The MIC384-2YM-TR is a type of temperature sensor with both analog and digital outputs. It is commonly used in industrial and process automation applications, as it offers monitoring and control of temperature in a wide range of applications. It uses a two-wire transmitter which converts temperature to a voltage signal or digital output, depending on the application.

The MIC384-2YM-TR contains a high-precision thermistor which can accurately measure temperature from -50 to 150°C. This thermistor is connected to the two-wire transmitter, which is then connected to either an analog voltage divider or a digital isolator. Depending on the application, the transmitter will then output either an analog signal or a digital signal.

Analog Output

The MIC384-2YM-TR is often used with a voltage divider. In this setup, the thermistor output is connected to a voltage divider circuit that converts the temperature into a voltage. This voltage is used as an input into an analog-to-digital converter, which then outputs the temperature as a numerical value. This value can then be used to control processes, such as shutting off a motor if the temperature gets too high.

Digital Output

The MIC384-2YM-TR can also be used with a digital isolator. In this setup, the thermistor output is connected to a digital isolator circuit using a two-wire bus. The digital isolator converts the temperature into a digital signal, which is then output as either a 2-wire or 4-wire communication protocol. This signal can then be used to send the temperature value to a device over long distances, such as to a control room.

Applications

The MIC384-2YM-TR is commonly used in a variety of applications, such as HVAC systems, food and beverage processing, and industrial and process automation. It is often used to monitor and control temperature in processes such as cooling, heating, and drying.

It offers high precision temperature reading with both analog and digital outputs, and its wide range of operating temperatures makes it suitable for a variety of applications. Additionally, its two-wire transmitter can be used for communications over long distances, eliminating the need for additional wiring and reducing installation costs.
