Adafruit Thermocouple Amplifier with 1-Wire Breakout Board - MAX31850K

Experience precise temperature measurement with the MAX31850K 1-Wire Thermocouple Amplifier. This revolutionary device integrates seamlessly with any microcontroller supporting the 1-Wire interface, enabling comprehensive temperature monitoring with minimal wiring complexity.

The design incorporates a 3.3V regulator with 10uF bypass capacitors and a convenient pre-soldered 2-pin terminal block for simple K-type thermocouple attachment. Benefit from the flexibility of parasitic or local power options, and enjoy effortless data management on a single shared I/O line, perfect for environments where space and resource efficiency are paramount.

Technical specifications are impressive: operational capability ranges from -270°C to +1370°C in 0.25-degree increments, and its data format closely mimics the popular 1-Wire DS18B20 sensor. However, custom code changes are necessary for seamless compatibility. Accommodating voltages from 3.3 to 5V, it ensures robust performance while ensuring the data line remains at approximately 3.3V, making a level shifter indispensable to bridge voltage differences.

The MAX31850K stands as an optimized solution for high-density thermocouple arrays, markedly simplifying thermal acquisition and analysis with tailored libraries available for easy integration into Arduino platforms. Note its exclusivity to K-type thermocouples, underscoring its specialization in delivering precise thermal data for advanced technical applications.
