Sparkfun Infrared Thermometer - MLX90614

The Sparkfun Melexis MLX90614ESF-BAA is a remarkable infrared thermometer that offers non-contact temperature sensing. With an internal 17-bit ADC and a powerful DSP, this device takes accuracy and resolution to a whole new level. It is perfect for a wide range of applications, such as body temperature measurement and movement detection.The MLX90614 offers two types of output: PWM and SMBus (also known as TWI, I2C). The PWM output is 10-bit and provides a resolution of 0.14°C, while the TWI interface boasts a resolution of 0.02°C. This thermometer is factory calibrated for wide temperature ranges: -40 to 85°C for ambient temperature and -70 to 382.2°C for object temperature. The measured value is the average temperature of all objects within the sensor's field of view. The MLX90614 offers a standard accuracy of 0.5°C around room temperatures.The MLX90614 device is housed in an industry standard TO-39 package, and the version carried by Sparkfun operates on 3V.Features:
