MAX9924UAUB+

Introduction

The MAX9924UAUB+ is a highly integrated, low-power interface sensoring and detector among world-wide buyers. This system uses two voltage sources operating at the same frequency, allowing direct temperature measurements of both the upper and lower thermocouple ends. For example, with type K thermocouples, the MAX9924UAUB+ can measure up to 600°C for the cold junction and up to 1250°C for the hot junction. As a result, it is suitable for use in industrial, automotive, and medical applications.

Application Field

The MAX9924UAUB+ is designed for a variety of scenarios, including industrial, medical, and automotive applications. For industrial users, the MAX9924UAUB+ enables precise temperature measurements for temperatures up to 1250°C and for a wide range of temperatures. For medical applications, the MAX9924UAUB+ can be used to measure the hot and cold junction temperature when measuring body temperature. For automotive applications, the MAX9924UAUB+ is also suitable for engine temperature measurements either through the lower and upper thermocouple ends or using thermocouple modules.

Working Principle

The MAX9924UAUB+ is an integrated sensing and detecting device. It works by using two separate synchronous voltage sources that operate at the same frequency. These two sources detect both the upper and lower thermocouples simultaneously. The core of MAX9924UAUB+ consists of a pair of differential-input amplifiers. Each amplifier can process up to two pairs of thermocouples. The amplifier input has differential pairs of voltage sources that external load resistance. The connected circuits of thermocouples and voltage sources in series form a bridge configuration. Because of this, the bridge is able to measure temperatures up to 1250°C for type-K thermocouples. The MAX9924UAUB+ uses an advanced temperature-to-digital conversion circuit. The output of the thermocouple interface is a differential voltage signal. The signal is level shifted and converted to a single-ended one. This signal is sent to the integrated A/D converter, which can measure temperatures up to 1250°C with a resolution of up to 0.1°C. The output is then sent to the microcontroller to be analyzed and interpreted. The MAX9924UAUB+ has a low power consumption of only 500µA, which makes it suitable for battery-powered applications.
