The MCP96RL01 is a fully integrated thermocouple Electromotive Force (EMF) to degrees Celsius converter IC with integrated thermocouple open-circuit and short-circuit detection and cold-junction compensation. The MCP96RL01 supports 8 thermocouple types (K, J, T, N, S, E, B and R). The MCP96RL01 provides user-programmable registers, adding design flexibility for various temperature sensing applications. The registers allow user-selectable settings, such as low-power modes for battery-powered applications, an adjustable digital filter for fast transient temperatures and four individually programmable temperature alert outputs, which can be used to detect multiple temperature zones.
