thermometer with MAX V device

Hello, I'm making a thermometer controlled by a MAX V (5M160ZE64C5) device for a student project, here in Belgium. As this is my first contact with electronics I have a lot of question...

Boris,

I confess, I didn't pay close enough attention to the TMP04. It requires that you calculate the temperature, which is where you're having problems. You should use something like the ADT7302 which has an internal A/D converter. You can then just read out the temperature in digital form, no calculation required.
