CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

A digital thermometer is used to measure the atmospheric temperature.EThe digital

-thermometer can measure temperatures up to 150C with an accuracy of 1C.1 The temperature is read on a 1V full scale-deflection (FSD) moving-coil voltmeter or digital voltmeter. Operational amplifier IC 741 (IC3) provides a constant flow of current through the base-emitter junction of npn transistor BC108 (T1). The voltage across the base-emitter junction of the transistor is proportional to its temperature. The transistor used this way makes a low-cost sensor. You can use silicon diode instead of transistor. The small variation in voltage across the base-emitter junction is amplified by second operational amplifier (IC4), before the temperature is displayed on the meter. Preset VR1 is used to set the zero-reading on the meter and preset VR2 is used to set the range of temperature measurement. Operational amplifiers IC3 and IC4 operate off regulated 5V power supply, which is derived from 3terminal positive voltage regulator IC 7805 (IC1) and negative low-dropout regulator IC 7660 (IC2). The entire circuit works off a 9V battery. Assemble the circuit on a general-purpose PCB and enclose in a small plastic box. Calibrate the thermometer using presets VR1 and VR2.

The MC78XX/LM78XX/MC78XXA series of three terminal positive regulators are available in the TO-220/D-PAK package and with several fixed output voltages, making them useful in a wide range of applications. Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shut down and safe operating area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to .Obtain adjustable voltages and currents.

The term operational amplifier or "op-amp" refers to a class of high-gain DC coupled appliers with two inputs and a single output. The modern integrated circuit version is typeset by the famous 741 op-amp. Some of the general characteristics of the IC version are: _ High gain, on the order of a million _ High input impedance, low output impedance _ Used with split supply, usually +/- 15V _ Used with feedback, with gain determined by the feedback network. The operational amplifier (op-amp) was designed to perform mathematical operations. Although Now superseded by the digital computer, op-amps are a common feature of modern analog electronics. The op-amp is constructed from several transistor stages, which commonly include a differential input Stage, an intermediate-gain stage and a push-pull output stage. The deferential amplifier Consists of a matched pair of bipolar transistors or FETs. The push-pull amplifier transmits a large Current to the load and hence has a small output impedance. The op-amp is a linear amplifier with Vout / Vinp. The DC open-loop voltage gain of a typical op-amp is 103 to 106. The gain is so large that most often feedback is used to obtain a specific transfer function and control the stability. Cheap IC versions of operational appliers are readily available, making their use popular in any analog circuit. The cheap models operate from DC to about 20 kHz, while the high-performance models operate up to 50 MHz. A popular device is the 741 op-amp. It is usually available as an IC in an 8-pin dual, in-line package (DIP).

Figure 3.2:- Circuit for inverting and non-inverting amplifier

3.3 Offset voltage:A practical concern for op-amp performance is voltage offset. That is, effect of having the output voltage something other than zero volts when the two input terminals are shorted together. Remember that operational appliers are deferential appliers above all: they're supposed to amplify the deference in voltage between the two input connections and nothing more. When that input voltage deference is exactly zero volts, we would (ideally) expect to have exactly zero volts present on the output. However, in the real world this rarely happens. Even if the op-amp in question has zero common-mode gain, the output voltage may not be at zero when both inputs are shorted together. This deviation from zero is called offset. A perfect op-amp would output exactly zero volts with both its inputs shorted together and grounded. However, most op-amps of the shelf will drive their outputs to a saturated level, either negative or positive. Offset voltage will tend to introduce slight errors in any op-amp circuit. So how do we compensate for it? There are usually provisions made by the manufacturer to trim the offset of a packaged pomp. Usually, two extra terminals on the op-amp package are reserved for connecting an external potentiometer. These connection points are labeled offset null.

3.4 Input bias current:Inputs on an op-amp have extremely high input impedances. That is, the input currents entering or exiting an op-amp's two input signal connections are extremely small. For most purposes of op-amp circuit analysis, we treat them as though they don't exist at all. We
9

analyze the circuit as though there was absolutely zero current entering or exiting the input connections. This idyllic picture, however, is not entirely true. Op-amps, especially those opamps with bipolar transistor inputs, have to have some amount of current through their input connections in order for their internal circuits to be properly biased. These currents, logically, are called bias currents. Under certain conditions, op-amp bias currents may be problematic. The following circuit illustrates one of those problem conditions: Another way input bias currents may cause trouble is by dropping unwanted voltages across circuit resistances. Take this circuit for example:

Figure 3.3:- Calculation of Bias Current with IC 741

We expect a voltage follower circuit such as the one above to reproduce the input voltage precisely at the output. But what about the resistance in series with the input voltage source? If there is any bias current through the non inverting (+) input at all, it will drop some voltage across Rin, thus making the voltage at the non inverting input unequal to the actual Vin value. Bias currents are usually in the micro amp range, so the voltage drop across Rin won't be very much, unless Rin is very large.

