It integrates temperature sensing, signal conversion, A/D conversion and heating functions into one chip, and belongs to a new generation of intelligent digital temperature sensors with microprocessors. DS18B20 has a total of 3 pins, (respectively digital signal input/output, ground, power supply), using TO-92 small-volume packaging.DS18B20 Main Specifications:The temperature measurement range is -55℃～+125℃;Programmable to 9 to 12 bit A/D conversion accuracy;The temperature measurement resolution can reach 0.0625℃, and the error is ±0.5℃;The working power supply can be introduced at the remote end (3-wire working mode) or generated by parasitic power supply (2-wire working mode);The measured temperature is serially output with a sign-extended 16-bit digital quantity;Each sensor has a unique 64-bit serial number, which is stored in the ROM of the sensor;The sensor also has two temperature upper and lower limit storage units.III Hardware CircuitThe multifunctional electronic thermometer is mainly composed of the following parts:Power circuitDigital temperature sensorSingle chip computerLCD MonitorAudio circuit...Its hardware circuit schematic diagram is shown as in Fig. 1.Figure 1. Hardware Circuit (right click to view big picture)3.1 Power CircuitU1 is the micro power consumption step-down DC/DC converter LT3470 introduced by Linear Technology. Here, U1 converts the 9V dry battery voltage into 5V DC voltage to power the entire circuit.So, how to start and shut down automatically? We only need to press the start button S2. After starting, pin 1 (SHDN) of U1 gets a high level, pin 5 of U1 outputs a 5V stable DC voltage, and the thermometer starts to work at this time. Then, the 14-pin (P1.2) of the one-chip computer outputs a high level through D2 to keep the 1 pin of U1 high. When 6 minutes are up, the 14-pin of the single-chip microcomputer outputs a low level, and the 1 pin of U1 becomes a low level, and the circuit automatically powers down.3.2 Digital Temperature Sensor and CalibrationThe digital temperature sensor DS18B20 is used as a temperature measuring probe to collect temperature signals. And the digitized temperature signal is input through the 19-pin (P1.7) of the microcontroller. DS18B20 adopts 2-wire working mode, and the working power is generated by parasitic power.For example, use this thermometer to measure the temperature of a baby. We can fix the temperature probe on a special bandage and tie it to the arm. So that the sensor is located under the armpit. In this way, it can be avoided that the temperature measuring probe is detached from the test site. Due to infant activities or crying when measuring the body temperature of the infant, and the measurement is convenient.For another example, the temperature probe can also measure indoor and outdoor temperature, refrigerator temperature, etc. The special probe for measuring food temperature adopts non-toxic straw and non-toxic silica gel package, which is easy to clean.Since DS18B20 is in the range of -10℃～85℃, its measurement error is ±0.5℃. In order to accurately measure body temperature, this blog uses a self-made constant temperature water bath system to determine the temperature curve of each sensor. We can calibrate the DS18B20 according to the temperature curve to make the measurement error within the range of 25℃～50℃ be ±0.1℃.3.2.1 Constant Temperature Water Bath SystemThe constant temperature water bath system consists of the following three parts: an electric cooker with heat preservation, a cylindrical copper body with good heat conduction, and an automatic temperature controller.We need to make 50 round holes with a diameter of 5mm and a height of 30mm on a cylindrical copper body with a diameter of 120mm and a height of 80mm. In this way, the temperature sensor can be fixed and the temperature of all the sensors in the copper body can be kept consistent. Put the cylindrical copper body into the electric cooker, and add distilled water to submerge the copper body.3.2.2 DS18B20 Actual Temperature Curve MeasurementInsert multiple encapsulated sensors to be tested (no more than 49) into the small holes of the copper body of the constant temperature water bath;Insert the high-precision digital thermometer into the small hole of the copper body to accurately measure the current temperature;The wires of all sensors are led out through the upper cover hole of the electric cooker and connected to the upper computer. Cover the electric cooker with heat preservation material;Turn on the power, change the temperature setting of the automatic thermostat, and control the temperature of the constant temperature water bath;Monitor the temperature value of the digital thermometer. Whenever the specified temperature value is reached, start the upper computer temperature measurement program and simultaneously measure the current temperature of all the sensors to be tested;From 25℃～60℃, measure 1 set of data every 5℃, and automatically generate the actual temperature curve of each sensor.3.2.3 Correction of DS18B20By analyzing the measured temperature curve of the sensor, we can find that within the range of 25℃～50℃, the error is -0.1℃～-0.3℃. In the design of this blog, the current temperature value of DS18B20 plus 0.2℃ is used as the actual measured temperature, so that the measurement error in the range of 25℃～50℃ is reduced to ±0.1℃.3.3 MCU CircuitThe microcontroller (U2) is the core component of the thermometer. It has the following functions:Temperature signal reading, processing calculation, correctionTemperature measurement timingTemperature memorySound prompt,Automatic shutdown...　　This design adopts AT89C2051 single-chip microcomputer produced by American ATMEL company. It is a built-in flash memory microcontroller that is fully compatible with the MCS-51 series, with only 20 pins.

