MIKROE THERMO K Click

MIKROE THERMO K Click carries the MCP9600 IC from Microchip. Depending on the type of probe it uses the Click can measure temperatures from −200 °C to +1372 °C. The Click is designed to run either on 3.3V or 5V power supply. It communicates with the target MCU through I2C interface. THERMO K Click has a PCC-SMP thermocouple connector onboard, suitable for all K-type probes. MCP9600 IC FROM MICROCHIP The MCP9600 IC converts thermocouple EMF to degree Celsius with integrated Cold-Junction compensation. It corrects the thermocouple nonlinear error characteristics of eight thermocouple types and outputs ±1.5°C accurate temperature data. 4 ALERT OUTPUTS THERMO K Click has 4 alert outputs onboard that can be used to detect multiple temperature zones. You can define on which specific temperature the THERMO K Click will send an alarm. LOW POWER MODES Low-Power modes are available for battery-powered applications. In shut-down mode the module uses only 2 µA. NOTE: In order to use THERMO K clik you need to connect the appropriate K-type thermocouple probe (not included in the package) into the PCC-SMP connector.