10

3.5 Measurement of input bias current:As mentioned earlier, input bias current is very small in magnitude - so, measuring it directly is not a good idea. However, it can be measured cleverly using the following circuit.

Figure 3.4:- Circuits to measure input bias currents Ib1 and Ib2

Fig. 3.4(a) is just the circuit for an inverting amplifier, with the input grounded. So, the voltage at the inverting input terminal should be ideally zero. But from the circuit above, one can see that the voltage at the inverting input has two contributions - one, Vout reduced by the potential divider made out of Ra and Rb, i.e., Rb Ra+Rb Vout - two, the voltage drop over the R1 if there is a non-zero input bias current owing. Thus, we can write

If Ra = 10 k, Rb = 780 and R1 = 1 M, we get

Input bias current Ib2 can be similarly measured using the circuit in Fig. 3(b), which represents a non-inverting amplifier, with the input grounded through the resistor R2. The voltage at the
11

non-inverting terminal would be Ib2R2, which gets amplified to give Vout. Using the relation for non-inverting gain, one can write

The MAX1044 and ICL7660 is monolithic, CMOS switched-capacitor voltage converters that invert, double, divide, or multiply a positive input voltage. They are pin compatible with the industry-standard ICL7660 and LTC1044. Operation is guaranteed from 1.5V to 10V with no external diode over the full temperature range. They deliver 10mA with a 0.5V output drop. The MAX1044 has a BOOST pin that raises the oscillator frequency above the audio band and reduces external capacitor size requirements. The MAX1044/ICL7660 combines low quiescent current and high efficiency. Oscillator control circuitry and four power MOSFET switches are included on-chip. Applications include generating a -5V supply from a +5V logic supply to power analog circuitry. For applications requiring more power, the MAX660 delivers up to 100mA with a voltage drop of less than 0.65V.

CHAPTER 5 ZENER DIODE

A zener diode is a special kind of diode which allows current to flow in the forward direction in the same manner as an ideal diode, but will also permit it to flow in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value known as the breakdown voltage, "zener knee voltage" or "zener voltage." The device was named after Clarence Zener, who discovered this electrical property. Many diodes described as "zener" diodes rely instead on avalanche breakdown as the mechanism. Both types are used. Common applications include providing a reference voltage for voltage regulators, or to protect other semiconductor devices from momentary voltage

Figure 5.1:- Zener diode

19

Figure 5.2:- Output characteristics of zener diode

5.1 Operation of Zener Diode:A conventional solid-state diode will not allow significant current if it is reverse-biased below its reverse breakdown voltage. When the reverse bias breakdown voltage is exceeded, a conventional diode is subject to high current due to avalanche breakdown. Unless this current is limited by circuitry, the diode will be permanently damaged due to overheating. A zener diode exhibits almost the same properties, except the device is specially designed so as to have a greatly reduced breakdown voltage, the so-called zener voltage. By contrast with the conventional device, a reverse-biased zener diode will exhibit a controlled breakdown and allow the current to keep the voltage across the zener diode close to the zener breakdown voltage. For example, a diode with a zener breakdown voltage of 3.2 V will exhibit a voltage drop of very nearly 3.2 V across a wide range of reverse currents. The zener diode is therefore ideal for applications such as the generation of a reference voltage (e.g. for an amplifier stage), or as a voltage stabilizer for low- applications. Current another mechanism that produces a similar effect is the avalanche effect as in the avalanche diode. The two types of diode are in fact constructed the same way and both effects are present in diodes of this type. In silicon diodes up to about 5.6 volts, the zener effect is the predominant effect and shows a marked negative temperature coefficient. Above 5.6 volts, the avalanche effect becomes predominant and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient. In a 5.6 V diode, the two effects occur
20

together and their temperature coefficients nearly cancel each other out, thus the 5.6 V diode is the component of choice in temperature-critical applications. Modern manufacturing techniques have produced devices with voltages lower than 5.6 V with negligible temperature coefficients, but as higher voltage devices are encountered, the temperature coefficient rises dramatically. A 75 V diode has 10 times the coefficient of a 12 V diode. All such diodes, regardless of breakdown voltage, are usually marketed under the umbrella term of "zener diode".

