MLX90632 FIR sensor
Description
The MLX90632 is a non-contact infrared temperature sensor in a small SMD SFN package. The device is factory calibrated with calibration constants stored in the EEPROM memory. The ambient and object temperature can be calculated externally based on these calibration constants and the measurement data.
The MLX90632 is available in two different versions: standard and medical accuracy. Both versions are calibrated in the ambient temperature range from -20 to 85˚C. The difference between both versions is visible in accuracy and the object temperature range. The medical version is factory calibrated with an accuracy of ±0.2˚C within the narrow object temperature range from 35 to 42˚C for medical applications. The object temperature range is limited from -20 to 100˚C. On the other hand, the standard version covers an object temperature range from -20 to 200˚C but offers an accuracy of ±1˚C.
It is very important for the application designer to understand that these accuracies...
