MAX3180EUK+T datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX3180EUK+T Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum temperature range that the MAX3180EUK+T can measure?
  The MAX3180EUK+T can measure temperatures from -200°C to 1350°C, but the accuracy is specified from -20°C to 850°C.
• How does the MAX3180EUK+T handle cold junction compensation?
  The MAX3180EUK+T has an internal cold junction compensation circuit that uses an internal thermistor to measure the temperature of the cold junction, and then compensates for it in the thermocouple measurement.
• What is the accuracy of the MAX3180EUK+T, and how is it affected by the type of thermocouple used?
  The accuracy of the MAX3180EUK+T is ±2°C for K-type thermocouples, ±3°C for J-type thermocouples, and ±4°C for T-type thermocouples, assuming a 5V supply and a 0°C to 500°C temperature range.
• How does the MAX3180EUK+T handle noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI)?
  The MAX3180EUK+T has a high-impedance differential input stage and a proprietary noise-rejection circuit to minimize the effects of noise and EMI on the thermocouple measurement.
• What is the power consumption of the MAX3180EUK+T, and how does it affect the overall system power budget?
  The MAX3180EUK+T has a typical power consumption of 1.5mA at 5V, which is relatively low and suitable for battery-powered or low-power applications.
