PCB Layout Notes
1. MAX31855 should be as close as possible to the thermocouple connector.
2. Use as much copper as possible between MAX31855 and connector (PCC-SMP-x-x).
3. Place decoupling CAP close to their voltage supply.
4. Use a large ground plane to improve the device’s temperature measurement accuracy.
