Convert thermocouple EMF to degree Celsius with cold-junction compensation

Microchip Technology's MCP9600 thermocouple EMF to temperature converter is now available from Mouser stock. The device converts thermocouple EMF to degree Celsius with integrated cold-junction compensation. It corrects the thermocouple nonlinear error characteristics of eight thermocouple types and outputs ±1.5C accurate temperature data for the selected thermocouple. The correction coefficients are derived from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) ITS-90 Thermocouple Database. The MCP9600 digital temperature sensor comes with user-programmable registers which provide design flexibility for various temperature sensing applications.
