MLX90601

The MLX90601 Family modules are versatile IR thermometer modules, which perform signal conditioning, linearisation and ambient temperature compensation. The modules are built around the MLX90313 IR sensor interface, which uses high performance chopper stabilized amplifiers, providing excellent noise performance. The sensing element is the MLX90247 discrete IR thermopile sensor.

The modules MLX90601 are delivered factory calibrated. The output signals can be analog voltage outputs; PWM coded digital outputs, or a bidirectional SPI compatible serial interface. All output signals are linear with the applied temperature.

All modules feature the open drain relay driver output available in MLX90313. Several types of modules are available. First types are the modules for automotive applications, which have additional ESD protection circuitry on board. These modules can have an analog voltage output (MLX90601EZABAA), or a digital PWM coded output (MLX90601EZA-DAA). The substrate is in this case a FR4 PCB with a 5 pin through-hole connector.

Alternatively there are some modules targeted for industrial or consumer applications. These modules can have also analog outputs (MLX90601KZA-BKA) or PWM outputs (MLX90601KZA-CKA and MLX90601EZA-CAA).

All three modules have a SPI interface available for full programmability.

The MLX90601KZA-BKA and MLX90601KZACKA are built on a flexible polyamide substrate, making building in the sensor very easy. The user can choose now the most suited module depending on electrical and mechanical needs.
