Normally we find thermistors being used as the sensor for detecting and monitoring temperatures in electronic circuits. However, ordinary semiconductor components like transistors and diodes actually work better than thermitors when it comes to detecting temperature changes. In fact, this feature happens to be one of the greatest drawbacks of semiconductor devices, whose working characteristics […]

RTD Temperature Meter Circuit
In this post I have explained the making of an RTD temperature meter circuit, and also learn about different RTDs and their working principles through formulas. What’s an RTD A RTD or resistance temperature detector works by detecting the difference or an increase in the resistance of the sensor metal when it’s subjected to heat. […]
Programmable Temperature Controller Circuit with Timer
Here I have explained about a circuit configuration which produces adjustable sequential timing outputs for controlling a heater device through a simultaneously sequencing temperature controller circuit which can be also pre-programmed for acquiring the desired temperature levels across the sequencing time slots. The idea was requested by Mr. Carlos Technical Specifications I’m Carlos and I […]
Temperature to Voltage Converter Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple temperature to voltage converter circuit using IC LM317. The idea was requested by one of the dedicated members of this blog. Technical Specifications I have eurotherm TS200A temperature controller.this is thyrister based. This required 0-5V control voltage. I want one temperature control circuit when temperature is 25deg […]
Temperature Triggered DC Fan Speed Controller
This fan speed controller works by sensing the temperature of the engine and is accordingly used for the triggering. As the temperature increases so does the speed of the fan motor and vice versa. Circuit Operation Operation of the proposed temperature controlled fan may be understood as follows: The speed of the DC motor alters […]
Kiln Temperature Controller Circuit
A programmable sequential timer along with a triac dimmer is configured for making this kiln temperature controller circuit, further details are explained in the following article. The idea was requested by Mr. Joe. 220V Kiln Controller with Timer I’m hoping you have some time to have a crack at a design I’m after. I’ve been […]
