THE
digital
thermometer
de-
scribed
here
was
designed for
low
cost
and simplicity,
as
well
as
ac-
curacy. If you
check the
semiconduc-
tor
sales ads in this magazine
and use
a
conventional
thermistor,
you
can
build the
thermometer
for
about $15.
If
you decide
to use
a precision thermis-
tor,
the
cost will
be about $20.
Since
the
thermometer
operates
from
a
+5
-volt line,
it can
be used in
a car,
54
boat, or camper. With
a
line-
powered
5 -volt
supply,
it
can be
used
in
the
home.
It
is
possible to
use two
switchable
thermistors
to check temperature
differentials
-such
as between the
outside and inside,
or between two
rooms.
If
a
long lead
is
used between
the thermistor
and the
electronic cir-
cuit, the project
can be used
as a
fish-
ing thermometer.

How It Works.
The
frequency
of
the
CMOS
multivibrator
(Fig.
1)
depends
on
the resistance
of
thermistor
TDR1,
which is determined by the
ambient
temperature. Thus, if the temperature
goes
up. the
frequency
of the
multivi-
brator
goes
up, and
vice versa. Trim-
mer potentiometer R23 is used to
ad-
just the
linearity.
The
two
-transistor
multivibrator (Q1
and Q2) automatically
resets the two
