The MLX90615 is an Infra Red thermometer for non contact temperature measurements. Both the IR sensitive thermopile detector chip and the signal conditioning chip are integrated in the same TO-46 can package. Thanks to its low noise amplifier, 16-bit ADC and powerful DSP unit, a high accuracy and resolution of the thermometer is achieved. The thermometer comes factory calibrated with the digital SMBus compatible interface enabled. Readout resolution is 0.02°C.

Features:

• Small size, low cost
  
• Easy to integrate
  
• Factory calibrated in wide temperature range:
• -40…85°C for sensor temperature and
• -40…115°C for object temperature.
  
• High accuracy of 0.5°C over wide temperature range (0...+50°C for both TA and TO )
  
• High (medical) accuracy calibration
  
• Measurement resolution of 0.02°C
