This breakout does everything for you, and can be easily interfaced with any microcontroller, even one without an analog input. This breakout board has the chip itself, a 3.3V regulator and level shifting circuitry, all assembled and tested. Comes with a 2 pin terminal block (for connecting to the thermocouple) and pin header (to plug into any breadboard or perfboard). We even added inline resistors and a filter capacitor on-board for better stability, as recommended by Maxim. Goes great with our 1m K-type thermocouple or any other thermocouple, really.
Key Features
- Works with any K, J, N, R, S, T, E, or B type thermocouple
- -210 C to +1800 C output in 0.0078125 degree resolution - note that many thermocouples have about +-2 C to +-6 C accuracy or worse depending on the temperature and type, so the resolution will be a lot better than the accuracy
- Internal temperature reading
- 3.3 to 5v power supply and logic level compliant!
- SPI data requires any 4 digital I/O pins
