A digital temperature control system for controlling the temperature of a space, including a thermal sensing element for supplying an analog signal proportional to temperature, an analog-to-digital converter for converting analog signals supplied by said thermal sensing element into digital signals, a plurality of switches for setting a desired temperature setting, a bit pattern-to-digital converter for converting the switch combinations into sets of digital signals, and arithmetically subtracting one least significant bit from the digital number represented by the sets of digital signals, and a digital comparator for comparing the outputs from the analog-to-digital converter with the outputs from the bit pattern-to-digital converter and for transmitting a control signal only in case the digital output from the analog-to-digital converter is greater than the digital output from the bit pattern-to-digital converter, wherein the bit pattern-to-digital converter functions as a subtractor in response to the control signal from the digital comparator, and transmits a subtracted digital signal to the digital comparator.
