Kit Features
Features of CY8CKIT-025CY8CKIT-025:
- The kit enables the designer to measure temperature accurately to a resolution of 0.1º C.
- The kit supports temperature measurement using four temperature sensors:
- Thermocouple
- Thermocouples measure temperatures in a wide range, from –250 °C to 2300 °C. However, the voltage change is not linear and takes more CPU cycles for temperature computation. Thermocouples require another temperature sensor, such as the thermistor, diode, or RTD, to measure the cold junction temperature. The DS600DS600 IC or the thermistor can be used for cold junction compensation of the thermocouple. A thermistor, diode, or RTD cannot measure temperatures greater than 850 °C. Thermocouples have a very good response time
- Thermistor
- Thermistors have a highly nonlinear curve and take more CPU cycles for temperature computation. They measure temperature in the range –100 °C to 200 °C. Thermistors have a good response time and they are less expensive when compared to RTDs and thermocouples.
- Resistive Temperature Detector (RTD)
- RTDs have a linear and repeatable resistance variation with temperature, making it easier to compute temperature accurately. They measure temperature from –200 °C to 850 °C. RTDs are expensive due to their linearity and accuracy. RTDs have a lower response time compared to a thermistor or thermocouple.
- Diode
Diodes are the cheapest sensors for temperature measurement. They measure temperature in the range –50 °C to 150 °C. Accurate temperature measurement is difficult with a diode.
- Thermocouple
- Cypress’s PSoC programmable system-on-chip architecture gives you the freedom to not only imagine revolutionary new products, but the capability to also get those products to market faster than anyone else.
Temperature Sensor Comparison:
