The recommended PCB layout for the MAX31865EEUT involves keeping the thermocouple traces as short as possible, using a dedicated ground plane, and avoiding running digital signals near the thermocouple inputs. A 4-layer PCB with a dedicated analog ground plane is recommended. Maxim provides a reference layout in the datasheet.
The MAX31865EEUT has an internal CJC sensor that measures the temperature of the IC. The device then uses this temperature to compensate for the cold junction effect. No external CJC circuitry is required. However, it's essential to ensure good thermal coupling between the IC and the cold junction.
The maximum cable length for the thermocouple inputs of the MAX31865EEUT depends on the type of thermocouple, cable quality, and noise environment. As a general guideline, Maxim recommends keeping the cable length below 10 meters for optimal performance. However, longer cable lengths can be used with proper shielding and noise filtering.
The MAX31865EEUT does not require calibration for temperature readings. The device has an internal calibration that is performed during manufacturing. However, it's essential to ensure that the thermocouple is properly connected and that the device is operated within its specified temperature range.
Noise can affect the accuracy of the MAX31865EEUT's temperature readings. To minimize the impact of noise, it's essential to use proper shielding, grounding, and noise filtering techniques. The device also has an internal noise filter that helps to reduce the effects of noise on the temperature readings.
