LM 35

TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Pin configuration
• LM35 is a basic temperature
sensor that can be used for
experimental purpose .
• It give the readings in centigrade
since its output voltage is linearly
proportional to temperature.
• For 10mv there will be 1 degree
change in temperature.
 Principle of working
• A temperature sensor measures the
hotness or coolness of an object.
• The sensor's working base is the voltage
that's read across the diode.
• The temperature rises whenever the
voltage increases.
• The operating temperature range is from -
55°C to 150°C.

5000mv=1024steps
?(x mv)=reading
x mv=5000*reading/1024

10mv=1 degree C change in temp

Temp=x mv/10
