This document describes a binary temperature monitor project using an 8-bit analog-to-digital converter. The project utilizes an ADC0808 8-bit A/D converter IC to convert the analog output of an AD594 thermocouple amplifier to an 8-bit binary number displayed from 0-255. A 555 timer configured as an astable multivibrator provides the clock for the A/D conversion. The circuit was designed, simulated, constructed, and tested, showing accurate conversion of temperature readings to the equivalent 8-bit binary number.
