• The main application of this circuit is as an anti-theft alarm in automobiles. In this circuit, a piezoelectric sensor is used as a shock sensor that has to be mounted on the door which you have to guard. 
• Here shown in figure LM358 is connected in the inverting Schmitt trigger. The port R1 sets the threshold voltage of the circuit. R1 is used as the feedback resistor.
• When the piezoelectric sensor has not activated the output from the piezoelectric sensor will be low and so will the output of the IC, So at a time output of the sensor is high and activates as a Schmitt trigger. Then it gives the buzzer sound. 
• The buzzer remains beeping for some time even if the vibration is detached. This is because when inverting input has little effect when the LM358 IC is triggered and the state can't be easily inverted. So fix the sensor firmly to the surface, wherever you place it and it is always good to place the sensor near to the doorknob. 
• So here this figure has to use the 3-volt battery as a power supply and regulate the R2 register to obtain the necessary sensitivity.

• The LM35 temperature sensor is available in many different packages like TO-92 plastic package form, 8 lead surface mount SO-8 small outline package. 
• LM35 gives temperature output is more precise than thermistor output.

LM35 Pinout Diagram :

LM35 has three pinouts which are given below with figure:

PIN 1: Vcc, it is used as input at this pin we supply +5V input voltage.

PIN 2: At this pin, we get output voltage.

PIN 3: This pin is used for ground.

 LM35 Features :

• Low-cost temperature sensor.
• Minimum and maximum voltages are 35V and -2V respectively, Typically 5V.
• Drain current is less than 60uA.
• Small and hence suitable for remote applications.
• 0.5 C accuracy guarantee able
• Can measure temperature ranging from -55 ̊ C to 150 ̊ C.
• Available in TO-92, TO-220, TO-CAN and SOIC package.
• The output voltage is directly proportional to temperature there will be a rise of 10mV for every 1 ̊ C rise in temperature.
• Suitable for remote applications.

LM35 Working :

• LM35 is a precision of temperature sensor with its output is proportional to the temperature. The sensor is circuitry is sealed and therefore it does not subject to oxidation and other processes. 
• LM35 temperature can be measured more accurately than with a thermistor. 
• The output voltage range of this sensor is from -55 to 150 C.  It also has low self-heating power.
• Operating voltage is 4 to 30 Volts.
• This sensor is used with an operational amplifier which amplifies a voltage at a certain level.  
• In operational amplifier there are three terminals, first two are inverting and non-inverting input and the third one is used for the output. 
• So by using the IC LM35 with an operational amplifier, we can get amplification of output voltages of LM35.

LM35 Advantages:

• Low self-heating.
• This IC and circuit are not too much complected.
• It does not require signal conditioning.
• It requires only 4 to 30 V voltage.

LM35 Applications :

• It is used for measuring the temperature of a particular environment.
• Monitoring battery temperature and also provides battery protection from overheating.
• Providing thermal shutdown for a circuit or a component used in a specific project.
• It can be used for measuring temperature for HVAC transmission.
