PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The circuit works on the principle of Analog
to Digital conversion. The temperature is
sensed by an analog temperature sensor
(LM35) and this analog value is converted
into a digital value using an ADC
(ADC0804).

The Analog to Digital Converter,

continuously takes the analog signal from
LM35 and converts it into digital values. The
digital output of the ADC0804 is in the form
of 8 – bit binary data and these are also
continuously available.

Now, the microcontroller (AT89C51) will send

this data to the LCD and display it. Since the
ADC is continuously reading the Analog Data
from the LM35 Temperature Sensor and sending
it to the Microcontroller through the Digital
Pins, the temperature will always be updated and
the same is displayed on the LCD.
 COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONS
• 8051 Microcontroller (AT89C51): a powerful microcomputer that provides a highly-flexible and cost-effective solution to many embedded control
applications.

• 8051 Development Board: used to develop and evaluate any 8051 microcontroller-based prototype.

• ADC0804 – ADC IC: an IC(integrated circuit) which converts the input analog voltage to its equivalent digital output.

• 8051 Programmer: is an in-circuit programmer for 8051 controllers. The programmer uses a firmware-only USB driver. It is complete solution for
programming popular 8051 series of microcontrollers with ease.

• LCD Display: display arbitrary images (as in a general-purpose computer display) or fixed images with low information content, which can be displayed or
hidden.

• LM35 – Temperature Sensor: a temperature sensor that outputs an analog signal which is proportional to the instantaneous temperature.

• Connecting Wires: provide a medium to an electrical current so that they can travel from one point on a circuit to another.

• 10KΩ Potentiometer: a type of variable resistor that is used to adjust the resistance in an electrical circuit.
