Melexis MLX90614ESF-BCC-000-TU

The MLX90614 is an Infra Red thermometer for noncontact temperature measurements. Both the IR sensitive thermopile detector chip and the signal conditioning ASSP are integrated in the same TO-39 can. Thanks to its low noise amplifier, 17-bit ADC and powerful DSP unit, a high accuracy and resolution of the thermometer is achieved. The thermometer comes factory calibrated with a digital PWM and SMBus (System Management Bus) output. As a standard, the 10-bit PWM is configured to continuously transmit the measured temperature in range of -20…120°C with an output resolution of 0.14°C. The factory default PDR setting is SMBus. The MLX90614 is built from 2 chips: The Infra Red thermopile detector MLX81101 and the signal conditioning ASSP MLX90302, specially designed to process the output of IR sensor. The device is available in an industry standard TO-39 package. Thanks to the low noise amplifier, high resolution 17-bit ADC and powerful DSP unit of MLX90302, high accuracy and resolution of the thermometer is achieved. The calculated object and ambient temperatures are available in RAM of MLX90302 with resolution of 0.01°C. They are accessible by 2 wire serial SMBus compatible protocol (0.02°C resolution) or via 10-bit PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) output of the device. The MLX90614 is factory calibrated in wide temperature ranges: -40°C - 125°C for the ambient temperature and -70°C…380°C for the object temperature. The measured value is the average temperature of all objects in the Field Of View of the sensor. The MLX90614 offers a standard accuracy of ±0.5°C around room temperatures. A special version for medical applications exists offering an accuracy of ±0.2°C in a limited temperature range around the human body temperature. As a standard, the MLX90614 is calibrated for an object emissivity of 1. It can be easily customized by the customer for any other emissivity in the range 0.1 …1.0 without the need of recalibration with a black body.
