an astable MV at 0.2 Hz so that each temperature is displayed for about 2.5 s. The RC filters at the LM34 outputs compensate for the capacitive loading of the cable. Notice that R1 must be selected to provide 50μA with the available -U supply (see Fig. 13-3). An LMC7660 can be used to provide -VS. National Semiconductor, Linear Applications Handbook, 1991, p. 1078.   (View)

Bar_graph_temperature_display_dot_mode

Published:2009/7/24 2:13:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-9 This circuit combines an LM34 temperature sensor, two LM3914 display drivers, and 20 LEDs to form a temperature display where the temperature is indicated by turn-on of the corresponding LED (from 67 to 86°F). The temperature range can be increased by cascading several LM3419s. The display can be converted from the dot mode to the bar mode, or to flash a bar of LEDs when the temperature sensed reaches a selected limit. This requires a few extra components, as shown on the LM3419 datasheet. Note that the trim values for VA, VB and 1/C are for the temperature range show. UB and VC represent the highest and lowest temperatures, respectively. VA is set for gain of 4 (40 mV/°F instead of the nominal 10 mV/'F provided by the LM34).
