Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated IC CONV THERMOCOUPLE-DGTL SOIC MAX31855KASA+T

The MAX31855KASA+T is a thermocouple-to-digital converter IC by Maxim Integrated (previously Dallas Semiconductor), designed for accurate temperature measurement with K-type thermocouples. This device integrates cold-junction compensation, an ADC, and SPI communication to provide digital temperature readings. It comes in an SOP-8 package and lacks inherent EMI protection, necessitating external shielding or filtering for reliable operation in noisy environments. Ideal for use with microcontrollers like the STM32F407, it offers a convenient solution for data acquisition in industrial and hobbyist applications requiring precise thermal monitoring.
