Description
The Adafruit 4101 MCP9600 is an I2C thermocouple amplifier that supports various thermocouple types including K, J, T, N, S, E, B, and R. It has a built-in cold-compensation reference and can be easily interfaced with microcontrollers or single-board-computers. The chip handles all analog functions and allows for setting alerts for over/under temperature. The breakout board includes the chip, a 3.3V regulator, and level shifting circuitry. It works with both 3.3V and 5V logic and comes with a 2 pin terminal block and pin header for easy connection. The thermocouple is rated for various temperature ranges and has a resolution of 0.0625 C. It also has an internal temperature reading and is compatible with 3.3V to 5V power supply and I2C data connection.
Thermocouples are very sensitive, requiring a good amplifier with a cold-compensation reference. The Adafruit MCP9600 does all that for you, and can be easily interfaced with any microcontroller or single-board-computer with I2C. Inside, the chip handles all the analog stuff for you, and can interface with just about any thermocouple type: K, J, T, N, S, E, B and R type are all supported! You can also set various alerts for over/under temperature, and read the thermocouple (hot) temperature and the chip (cold) temperature. All this over common I2C This breakout board has the chip itself, a 3.3V regulator and level shifting circuitry, all assembled and tested. Works great with 3.3V or 5V logic. Comes with a 2 pin terminal block (for connecting to the thermocouple) and pin header (to plug into any breadboard or perfboard). Match it up with our 1m K-type thermocouple. Works with any K, J, T, N, S, E, B and R type thermocouple Datasheet rated for: K Type: -200C to +1372C J Type: -150C to +1200C T Type: -200C to +400C N Type: -150C to +1300C E Type: -200C to +1000C S Type: +250C to +1664C B Type: +1000C to +1800C R Type: +250C to +1664C Resolution of 0.0625 C - note that K thermocouples have about 2C to 6C accuracy Internal temperature reading 3.3 to 5v power supply and logic level compliant I2C data connection
