Both the IR sensitive thermopile detector chip and the signal conditioning ASSP are integrated in the same TO-39 can. Thanks to its low noise amplifier, 17-bit ADC and powerful DSP unit, a high accuracy and resolution of the thermometer is achieved. The thermometer comes factory calibrated with a digital PWM and SMBus output. As a standard, the 10-bit PWM is configured to continuously transmit the measured temperature in range of -20 to 120 ˚C, with an output resolution of 0.14 ˚C. The POR default is SMBus interface Vdd GND Vdd 3 C1 0.1uF CON1 C1 value and type may differ in different applications for optimum EMC MLX90614 connection to SMBus Figure 1 Typical application schematics 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 1 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 MLX90614 family General description (continued) The MLX90614 is built from 2 chips developed and manufactured by Melexis: The Infra Red thermopile detector MLX81101. The signal conditioning ASSP MLX90302, specially designed to process the output of IR sensor. The device is available in an industry standard TO-39 package. Thanks to the low noise amplifier, high resolution 17-bit ADC and powerful DSP unit of MLX90302 high accuracy and resolution of the thermometer is achieved. The calculated object and ambient temperatures are available in RAM of MLX90302 with resolution of 0.01 ˚C. They are accessible by 2 wire serial SMBus compatible protocol (0.02° resolution) or via 10-bit PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) output of the device. C The MLX90614 is factory calibrated in wide temperature ranges: -40 to 125 ˚C for the ambient temperature and -70 to 382.2 ˚C for the object temperature. The 10-bit PWM is as a standard configured to transmit continuously the measured object temperature for an object temperature range of -20 to 120 ˚C with an output resolution of 0.14 ˚C. The PWM can be easily customized for virtually any range desired by customer by changing the content of 2 EEPROM cells. This has no effect on the factory calibration of the device. The PWM pin can also be configured to act as a thermal relay (input is To), thus allowing for an easy and cost effective implementation in thermostats or temperature (freezing/boiling) alert applications. The temperature threshold is user programmable. In an SMBus system this feature can act as a processor interrupt that can trigger reading all slaves on the bus and to determine the precise condition. As a standard, the MLX90614 is calibrated for an object emissivity of 1. It can be easily customized by the customer for any other emissivity in the range 0.1-1.0 without the need of recalibration with a black body. The thermometer is available in 2 supply voltage options: 5V compatible or 3V (battery) compatible. The 5V can be easily adopted to operate from a higher supply voltage (8-16V, for example) by use of few external components (refer to “Applications information” section for details). An optical filter (long-wave pass) that cuts off the visible and near infra-red radiant flux is integrated in the package to provide sunlight immunity. 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 2 of 35 Data Sheet

Maximum number of MLX90614xxx devices on one bus is 127, higher pullup currents are recommended for higher number of devices, faster bus data transfer rates, and increased reactive loading of the bus. MLX90614xxx is always a slave device on the bus. MLX90614xxx can work in both low-power and high-power SMBus communication. All voltage are with respect to the Vss (ground) unless otherwise noted.

The ASSP supports 2 IR sensors (second one not implemented in the MLX90614xAx).The output of the IR sensors is amplified by a low noise low offset chopper amplifier with programmable gain, converted by a Sigma Delta modulator to a single bit stream and fed to a powerful DSP for further processing. The signal is treated by programmable (by means of EEPROM contend) FIR and IIR low pass filters for further reduction of the band width of the input signal to achieve the desired noise performance and refresh rate. The output of the IIR filter is the measurement result and is available in the internal RAM. 3 different cells are available: One for the on-board temperature sensor (on chip PTAT or PTC) and 2 for the IR sensors. Based on results of the above measurements, the corresponding ambient temperature Ta and object temperatures To are calculated. Both calculated temperatures have a resolution of 0.01 ˚C. The data for Ta and To can be read in two ways: Reading RAM cells dedicated for this purpose via the 2-wire interface (0.02° resolution, fixed ranges), or through the PWM digital output (10 bit resolution, configurable range). C In the last step of the measurement cycle, the measured Ta and To are rescaled to the desired output resolution of the PWM) and the recalculated data is loaded in the registers of the PWM state machine, which creates a constant frequency with a duty cycle representing the measured data. 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 10 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 7.3 Block description 7.3.1 Amplifier A low noise low offset amplifier with programmable gain is implemented for amplification of the IR sensor voltage. With a carefully designed input modulator and balanced input impedance, an offset as low as 0.5µ V is achieved. MLX90614 family 7.3.2 Supply regulator and POR The module can operate from 2 different supplies: VDD= 5V => MLX90614Axx VDD=3.3V => MLX90614Bxx (battery or regulated supply) Refer to “Applications information” section for information about adopting higher voltage supplies. The Power On Reset (POR) is connected to Vdd supply. The on-chip POR circuit provides an active (high) level of the POR signal when the Vdd voltage rises above approximately 0.5V and holds the entire MLX90614xxx in reset until the Vdd is higher than the specified POR threshold VPOR (note that this level is different for MLX90614Axx and MLX90614Bxx). During the time POR is active, the POR signal is available as an open drain (active high) at the PWM/SDA pin. After the MLX90614xxx exits the POR condition, the function programmed in EEPROM takes precedence for that pin. 7.3.3 EEPROM A limited number of addresses in the EEPROM memory can be changed by the customer.

