Precision thermostat

I made in 1996 a precision analog thermostat for controlling an electric heater.

This application uses three integrated circuits: temperature sensor LM335, voltage reference TL431 and operational amplifier LM108, all of them are high precision circuits.

Specification:
- precision analog thermostat
- design with a minimum of components
- easy calibration without need for temperature reference
- 230 VAC command
- adjustable trigger temperature from 10 to 50 °C
- 1.5 °C hysteresis
