Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated IC CONV THERMOCOUPLE-DGTL 8SOIC MAX31855SASA+

The MAX31855SASA+ is a surface-mount, high-precision thermocouple-to-digital converter IC by Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices). It accurately measures temperature from K-type thermocouples and provides cold-junction compensation for reliable readings. This device communicates over a SPI interface, converting the thermocouple's millivolt signal to digital temperature data in Celsius or Fahrenheit. It features fault detection and is commonly used in industrial control systems, HVAC applications, and DIY projects requiring accurate temperature sensing.