This pin has the auxiliary function for building an external voltage regulator. When the external voltage regulator is used, the 2-wire protocol is available only if the power supply regulator is overdriven. PWM/SDA – Digital input/output, used for both the PWM output of the measured object temperature(s) or the digital input/output for the SMBus. The pin can be programmed in EEPROM to operate as Push/Pull or open drain NMOS (open drain NMOS is factory default). 7.4.1 Functional description The SMBus interface is a 2-wire protocol, allowing communication between the Master Device (MD) and one or more Slave Devices (SD). In the system only one master can be presented at any given time [1]. The MLX90614 can only be used as a slave device. Generally, the MD initiates the start of data transfer by selecting a SD through the Slave Address (SA). The MD has read access to the RAM and EEPROM and write access to 9 EEPROM cells (at addresses 0x20h, 0x21h, 0x22h, 0x23h, 0x24h, 0x25h*, 0x2Eh, 0x2Fh, 0x39h). If the access to the MLX90614 is a read operation it will respond with 16 data bits and 8 bit PEC only if its own slave address, programmed in internal EEPROM, is equal to the SA, sent by the master. The SA feature allows connecting up to 127 devices with only 2 wires, unless the system has some of the specific features described in paragraph 5.2 of reference [1]. In order to provide access to any device or to assign an address to a SD before it is connected to the bus system, the communication must start with zero SA followed by low RWB bit. When this command is sent from the MD, the MLX90614 will always respond and will ignore the internal chip code information. Special care must be taken not to put two MLX90614 devices with the same SD addresses on the same bus as MLX90614 does not support ARP[1]. The MD can force the MLX90614 into low consumption mode “sleep mode” (3V version only). Read flags like “EEBUSY” (1 – EEPROM is busy with executing the previous write/erase), “EE_DEAD” (1 – there is fatal EEPROM error and this chip is not functional**). Note*: This address is readable and writable. Bit 3 should not be altered as this will cancel the factory calibration. Note**: EEPROM error signalling is implemented in automotive grade parts only. 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 13 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 7.4.2 Differences with the standard SMBus specification (reference [1]) There are eleven command protocols for standard SMBus interface. The MLX90614 supports only two of them. Not supported commands are: • Quick Command • Byte commands - Sent Byte, Receive Byte, Write Byte and Read Byte • Process Call • Block commands – Block Write and Write-Block Read Process Call Supported commands are: • Read Word • Write Word MLX90614 family 7.4.3 Detailed description The PWM/SDA pin of MLX90614 can operate also as PWM output, depending on the EEPROM settings. If PWM is enabled, after POR the PWM/SDA pin is directly configured as PWM output. The PWM mode can be avoided and the pin can be restored to its Data function by a special command. That is why hereafter both modes are treated separately. 7.4.3.1 Bus Protocol 1 S S Sr Rd Wr A S PEC 7 Slave Address Start Condition 1 1 8 Data Byte 1 A 1 P Wr A Repeated Start Condition Read (bit value of 1) Write (bit value of 0) Acknowledge (this bit can be 0 for ACK and 1 for NACK) Stop Condition Packet Error Code Master-to-Slave Slave-to-Master Figure 4: SMBus packet element key After every 8 bits received by the SD an ACK/NACK takes place. When a MD initiates communication, it first sends the address of the slave and only the SD which recognizes the address will ACK the rest will remain silent. If the SD NACKs one of the bytes, the MD should stop the communication and repeat the message. A NACK could be received after the PEC. This means that there is error in the received message and the MD should try sending the message again. The PEC calculation includes all bits except the START, REPEATED START, STOP, ACK, and NACK bits. The PEC is a CRC-8 with polynomial X8+X2+X1+1. The Most Significant Bit of every byte is transferred first. 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 14 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 7.4.3.1.1 Read Word (depending on the command – RAM or EEPROM) 1 S 7 Slave Address 1 1 8 Command 1 1 7 Slave Address 1 1 MLX90614 family Wr A A Sr Rd A ……….. 8 8 A 8 Data Byte High 8 A 8 PEC 1 A 1 P ………..

The maximum frequency of the MLX90614 SMBus is 100KHz and the minimum is 10KHz. The specific timings in MLX90614’s SMBus are: SMBus Request (tREQ ) i s the time that the SCL should be forced low in order to switch MLX90614 from PWM mode to SMBus mode; Timeout L i s the maximum allowed time for SCL to be low. After this time the MLX90614 will reset its communication block and will be ready for new communication; Timeout H is the maximum time for which it is allowed for SCL to be high during communication. After this time MLX90614 will reset its communication block assuming that the bus is idle (according to the SMBus specification). Tsuac(SD) i s the time after the eighth falling edge of SCL that MLX90614 will force PWM/SDA low to acknowledge the last received byte. Thdac(SD) i s the time after the ninth falling edge of SCL that MLX90614 will release the PWM/SDA (so the MD can continue with the communication). Tsuac(MD) is the time after the eighth falling edge of SCL that MLX90614 will release PWM/SDA (so that the MD can acknowledge the last received byte). Thdac(MD) is the time after the ninth falling edge of SCL that MLX90614 will take control of the PWM/SDA (so it can continue with the next byte to transmit). 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 15 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 The indexes MD and SD for the latest timings are used – MD when the master device is making acknowledge; SD when the slave device is making acknowledge).

The data is fetched by both MD and SDs on the rising edge of the SCL. 7.4.6 Commands In application mode RAM and EEPROM can be read both with 32x16 sizes. If the RAM is read, the data are divided by two, due to a sign bit in RAM (for example, TOBJ1 - RAM address 0x07h will sweep between 0x27ADh to 0x7FFF as the object temperature rises from -70.01° to +382.19° The MSB read from RAM C C). is an error flag (active high) for the linearized temperatures (TOBJ1, TOBJ2 and Ta). The MSB for the raw data (e.g. IR sensor1 data) is a sign bit (sign and magnitude format). Opcode Command 000x xxxx* RAM Access 001x xxxx* EEPROM Access 1111_0000** Read Flags 1111_1111 Enter SLEEP mode Note*: The xxxxx are the 5 LSBits of the memory map address to be read/written. Note**: Behaves like read command. The MLX90614 returns PEC after 16 bits data of which only 4 are meaningful and if the MD wants it, it can stop the communication after the first byte. The difference between read and read flags is that the latter does not have a repeated start bit. Flags read are: Data[15] – EEBUSY – the previous write/erase EEPROM access is still in progress. High active. Data[14] – Unused Data[13] - EE_DEAD – EEPROM double error has occurred. High active. Data[12] – INIT – POR initialization routine is still ongoing. High active. Data[11] – not implemented.. Data[10..0] – all zeros. Flags read is a diagnostic feature. The MLX90614 can be used regardless of these flags. 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 16 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 7.4.7 Sleep Mode MLX90614 can enter Sleep Mode via command “Enter SLEEP mode” sent via the SMBus interface. This mode is not available for the 5V supply version. To limit the current consumption to 2.5uA (typ), the SCL pin should be kept low during sleep. MLX90614 goes back into power-up default mode (via POR reset) by setting SCL pin high and then PWM/SDA pin low for at least tDDq=13ms. If EEPROM is configured for PWM (EN_PWM is high), the PWM interface will be selected after awakening and if PWM control [2], PPODB is 1 the MLX90614 will output a PWM pulse train with push-pull output.

