Ippokratis Karakotsoglou: B323X Assignment Task 2-Section 2

The document describes a temperature sensing system used in a Multi-Access Line Concentrator (MALC) device. It uses an LM335 temperature sensor which outputs a voltage of 10mV/Kelvin, allowing the temperature to be determined from the sensor output voltage. The sensor output connects to a 24 AWG cable interfacing it with additional circuitry like an ADC and PIC to control a fan tray and chassis alarm based on the temperature. The LM335 sensor costs around $0.75 and is available in plastic TO-92 and hermetic TO-46 packages.

B323X ASSIGNMENT TASK 2-SECTION 2

1. The Device
Our system that needs temperature sensing is a Multi-Access Line Concentrator (MALC) ADSL device with line cards for customers. The system should be controlled for high temperatures damaging the unit. At the top of the unit there is a removable fan tray (see figure below). The maximum operating temperature should not exceed 65 degrees Celsius.

Figure: removable fan tray

To achieve this there is an alarm indicator (see figure below) on the chassis indicating any temperature extremes. The recommended gauge for this cable is 24 AWG with no more than 60 feet length.

Temperature can be checked either visually or remotely through the network using CLI commands (see below).

2. The sensor
The system is equipped with a LM335 temperature sensor which is a high precision IC sensor operating as a 2-terminal zener (see image below). with a voltage of +10mV/Kelvin which means that the breakdown voltage is directly proportional to absolute temperature at 10 mV/K.

It has Less than 1 dynamic impedance and operates over a current range of 400 mA to 5 mA. When calibrated at 25C (298,2K) the LM335 has initial accuracy as good as (+, -) 1C.

The supply voltage is 5 V and the maximum output current is 5mA.

3. Principle of operation
Since the sensor is a zener diode a bias current needs to be established for the circuit to operate. As mentioned previously this is between 400 mA to 5 mA. If the reference temperature is 25C=298K and since we have of +10mV/Kelvin then 298*10mV/K=2.98V. So the voltage drop across the resistor is 5V - 2.98V = 2.02V, between the +5V power supply and the diode. The output temperature is given by the following formula:

T is the unknown temperature and To is the reference temperature both in Kelvin. Any variations in the output voltage will give us the temperature. The LM335 is guaranteed over a temperature range of 40C to +100C.

4. Connectivity
The output will be connected to the 24 AWG cable which is used to interface the sensor with more circuitry, like A/D and a PIC to control the fan tray and the chassis alarm leads shown in the image below.

5. Physical Characteristics and availability


The LM335 is a three pin IC sensor RoHS Compliant and is available in plastic TO-92 packages (see image below) as well as in hermetic TO-46 transistor packages. It is a low cost IC sensor costing about 0.75 USD with fairly good availability.
