Pin Name Function
SCL / Vz
Serial clock input for 2 wire communications protocol. 5.7V zener is available at this
pin for connection of external bipolar transistor to MLX90614Axx to supply the device
from external 8 …16V source.
SDA / PWM
Digital input / output. In normal mode the measured object temperature is available at
this pin Pulse Width Modulated.
In SMBus compatible mode the pin is automatically configured as open drain NMOS.
VDD External supply voltage.
VSS Ground. The metal can is also connected to this pin.

Note: for +12V (+8…+16V) powered operation refer to the Application information section. For EMC and
isothermal conditions reasons it is highly recommended not to use any electrical connection to the metal can
except by the VSS pin.
With the SCL / Vz and PWM / SDA pins operated in 2-wire interface mode, the input Schmidt trigger function is
automatically enabled.