Selection of PWM output is done in EEPROM configuration (factory default is PWM). PWM output has two programmable formats, single and dual data transmission, providing single wire reading of two temperatures (dual zone object or object and ambient). The PWM period is derived from the on-chip oscillator and is programmable.

The temperature reading can be calculated from the signal timing as: Tout = 2t2 * (Tmax − Tmin) + Tmin , T where Tmin and Tmax are the corresponding rescale coefficients in EEPROM for the selected temperature output (Ta, object temperature range is valid for both Tobj1 and Tobj2 as specified in the previous table) and T is the PWM period. Tout is Tobj1, Tobj2 or Ta according to Config Register [5:4] settings. 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 18 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 The different time intervals t1-t3 have the following functions: t1: Start buffer. During this time the signal is always high. t1 = 0.125*T (T is the PWM period, refer to fig. 11). t2: Valid Data Output Band, 0 to 1/2T. PWM output data resolution is 10 bit. t3: Error band – information for Fatal error in EEPROM (double error detected, not correctable). t3 = 0.25 * T. Therefore a PWM pulse train with a duty cycle of 0.875 will indicate a fatal error in EEPROM (for single PWM format). E xample: Tobj1 => Config Reg[5:4] = 11’b Tomin = 0° C => Tomin [EEPROM] = 100 * (tomin + 273.15) = 6AB3h C => Tomax [EEPROM] = 100 * (tomax + 273.15) = 7E3Bh Tomax = +50° Captured PWM high duration is 0.495*T => t2=(0.495 – 0.125)*T=0.370*T => measured object temperature = 2X0.370* (50° -0° C C)+0° = +37.0° C C. MLX90614 family 7.5.2 Extended PWM format The PWM format for extended PWM is shown in Figure 11. Note that with bits DUAL[5:1]>00h each period will be repeated 2N+1 times, where N is the decimal value of the number written in DUAL[5:1] (DUAL[5:1] =PWM control & clock [8:4] ), like shown on Figure 12. Figure 12: Extended PWM format with DUAL[5:1] = 01h (2 repetitions for each data) The temperature transmitted in Data 1 field can be calculated using the following equation: Tout1 = For Data 2 field the equation is: 2t 2 * (Tmax1 − Tmin1 ) + Tmin1 T 2t 5 * (Tmax2 − Tmin2 ) + Tmin2 T Tout2 = Where Tmin1,Tmax1,Tmin2 and Tmax2 are given in Table 9, t2=thigh1-t1, and t5=thigh2-t4. Time bands are: t1=0.125*T, t3=0.25*T and t4=1.125*T. As shown in Figure 11, in extended PWM format the period is twice the period for the single PWM format. All equations provided herein are given for the single PWM period T. The EEPROM Error band signalling will be 43.75% duty cycle for Data1 and 93.75% for Data2. Note:EEPROM error signalling is implemented in automotive grade parts only. E xample: Configuration: Ta : Tobj1 @ Data1 : Data2 => Config Reg[5:4] = 00b, Tamin = - 5° C => Tarange, L [EEPROM] = 100*(Tamin+38.2)/64 = 33h, Tamax = +105° C => Tarange,H [EEPROM] = 100*(Tamax+38.2)/64 = DFh, Tarange [EEPROM]=DF33h Tomin = 0° C => Tomin [EEPROM] = 100 * (Tomin + 273.15)/64 = 6AB3h Tomax = +50° C => Tomax [EEPROM] = 100 * (Tomax + 273.15)/64 = 7E3Bh Captured high durations are 0.13068*(2T) and 0.7475*(2T), where 2T is each captured PWM period. Time band t4 is provided for reliable determination between Data1 and Data2 data fields. Thus Data1 is represented by 0.13068*(2T) and Data2 – by 0.7475*(2T), and the temperatures can be calculated as follows: t2/T=(thigh1/T)-0.125=0.13636 => Ta=+25.0° C, t5/T=( thigh2/T)-1.125=0.370 => Tobj1=+37.0° C. 