MAX31855TASA+ datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX31855TASA+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum temperature range that the MAX31855TASA+ can measure?
  The MAX31855TASA+ can measure temperatures from -200°C to 1350°C, with an accuracy of ±2°C from -20°C to 420°C.
• How does the MAX31855TASA+ handle cold junction compensation?
  The MAX31855TASA+ 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 conversion time for the MAX31855TASA+?
  The conversion time for the MAX31855TASA+ is approximately 10ms, which allows for fast temperature measurements.
• Can the MAX31855TASA+ be used with multiple thermocouple types?
  Yes, the MAX31855TASA+ can be used with multiple thermocouple types, including K, J, N, T, E, B, R, and S types, by selecting the appropriate thermocouple type through the device's registers.
• How does the MAX31855TASA+ handle noise and interference?
  The MAX31855TASA+ has built-in noise filtering and error detection capabilities to minimize the effects of noise and interference on the temperature measurement.
