• Design a System that senses the temperature in a

room and displays them on 2, 7-segment displays

Step1: Select the Temperature Sensor

• Sensors for sensing room

temperature are different from the
ones which are used for sensing
atmospheric temperature
• ATS2000A
• Temperature range 32 F – 150 F
• Voltage i/p 5-30V – DC Regulated
• Typical Voltage -12 V DC 1.5 mA
• Four –pin connector
• Wall mountable
• How many –size of room
• 6 sensors

Step 2 : How to interface Sensor to system

• No of analog i/ps- 2
• 8-channel ADC
• Size of ADC
• Resolution of sensor
• 19.6mv /F
• 8-bit
• 0808 – 8 channel, 8-bit ADC