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 19 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 7.5.3 Customizing the temperature range for PWM output The calculated ambient and object temperatures are stored in RAM with a resolution of 0.01 ° (16 bit). The C PWM operates with a 10-bit word so the transmitted temperature is rescaled in order to fit in the desired range. For this goal 2 cells in EEPROM are foreseen to store the desired range for To (Tomin and Tomax) and one for Ta (Tarange: the 8MSB are foreseen for Tamax and the 8LSB for Tamin). Thus the output range for To can be programmed with an accuracy of 0.01 ° while the corresponding Ta C, range can be programmed with an accuracy of 2.56 ° C. The object data for PWM is rescaled according to the following equation: MLX90614 family TPWM obj = TRAM − TMIN EEPROM K PWM obj , K PWM obj = TMAX EEPROM − TMIN EEPROM 1023 C C) The TRAM i s the linearised Tobj, 16-bit (0000…FFFFh, 0000 for -273.15° and FFFFh for +382.2° and the result is a 10-bit word, in which 000h corresponds to ToMIN[° 3FFh corresponds to ToMAX[° and 1LSB C], C] corresponds to TMIN EEPORM ToMAX − ToMIN [° C] 1023 = TMIN ∗ 100 LSB TMAX EEPORM = TMAX ∗ 100 LSB The ambient data for PWM is rescaled according to the following equation: TPWM ambient = TRAM − TMIN EEPROM K PWM ambient , K PWM ambient = TMAX EEPROM − TMIN EEPROM 1023 The result is a 10-bit word, where 000h corresponds to -38.2 ° (lowest Ta that can be read via PWM), 3FFh C corresponds to 125 ° (highest Ta that can be read via PWM) and 1LSB corresponds to C TMIN EEPORM = [TMIN − (− 38.2 )] ∗ TMAX EEPORM = [TMAX 100 LSB 64 100 − (− 38.2)] ∗ LSB 64 TMAX − TMIN [° C] 1023 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 20 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 7.6 Switching Between PWM and SMBus communication 7.6.1 PWM is enabled The diagram below illustrates the way of switching to SMBus if PWM is enabled (factory programmed POR default for MLX90614 is SMBus, PWM enabled).

Once disabled PWM, it can be only enabled by switching Off-On of the supply or exit from Sleep Mode. The MLX90614’s SMBus request condition requires forcing LOW the SCL pin for period longer than the request time (tREQ). The SDA line value is ignored in this case. 7.6.3 PWM is disabled If PWM is disabled by means of EEPROM the PWM/SDA pin is directly used for the SMBus purposes after POR. Request condition should not be sent in this case. 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 21 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 7.7 Computation of ambient and object temperatures The IR sensor consists of serial connected thermo-couples with cold junctions placed at thick chip substrate and hot junctions, placed over thin membrane. The IR radiation absorbed from the membrane heats (or cools) it. The thermopile output signal is MLX90614 family Vir (Ta, To ) = A. To 4 − Ta 4 , Where To is the object temperature absolute (Kelvin) temperature, Ta is the sensor die absolute (Kelvin) temperature, and A is the overall sensitivity. An additional temperature sensor is needed for measuring the temperature of the chip temperature. After measurement of the output of both sensors, the corresponding ambient and object temperatures can be calculated. These calculations are done by the internal DSP, which produces digital outputs, linearly proportional to measured temperatures. ( ) 7.7.1 Ambient temperature Ta The Sensor die temperature is measured with a PTC or a PTAT element. All the sensors’ conditioning and data processing is handled on-chip and the linearized sensor die temperatureTa is made available in memory.

