Complex Engineering Problem
Complex Engineering Problem
Objective:
The objective of this complex engineering problem is to carry out research, analysis, design,
investigation and implementation of a cascaded Operational Amplifier circuit for an industrial
application.
But in the course, the problem is mapped CLO3 and your performance in this project will play an
important role in their attainment. CLO3 is reproduced:
Statement:
You have been hired in a well known industry at its equipment safety and handling department to
develop a system that generates an alert if the temperature of the equipment goes above or below
a certain safe range. The safe temperature range for the equipment is 12o < T< 38o
The equipment that you have to work with has a temperature sensor LM35 and its associated
amplifier circuit with a fixed gain of 25V/V (also to be designed). The temperature vs voltage
graph of LM35 is given below:
1
One of the possible solutions for the above requirement is given in the block diagram below.

3. Window comparator
This unit will compare the output of the temperature sensor unit with the upper and lower
threshold and will generate a signal to any indicator unit (buzzer or LED).
Available Resources:
Simulate and implement each block using OP-AMP and appropriate resistances.
Use any of the OP-AMP configurations to design the threshold network.
Mention all the design parameters of each module along with the complete design calculations.
Make a technical report with a brief introduction, theory of operation, calculations and
conclusion. Submit the group report with not more than 4 students in each group.
Deadline
The assigned task is due on May 27, 2024 2:30pm.
