Thermostat Using LM56

This document describes a simple electronic thermostat circuit using the LM56 thermostat IC. The LM56 has two internal temperature comparators that are used to create two trip points (VT1 and VT2) by dividing the IC's 1.25V reference voltage with external resistors. When the temperature exceeds the trip points, the two digital outputs will switch states. One output can control a cooler and the other a heater, allowing basic temperature control. The document provides equations to calculate the external resistor values needed to set the desired trip points based on the 1.25V reference. A circuit diagram and parts list are also included, with notes on assembly and operation.

Thermostat using LM56

Description.
Here is the schematic of a very simple electronic thermostat using IC LM56. LM56 is a very accurate dual output
low power thermostat from National Semiconductors.LM56 has various useful features like internal temperature
sensor, two internal voltage comparators, internal voltage reference etc. Two stable temperature trip points (VT1
and VT2) are created by dividing the LM56s 1.250V internal voltage reference using 3 external resistors (R1, R2
and R3). There are two digital outputs for LM56 .Output1 becomes LOW when the temperature increases above T1
and goes HIGH when the temperature decreases below (T1Hysteresis Temperature). In the same way, Output2
becomes LOW when the temperature goes above T2 and goes HIGH when the temperature goes below
(T2Hysteresis
Temperature).
By connecting a cooler as the load for relay L1 and a heater as the load for relay L2, a very simple and useful
temperature control system can be constructed.
The values of R1, R2 and R3 for the required trip points VT1 and VT2 can be determined using the following
equations.
VT1
=
1.250V
x
(R1)/
(R1
+
R2
+
R3)
VT2
=
1.250V
x
(R1
+
R2)/
(R1
+
R2
+
R3)
where:
(R1
+
R2
+
R3)
=
27
k
Ohms
and
VT1
or
T2
=
[6.20
mV/degree
Celsius
x
T]
=
395
mV
therefore:
R1
=
VT1/
(1.25V)
x

R2
=
(VT2/
(1.25V)
x

R1
R3 = 27 k Ohms R1 R2

Notes.

The circuit can be assembled on a Vero board.


Use 5V DC for powering the circuit.
L1 and L2 can be 5V relays.Their current ratings must be selected according to the load they switch.
Do not give more than 10V to LM56.