Provides the following standard functions:An 8-bit CPU;2kB flash memory;128 bytes RAM;Two 16-bit timers;A complete 8-bit bidirectional I/O port;5 interrupt sources.After starting the thermometer, the microcontroller starts an internal timer to record the temperature measurement time. It also reads the digital temperature signal sent by DS18B20, processes and corrects it to obtain the real-time temperature value. The temperature value and temperature measurement time are sent to the LCD display via serial communication via pin 1 (P3.0) and pin 2 (P3.1);When the temperature measurement time reaches 5 minutes, the current temperature value is automatically registered, and pin 11 outputs a low level to control the audio circuit to give a sound prompt;When the temperature measurement time reaches 6 minutes, the single-chip 14 pin outputs low level, and the thermometer is automatically powered off.3.4 LCD DisplayThis blog uses a 3 and a half liquid crystal display (LCD) to display temperature and temperature measurement time. The display has the following characteristics:Use glass encapsulation;There are 5 pins in total;Serial communicationWith 3 and a half display area and ℃ unit display;Function with backlight;The power supply voltage range is 2V～5V.This design uses the main display area to indicate the temperature, and the sub-display area to indicate the temperature measurement time.3.5 Audio CircuitThe audio circuit consists of the following parts:Transistor Q2 (9015) resistance R12;Capacitance C12;Buzzer B1;When the pin 11 of the single-chip microcomputer outputs low level, the transistor Q2 is saturated and turned on, and the buzzer generates an audible prompt.IV Software DesignThe program is written in 89C51 series C language and debugged on the single-chip simulation system. The program flow chart is shown in Figure 2.Figure 2. Block Diagram of Main ProgramAfter power-on reset, initialize the DS18B20, input and output ports, timers, etc. Read the temperature value of the last measurement and storage from the lower temperature limit storage unit of DS18B20 and display it for 3 seconds. Start the internal timer T0 of the microcontroller to record the temperature measurement time.Obtain the temperature value and correct the error. According to the communication protocol of DS18B20, the temperature signal is read from the sensor, the sign is distinguished, and the temperature value is obtained after calculation and processing. Then, add 0.2°C to the temperature value as the actual temperature, and correct the measurement error within the range of 25°C to 50°C to ±0.1°C.Display of temperature. According to the communication protocol of the liquid crystal display, the temperature value and temperature measurement time are sent to the display for display. The main display area indicates the temperature, and the secondary display area indicates the temperature measurement time.When the temperature measurement time reaches 5 minutes, the 11-pin of the single-chip microcomputer outputs a low-level control audio circuit to emit a prompt sound, and the current temperature is sent to the lower temperature storage unit of DS18B20 for registration, and sent to the secondary display area for display.When the temperature measurement time reaches 6minutes, the 14-pin of the single-chip microcomputer outputs low level, and the thermometer automatically powers down.V ConclusionCompared with traditional thermometers, the DS18B20 Multi-function Electronic Thermometer designed in this blog has many advantages. The latter overcomes the difficulty of reading mercury thermometers and is easy to be broken and pollute the environment. At the same time, compared with simple electronic thermometers, multifunctional electronic thermometers also overcome the shortcomings of poor measurement accuracy.

Effectively chopping off parts of the waveform reduces the average voltage without affecting the base frequency of the signal. What is PWM and how it works?Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is a technique to generate low frequency output signals from high frequency pulses. Rapidly switching the output voltage of an inverter leg between the upper and lower DC rail voltages, the low frequency output can be thought of as the average of voltage over a switching period. Why PWM is required?PWM is used in many applications, ranging from communications to power control and conversion. For example, the PWM is commonly used to control the speed of electric motors, the brightness of lights, in ultrasonic cleaning applications, and many more.

In the most basic circuit, op-amps are used as voltage amplifiers, which can be broadly divided into noninverting and inverting amplifiers. Voltage followers (also simply called buffers) are a type of commonly used noninverting amplifiers. Op-amps are also used as differential amplifiers, integrator circuits, etc.   What is the difference between amplifiers and op-amps? Amplifiers can be either electronic or mechanical in common definition whereas operational amplifiers are electronic amplifiers. Amplifiers, in general, have a limited capability of amplifying DC signals but all op-amps are capable of amplifying DC signals.   Why op-amps are better than transistors? An Op Amp is often a much better quality amplifier using discrete components and most wide variety of application then transistor. In comparison with transistor it is building block, need to bias it and put it into a gain configuration. A single transistor can not give you differential gain.
