The MCP96RL01T-E/MX is a board mount temperature sensors with ± 8.0C thermocouple to I2C converter, manufactured by Microchip, in a 5mmx5mm QFN package. It features an OpensShorts pin detection, which detects open and short circuits, protecting the pins from damage. The device supports K J T N S E B and R type thermocouples. It is powered with a supply voltage ranging from 1.71V to 5.1V, with a maximum operating temperature of +125°C. The device features a programmable data rate output of 0.25Hz, 1Hz, 4Hz, 8Hz, 16Hz, 32Hz and 64Hz. It comes with high accuracy temperature measurement, with an accuracy of ± 0.5°C in the temperature range of -20°C to 85°C and a resolution of 0.0625°C. It is compatible with a wide range of thermocouples, and offers a simplified I2C interface.
