MCP9700 Temperature-to-Voltage Converter PICtail Demo Board
The MCP9700 Temperature-to-Voltage Converter PICtail™ Demo Board (MCP9700DM-PCTL) demonstrates how to interface the MCP9700 to a PICmicro® microcontroller using the PICkit™ 1 Flash Starter Kit as a platform. A PIC16F676 14-pin, Flash-based, 8-bit CMOS microcontroller device is included with the demo board that can be used with the PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit, along with firmware that provides the interface to the MCP9700 Temperature-to-Voltage Converter PICtail™ Demo Board and the voltage-to-temperature conversion routines.
The MCP9700 Temperature-to-Voltage Converter PICtail™ Demo Board can also be used as a “stand-alone” module to quickly add thermal sensing capability to any existing application. This basic sensor functionality is implemented on a small Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and an interface via a standard 100 mil header.
Applications: Hard Disk Drives and Other PC Peripherals, Entertainment Systems, Home Appliance, Office Equipment, Battery Packs and Portable Equipment, General Purpose Temperature Monitoring
