Abstract :
Differential thermal analysis is employed to characterize new materials. The structure of a prototype of a differential thermal analysis instrument, based on a microcontroller is described. The design considerations of the temperature controller to vary the temperature of the heating unit at a constant rate are discussed. Experimental and simulation results are presented
