1. OBJECTIVE

The objective of this project is to design a circuitry and interfacing it with microcontroller so as to get the digital output for an analog input. We are sensing voltage under this project.
The basic components include the use of ADC 0809 and interfacing it with 8051 microcontroller through 8255 peripheral. There are 8 select channels, IND to IN7 through which we can provide an analog input to ADC which we have obtained from an analog device. This output can be electrical signals of transducers measuring temperature, depth, pressure, etc. in the form of an output voltage. We see that there are 8 input channels for ADC and we can use 8 different inputs at a time.
Now the output of this ADC is fed into the input of 8051 micro controller. Through a 8255 peripheral. The microcontroller the displays this digitized output on a screen which we can see.
We write a program in the microcontroller which then controls the functioning of sending signals to ADC and receiving the output from ADC.
The program generates signals which activate the ADC.
The digitized output if microcontroller can be used for various purposes, like in power plants we can use this for continuous voltage monitoring of a generator, continuous temperature sensing in various parts of boiler, etc.
We can use these outputs for other purposes also according

    The device comes in a variety of configurations featuring the usual peripherals: internal oscillator, timer including PWM, watchdog, USART, SPI, I2C, 10/12/14/16-bit ADCs, and brownout reset circuitry. Some less usual peripheral options include comparators (that can be used with the timers to do simple ADC), on-chip op-amps for signal conditioning, 12-bit DAC, LCD driver, hardware multiplier, and DMA for ADC results. Apart from some older EPROM (PMS430E3xx) and high volume mask ROM (MSP430Cxxx) versions, all of the devices are in-system programmable via JTAG or a built in bootstrap…

    The system prototype is able to provide real time measurements of the water level. Therefore with the lesser communication delay, the response time of the overall system is very less making the system efficient and effective. With the operation of the prototype, it was clearly evident that the system does not require any sort of human interactions. Furthermore it was also evident that the system was able to operate without any shortage or spillage of…

    by sensing the voltage variation developed across the meter and activates the beeper when the fuel tank is almost empty. Its point A is connected to the input terminal of the fuel meter and point B is connected to the body of the vehicle. The circuit consists of an op-amp IC CA3140 (IC1), two 555 timer ICs (IC2 and IC3) and decade counter CD4017 (IC4). Op-amp IC CA3140 is wired as a voltage comparator. Its inverting input (pin 2) receives a reference voltage controlled through VR1. The noninverting input (pin 3) receives a variable voltage tapped from the input terminal of the fuel meter through resistor R1. When the voltage at pin 3 is higher than at pin 2, the output of IC1 goes high and the green LED (LED1) glows. This condition is maintained until the voltage at pin 3 drops below that at pin 2. When this happens, the output of IC1 swings from high to low, sending a…

    Sensors

    A sensor (also called detector) is a converter that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an (today mostly electronic) instrument. For example, a mercury-in-glass thermometer converts the measured temperature into expansion and contraction of a liquid which can be read on a calibrated glass tube. A thermocouple converts temperature to an output voltage which can be read by a voltmeter. For accuracy, most sensors are calibrated against known standards. Sensors are used in everyday objects such as touch-sensitive elevator buttons (tactile sensor) and lamps which dim or brighten by touching the base. There are also innumerable applications for sensors of which most people are never aware. Applications include cars, machines, aerospace, medicine, manufacturing and robotics. There are many different designs of sensors that are commercially available for monitoring and controlling industrial processes. Technological advances have enabled the development of sensors with microscopic precision. They use MEMS technology and are called Micro sensors.…
