Datasheet

This breakout does everything for you, and can be easily interfaced with any microcontroller, even one without an
analog input. This breakout board has the chip itself, a 3.3V regulator and level shifting circuitry, all assembled and
tested. Comes with a 2 pin terminal block (for connecting to the thermocouple) and pin header (to plug into any
breadboard or perfboard). We even added inline resistors and a filter capacitor onboard for better stability, as
recommended by Maxim. Goes great with our 1m K-type thermocouple (http://adafru.it/270) or any other thermocouple,
really!
Works with any K, J, N, R, S, T, E, or B type thermocouple
-210°C to +1800°C output in 0.0078125° resolution - note that many thermocouples have about ±2°C to ±6°C
accuracy or worse depending on the temperature and type, so the resolution will be a lot better than the
accuracy!
Internal temperature reading
3.3 to 5v power supply and logic level compliant!
SPI data requires any 4 digital I/O pins.
