However, there are still projects that can achieve the same goals as those requiring MCUs and software, but with simpler and more efficient designs.
In our daily lives, temperature controllers find numerous applications, such as in rice cookers, fridges, water geysers, microwave ovens, and air-conditioners. One device that stands out for its ability to function as a splendid temperature controller, when paired with an MCU and suitable programming, is the TMP36. By precisely measuring temperatures and providing input to the MCU, which then converts the signal into control commands for associated devices like relays, the TMP36 simplifies temperature control. In this project, the TMP36 controls a relay directly, without the need for an MCU or software. The circuit, composed of a few discrete components, is both precise and straightforward. Fig. 1 shows the prototype tested in EFY lab.
Circuit and working
The circuit diagram of the cute temperature sensor is shown in Fig. 2. The sensor is built around 5V voltage regulator LM7805 (IC1), the TMP36 sensor (IC2), a 5V one-changeover relay (RL1), npn transistor BC547 (T1), pnp transistor SK100 (T2), diode 1N60 (D1), and a few other components.