The input for the comparator unit of the relay is the object temperature from sensor 1 The output of the MLX90614 is NOT a relay driver but a logical output which should be connected to a relay driver if necessary. In order to configure the MLX90614 to work as thermal relay two conditions must be met: o Set bit TRPWMB high at address 002h in EEPROM o Enable PWM output i.e. EN_PWM is set high The PWM/SDA pin can be programmed as a push-pull or open drain NMOS (via bit PPODB in EEPROM PWMCTRL), which can trigger an external device. The temperature threshold data is determined by EEPORM at address 021h (Tomin) and the hysteresis at address 020h (Tomax). The logical state of the PWM/SDA pin is as follows: PWM/SDA pin is high if Tobj 1 ≥ threshold + hysteresis PWM/SDA pin is low if Tobj 1 ≤ threshold − hysteresis “1” hysteresis “0” threshold hysteresis MLX90614 family T Figure 16: Thermal relay : “PWM” pin versus Tobj The MLX90614 preserves its normal operation when configured as a thermal relay (PWM configuration and specification applies as a general rule also for the thermal relay) and therefore it can be read using the SMBus (entering the SMBus mode from both PWM and thermal relay configuration is the same). For example, the MLX90614 can generate a wake-up alert for a system upon reaching a certain temperature and then be read as a thermometer. A reset condition (enter-and exit Sleep, for example) will be needed in order to return to the thermal relay configuration. E xample: threshold 5 ° => (5 + 273.15 )*100 = 27815 = 6CA7h C hysteresis is 1° => 1 * 100 = 100 = 64h C PWM/SDA pin will be low at object temperature below 4 ° C PWM/SDA pin will be high at object temperature higher that 6 ° C 8 Unique Features The MLX90614 is a ready-to use low-cost non contact thermometer provided from Melexis with output data linearly dependent on the object temperature with high accuracy and extended resolution. It supports versatile customization to a very wide range of temperatures, power supplies and refresh rates. The user can program the internal object emissivity correction for objects with a low emissivity. An embedded error checking and correction mechanism provides high memory reliability. The sensors is housed in an industry standard TO39 package for both single- and dual-zone IR thermometers. The thermometer is available in automotive grade and can use two different packages for wider applications’ coverage. The low power consumption and sleep mode make the thermometer ideally suited for handheld mobile applications. The digital sensor interface can be either a power-up-and-measure PWM or an enhanced access SMBus compatible protocol. Systems with more than 100 devices can be built with only two signal lines. Dual zone non contact temperatures measurements available via a single line (extended PWM). A built-in thermal relay function further extends the easy implementation of wide variety of freezing/boiling prevention and alert systems, as well as thermostats (no MCU is needed). 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 24 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 9 Performance Graphs 9.1 Temperature accuracy of the MLX90601AAA 380 To,oC MLX90614 family ± 4 oC 300 240 ± 4 oC ± 3 oC 180 ± 4 oC ± 3 oC ± 2 oC ± 2 oC ± 2 oC 120 ± 3 oC ± 2 oC ± 1 oC ± 1 oC ± 2 oC 60 ± 2 oC ± 1 oC ± 0.5 oC ± 1 oC ± 2 oC 0 ± 3 oC ± 1 oC ± 1 oC ± 2 oC ± 3 oC -40 ± 3 oC ± 3 oC ± 2 oC ± 3 oC ± 4 oC -70 -40 -20 0 50 100 125 Ta,oC Figure 17: Preliminary accuracy of MLX90601AAA (Ta,To) All accuracy specifications apply under settled isothermal conditions only. 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 25 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 A version of the MLX90614 with accuracy suited for medical applications is available upon request.

Current source pull-ups may be preferred with higher capacitive loading on the bus (C3 and C4 represent the lines’ parasitics), while simple resistive pull-ups provide the obvious low cost advantage. 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 28 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 10.3 Thermal alert / thermostat +5V + +3.3V D1 Alert dev ice R1 R2 2 PW M SDA 3 Vdd SCL 1 Vz Vss 4 MLX90614Axx 3 Vdd Vss 4 2 P WM SDA SCL 1 Vz MLX90614Bxx MLX90614 family +24V R2 Q1 R1 U1 Vdd MCU 2 PW M SDA 3 Vdd Vss 4 SMBus SDA SCL GND U2 AC line C2 10uF C3 0.1uF SCL 1 Vz U1 MLX90614Axx C1 U1 0.1uF C1 U1 0.1uF C* figure 24: Possible thermal relay configurations. The MLX90614 can be configured in EEPROM to operate as a thermal relay. A non contact freezing or boiling prevention with 1 mA quiescent current can be built with two components only – the MLX90614 and a capacitor. The PWM/SDA pin can be programmed as a push-pull or open drain NMOS, which can trigger external device, such as a relay (refer to electrical specifications for load capability), buzzer, RF transmitter or a LED. This feature allows very simple thermostats to be built without the need of any MCU and zero design overhead required for firmware development. In conjunction with a MCU, this function can operate as a system alert that wakes up the MCU. Both object temperature and sensor die temperature can be also read in this configuration. 10.4 High voltage source operation As a standard, the module MLX90614Axx works with a supply voltage of 5Volt. In addition, thanks to the integrated internal reference regulator available at pin SCL/Vz, this module can easily be powered from higher voltage source (like VDD=8… 16V). Only a few external components as depicted in the diagram below are required to achieve this.

