Maxim (MAX31855SASA+T) Temperature Sensor IC, Digital, ± 2°C, -50 °C

Temperature Sensor IC, Digital, ± 2°C, -50 °C, 1600 °C, NSOIC, 8 PinsProduct OverviewThe MAX31855SASA+T is a cold junction compensated thermocouple to digitalconverter in 8 pin NSOIC package. This is a "S" type sophisticated thermocoupleto digital converter with a built-in 14bit analogue to digital converter (ADC)also contains cold junction compensation sensing and correction, a digitalcontroller, an SPI compatible interface (read only) and associated controllogic. The function of the thermocouple is to sense a difference in temperaturebetween two ends of the thermocouple wires and it has a signal-conditioninghardware to convert the thermocouple's signal into a voltage compatible with theinput channels of the ADC. The device is designed to work in conjunction with anexternal microcontroller (µC) in thermostatic, process-control or monitoringapplications.Supply voltage range is 3V to 3.6VOperating temperature range from -40°C to +125°CMeasured temperature range of -50°C to +1600°CIntegration reduces design time and lowers system costDetects thermocouple shorts to GND or VCCDetects open thermocoupleThermocouple temperature data resolution is 0.25°CTemperature gain & offset error (9.587µV/°C nominal sensitivity) is ±2°C at TA =-20°C to +85°CApplicationsSensing & Instrumentation, Industrial, AutomotiveProduct InformationIC Output Type: DigitalSensing Accuracy Range: ± 2°CSensing Temperature Min: -50°CSensing Temperature Max: 1600°CSensor Case Style: NSOICNo. of Pins: 8PinsSupply Voltage Min: 3VSupply Voltage Max: 3.6VProduct Range: -MSL: MSL 1 - Unlimited
