MAX31850/MAX31851
Cold-Junction Compensated, 1-Wire
Thermocouple-to-Digital Converters
General Description
The MAX31850/MAX31851 cold-junction compensat-
ed, 1-Wire
M
thermocouple-to-digital converters perform
cold-junction compensation and digitize the signal from
a K-, J-, N-, T-, S-, R-, or E-type thermocouple. The con-
verters resolve temperatures to 0.25NC, allow readings
as high as +1768NC and as low as -270NC, and exhibit
thermocouple accuracy of 8 LSBs (2NC) for temperatures
ranging from -200NC to +700NC.
Communication with the master microcontroller is over a
1-Wire bus that by definition requires only one data line
(and ground) for communication. Operating power can
be obtained directly from the data line (“parasite power”),
eliminating the need for an external power supply.
Each device has a unique 64-bit serial code, which
allows multiple units to function on the same 1-Wire bus.
Therefore, it is simple to use one microcontroller (the
master device) to monitor temperature from many ther-
mocouples distributed over a large area.
Four location address inputs simplify mapping of
individual units to specific locations.