When the zener diode function of the SCL/Vz pin is used, the 2-wire SMBus function is only available if the voltage regulator is overdriven (5V regulated power is forced to the VDD pin). 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 29 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 11 Application Comments Significant contamination at the optical input side (sensor filter) might cause unknown additional filtering/distortion of the optical signal and therefore result in unspecified errors. IR sensors are inherently susceptible to errors caused by thermal gradients. There are physical reasons for that phenomena and, in spite of the careful design of the MLX90614xxx, it is recommended not to subject the MLX90614 to heat transfer and especially transient conditions. MLX90614 family Upon power-up the MLX90614 passes embedded checking and calibration routines. During these routines the output is not defined and it is recommended to wait for the specified POR time before reading the module. Very slow power-up may cause the embedded POR circuitry trigger on inappropriate levels, resulting in unspecified operation and is not recommended. The MLX90614xxx is designed and calibrated to operate as a non contact thermometer in settled conditions. Using the module in very different way will result in unknown results. Capacitive loading on a SMBus can degrade the communication. Some improvement is possible with use of current sources compared to resistors in pull-up circuitry. Further improvement is possible with specialized commercially available bus accelerators. With the MLX90614xxx additional improvement is possible with increasing the pull-up current (decreasing the pull-up resistor values). Input levels for SMBus compatible mode have higher overall tolerance than the SMBus specification, but the output low level is rather low even with the high-power SMBus specification for pull-up currents. Another option might be to go for a slower communication (clock speed), as the MLX90614xxx implements Schmidt triggers on it’s inputs in SMBus compatible mode and is therefore not really sensitive to rise time of the bus (it is more likely the rise time to be an issue than the fall time, as far as the SMBus systems are open drain with pull-up). For ESD protection there are clamp diodes between the Vss and Vdd and each of the other pins. This means that the MLX90614 might draw current from a bus in case the SCL and/or SDA is connected and the Vdd is lower than the bus pull-ups’ voltage. In 12V powered systems SMBus usage is constrained because the SCL pin is used for the zener diode function. Therefore, higher than 5V applications are likely to use PWM output or external regulator. Nevertheless, in the 12V powered applications MLX90614 can be programmed (configured and customized) by forcing the Vdd to 5V externally and running the SMBus communication. Sleep mode is available in MLX90614Bxx. This mode is entered and exited via the SMBus compatible 2-wire communication. On the other hand, the extended functionality of the SCL pin yields in increased leakage current through that pin. As a result, this pin needs to be forced low in power-down mode and the pull-up on the SCL line needs to be disabled in order to keep the overall power drain in power-down really small. The PWM pin is not designed for direct drive of inductive loads (such as electro-magnetic relays). Some driver needs to be implemented for higher load, and auxiliary protection might be necessary even for light but inductive loading. It is possible to use the MLX90614xxx in applications, powered directly from the AC line (trasformerless). In such cases it is very important not to forget that the metal package of the sensor is not isolated and therefore may occur to be connected to that line, too. Melexis can not be responsible for any application like this and highly recommends not to use the MLX90614xxx in that way. Power dissipation within the package may affect performance in two ways: by heating the “ambient” sensitive element significantly beyond the actual ambient temperature, as well as by causing gradients over the package that will inherently cause thermal gradient over the cap. Loading the outputs also causes increased power dissipation. In case of using the MLX90614Axx internal zener voltage feature, the regulating external transistor should also not cause heating of the TO39 package. 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 30 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 High capacitive load on a PWM line will result in significant charging currents from the power supply, bypassing the capacitor and therefore causing EMC, noise, level degradation and power dissipation problems. A simple option is adding a series resistor between the PWM/SDA pin and the capacitive loaded line, in which case timing specifications have to be carefully reviewed. For example, with a PWM output that is set to 1.024 ms and the output format that is 11 bit, the time step is 0.5 µ s and a settling time of 2 µ s would introduce a 4 LSBs error.

