MAX31855EVKIT# Datasheet PDF - Maxim Integrated

The MAX31855EVKIT# from Maxim Integrated Products is an evaluation kit for MAX31855 cold junction compensated thermocouple to digital converter. The MAX31855 performs cold junction compensation and digitizes the signal from K, J, N, T, S, R or E type thermocouples. The MAX31855 EV kit hardware provides everything needed to evaluate a K-type thermocouple. In addition to a thermocouple and MAX31855, the hardware includes a USB interface that is used to communicate with PC based software. An added feature is that the hardware is USB powered, meaning that no power supplies. The data is output in a signed 14bit, SPI compatible, read only format. The kit comes with a MAX31855KASA+ soldered to the PCB. This is the K-type thermocouple version of the MAX31855. Other thermocouple types can be evaluated by procuring the desired thermocouple, thermocouple socket and corresponding MAX31855.