5.2 Construction of Zener Diode:The zener diode's operation depends on the heavy doping of its p-n junction. The depletion region formed in the diode is very thin (<0.000001 m)and the electric field is consequently very high (about 500000V/m) even for a small reverse bias voltage of about 5V, allowing electrons to tunnel from the valence band of the p-type material to the conduction band of the n-type material. In the atomic scale, this tunneling corresponds to the transport of valence band electrons into the empty conduction band states; as a result of the reduced barrier between these bands and high electric fields that are induced due to the relatively high levels of doping on both sides. The breakdown voltage can be controlled quite accurately in the doping process. While tolerances within 0.05% are available, the most widely used tolerances are 5% and 10%. Breakdown voltage for commonly available zener diodes can vary widely from 1.2 volts to 200 volts. In the case of a large forward bias (current in the direction of the arrow), the diode exhibits a voltage drop due to its junction built-in voltage and internal resistance. The amount of the voltage drop depends on the semiconductor material and the doping concentrations.

5.3 Uses of Zener Diode:Zener diodes are widely used as voltage references and as shunt regulators to regulate the voltage across small circuits. When connected in parallel with a variable voltage source so that it is reverse biased, a zener diode conducts when the voltage reaches the diode's reverse

21

breakdown voltage. From that point on, the relatively low impedance of the diode keeps the voltage across the diode at that value.

Figure 5.3:- Symbol of Zener Diode

Figure 5.4:- Circuit Symbol of Zener Diode In this circuit, a typical voltage reference or regulator, an input voltage, UIN, is regulated down to a stable output voltage UOUT. The breakdown voltage of diode D is stable over a wide current range and holds UOUT relatively constant even though the input voltage may fluctuate over a fairly wide range. Because of the low impedance of the diode when operated like this, resistor R is used to limit current through the circuit.

In the case of this simple reference, the current flowing in the diode is determined using Ohm's law and the known voltage drop across the resistor R. IDiode = (UIN - UOUT) / R The value of R must satisfy two conditions:
1.

R must be small enough that the current through D keeps D in reverse

breakdown. The value of this current is given in the data sheet for D. For example,
22

the common BZX79C5V6 device, a 5.6 V 0.5 W zener diode, has a recommended reverse current of 5 mA. If insufficient current exists through D, then UOUT will be unregulated, and less than the nominal breakdown voltage (this differs to voltage regulator tubes where the output voltage will be higher than nominal and could rise as high as UIN). When calculating R, allowance must be made for any current through the external load, not shown in this diagram, connected across UOUT.
2.

R must be large enough that the current through D does not destroy the device.

If the current through D is ID, its breakdown voltage VB and its maximum power dissipation PMAX, then .

A load may be placed across the diode in this reference circuit, and as long as the zener stays in reverse breakdown, the diode will provide a stable voltage source to the load. Zener diodes in this configuration are often used as stable references for more advanced voltage regulator circuits.

CONCLUSION
27

A sensor based digital thermometer is implemented using the sensor Transistor BC108. Output of this sensor changes according to change in the Temperature surrounding environment of this sensor. Conventional thermometers like mercury Thermometers are not precise and accurate to calculate temperature. So this digital type thermometer gives the temperature in digital form directly after calibrating the output voltage in temperature form. This Thermometer is a low power Digital Thermometer works on only 9V dc supply. Cost of this device is Rs. 255 only. It is a compact and reliable device for handling. A digital thermometer is used to measure the atmospheric temperature. The digital thermometer can measure temperatures up to 150C with an accuracy of 1C.1 The temperature is read on a 1V full scale-deflection (FSD) moving-coil voltmeter or digital voltmeter. Operational amplifier IC 741 (IC3) provides a constant flow of current through the base-emitter junction of NPN transistor BC108 (T1). The voltage across the base-emitter junction of the transistor is proportional to its temperature. The transistor used this way makes a low-cost sensor
