IR-Linked Temperature Sensor

circuit schematic

This is a circuit that transmits temperature data over an IR link and it allows the isolation of temperature sensor. It is a good solution of obtaining temperature readings from points at potentials a few tens of volts from ground by linking a temperature probe  only by an IR connection to the readout point. This [...]
