The Thermo 16 Click Board™ is specially designed so it retains the specified characteristics of the sensor IC. Equipped with this sophisticated, accurate and simple to use sensor IC, it can be used for measuring and monitoring the temperature in a whole range of applications, such as the PC case and other internal components temperature monitoring, office equipment, automotive infotainment and entertainment systems thermal monitoring, general purpose thermal measurement, and similar digital thermal measurement applications, that require a precise thermal measurement.
The active temperature sensing component on the Thermo 16 Click Board™ is the TMP235, a high accuracy temperature sensor IC Texas Instruments. The Click board™ itself has a reasonably small number of components because most of the measurement circuitry is already integrated on the TMP235 sensor. This sensor has many features that make it a perfect solution for small designs such as the Ambient 7 Click board™, and one of these features is certainly its high level of integration.
The TMP23X devices are a family of precision CMOS integrated-circuit linear analog temperature sensors with an output voltage proportional to temperature engineers can use in multiple analog temperature sensing applications. The TMP235 temperature sensor have an accuracy from 0°C to 70°C of ±1.25°C and provides a positive slope output of 10 mV/°C over the full –40°C to +150°C temperature range.
It is worth to mention that the TMP235 has extremely low power consumption - 9 μA (Typical). This makes Thermo 16 click a perfect solution for the development of the IoT, wearable and portable applications, logging devices, industrial and health-related time metering applications, and all the other applications that require an accurate temperature measurement for their operation.
An analog signal from the thermal sensor, from Vout pin is routed to the AN pin of the mikroBUS™ socket. On the path from the sensor to the mikroBUS™ socket, R2 and C1 are forming the RC filter. R2 is 0 ohm by default, but the user can increase the resistance in order to find a perfect match for desired purpose. Note that higher resistance may help filter any noise in signal, but may also increase the sensor response time, so when tuning the RC filter, it is crucial to find the ideal balance between these two.
The TMP235 operates at power supply range from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. Thus, Thermo 16 click has the power supply selection jumper onboard, named VCC SEL. That way, the user can switch between 3.3V and 5V for sensor power supply.

Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
The Thermo 16 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