MLX90614 family 13 FAQ When I measure aluminium and plastic parts settled at the same conditions I get significant errors on aluminium. Why? Different materials have different emissivity. A typical value for aluminium (roughly polished) is 0.18 and for plastics values of 0.84… 0.95 are typical. IR thermometers use the radiation flux between the sensitive element in the sensor and the object of interest, given by the equation q = ε 1 .α 1 . T1 .σ . A1 .Fa−b − ε 2 . T2 .σ . A2 , 4 4 () () where 1 and 2 are the emissivities of the two objects, 1 is the absorptivity of the sensor (in this case), is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, A1 and A2 are the surface areas involved in the radiation heat transfer, Fa-b i s the shape factor, T1 and T2 are known temperature of the sensor die (measured with specially integrated and calibrated element) and the object temperature that we need. Note that these are all in Kelvin, heat exchange knows only physics. When a body with low emissivity (such as aluminium) is involved in this heat transfer, the portion of the radiation incident to the sensor element that really comes from the object of interest decreases – and the reflected environmental IR emissions take place. (This is all for bodies with zero transparency in the IR band.) The IR thermometer is calibrated to stay within specified accuracy – but it has no way to separate the incoming IR radiation into real object and reflected environmental part. Therefore, measuring objects with low emissivity is a very sophisticated issue and infra-red measurements of such materials is a specialised field. What can be done to solve that problem? Look at paintings – for example, oil paints are likely to have emissivity of 0.85…0.95 – but keep in mind that the stability of the paint emissivity has inevitable impact on measurements. It is also a good point to keep in mind that not everything that looks black is “black” also for IR. For example, even heavily oxidized aluminium has still emissivity as low as 0.30. How high is enough? Not an easy question – but, in all cases the closer you need to get to the real object temperature the higher the needed emissivity will be, of course. With the real life emissivity values the environmental IR comes into play via the reflectivity of the object (the sum of Emissivity, Reflectivity and Absorptivity gives 1.00 for any material). The larger the difference between environmental and object temperature is at given reflectivity (with an opaque for IR material reflectivity equals 1.00 minus emissivity) the bigger errors it produces. After I put the MLX90614 in the dashboard I start getting errors larger than specified in spite that the module was working properly before that. Why? Any object present in the FOV of the module provides IR signal. It is actually possible to introduce error in the measurements if the module is attached to the dashboard with an opening that enters the FOV. In that case portion of the dashboard opening will introduce IR signal in conjunction with constraining the effective FOV and thus compromising specified accuracy. Relevant opening that takes in account the FOV is a must for accurate measurements. Note that the basic FOV specification takes 50% of IR signal as threshold (in order to define the area, where the measurements are relevant), while the entire FOV at lower level is capable of introducing lateral IR signal under many conditions. 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 32 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 When a hot (cold) air stream hits my MLX90614 some error adds to the measured temperature I read. What is it? IR sensors are inherently sensitive to difference in temperatures between the sensitive element and everything incident to that element. As a matter of fact, this element is not the sensor package, but the sensor die inside. Therefore, a thermal gradient over the sensor package will inevitably result in additional IR flux between the sensor package and the sensor die. This is real optical signal that can not be segregated from the target IR signal and will add errors to the measured temperature. Thermal gradients with impact of that kind are likely to appear during transient conditions. The sensor used is developed with care about sensitivity to this kind of lateral phenomena, but their nature demands some care when choosing place to use the MLX90614 in order to make them negligible. MLX90614 family I measure human body temperature and I often get measurements that significantly differ from the +37° I expect. C IR measurements are true surface temperature measurements. In many applications this means that the actual temperature measured by an IR thermometer will be temperature of the clothing and not the skin temperature. Emissivity (explained first in this section) is another issue with clothes that has to be considered. There is also the simple chance that the measured temperature is adequate – for example, in a cold winter human hand can appear at temperatures not too close to the well known +37° C. I consider using MLX90614AAA to measure temperature within car compartment, but I am embarrassed about the Sun light that may hit the module. Is it a significant issue? Special care is taken to cut off the visible light spectra as well as the NIR (near IR) before it reaches the sensitive sensor die. Even more, the glass (in most cases) is not transparent to the IR radiation used by the MLX90614. Glass has temperature and really high emissivity in most cases – it is “black” for IR of interest. Overall, Sun behind a window is most likely to introduce relatively small errors. Why is it not completely eliminated after all? Even visible light partially absorbed in the filter of the sensor has some heating potential – and there is no way that the sensor die will be “blind” for that heating right in front of it. 3901090614 Rev 1.0 Page 33 of 35 Data Sheet 14/Sep/2006 Single and Dual Zone Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39 MLX90614 family 14 Package Information The MLX90614 is packaged in an industry standard TO – 39 can.
