Analog Output K-Type Thermocouple Amplifier - AD8495 Breakout PRODUCT ID: 1778 DESCRIPTION - Thermocouples are very sensitive, requiring a good amplifier with a coldcompensation reference. We have a couple digital thermocouple amplifiers in the shop already from Maxim. Now we're happy to introduce an excellent analogoutput amplifier. This is a very simple sensor to use, and if your microcontroller has analog input capability, you'll be ready to go really fast! The AD8495 K-type thermocouple amplifier from Analog Devices is so easy to use, we documented the whole thing on the back of the tiny PCB. Power the board with 3-18VDC and measure the output voltage on the OUT pin. You can easily convert the voltage to temperature with the following equation: Temperature = (Vout 1.25) / 0.005 V. So for example, if the voltage is 1.5VDC, the temperature is (1.5 1.25) / 0.005 = 50°C Each order comes with a 2 pin terminal block (for connecting to the thermocouple), a fully assembled PCB with the AD8495 + TLVH431 1.25V precision voltage reference, and pin header (to plug into any breadboard or perfboard). Goes great with our 1m K-type thermocouple (not included). Not for use with any other kind of thermocouple, K type only! • • • • • Works with any K type thermocouple Will not work with any other kind of thermocouple other than K type Easy to use analog output Temp range with 5V power: -250°C to +750°C output (0 to 5VDC) Temp range with 3.3V power: -250°C to +410°C output (0 to 3.3VDC) http://www.adafruit.com/products/1778 10/7/2015 Technical Details AD8495 Datasheet Sensing Accuracy Range: ± 1°C around room temperature, ± 2°C for −25°C to +400°C Sensing Temperature Max: 400°C Sensing Temperature Min: -25°C Supply Voltage: 3-18VDC Dimensions: 20mm x 16mm x 2mm / 0.8" x 0.6" x 0.08" Weight: 1.1g
