The Surface Temp Click Board™ is based around the ADT7420 which has a 16-bit ADC to monitor and digitize the temperature to 0.0078°C resolution. The ADC resolution, by default, is set to 13 bits (0.0625°C) and is a user programmable mode that can be changed through the serial interface.
The ADT7420 is guaranteed to operate over supply voltages from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Operating at 3.3 V, the average supply current is typically 210 μA. The ADT7420 has a shutdown mode that powers down the device and offers a shutdown current of typically 2.0 μA at 3.3 V. The ADT7420 is rated for operation over the −40°C to +150°C temperature range.
The Surface Temp Click Board™ have a sensing pad, which is thermally connected to a ADT7420, for temperature sensing. The internal temperature sensor has high accuracy and linearity over the entire rated temperature range without needing correction or calibration by the user.
In normal mode (default power-up mode) the ADT7420 runs an automatic conversion sequence. During this automatic conversion sequence, a conversion typically takes 240 ms to complete and the ADT7420 is continuously converting. This means that as soon as one temperature conversion is completed, another temperature conversion begins. Each temperature conversion result is stored in the temperature value registers and is available through the I2C interface. In continuous conversion mode, the read operation provides the most recent converted result.
Like most I2C-compatible devices, the ADT7420 has a 7-bit serial address. The address can be selected by JP2 and JP3 jumpers (details in ADT7420 datasheet). Pin A0 and Pin A1 are available for address selection, giving the ADT7420 four possible I2C addresses.
The INT and CT pins have two under-temperature/over-temperature modes: comparator mode and interrupt mode. The interrupt mode is the default power-up overtemperature mode. The CT pin is an open-drain output that becomes active when the temperature exceeds a programmable critical temperature limit. The INT pin is also an open-drain output that becomes active when the temperature exceeds a programmable limit. The INT pin and CT pin can operate in comparator and interrupt event modes.
The voltage range which can be used to power up the Surface Temp Click Board™, allows it to work with controllers which have GPIO on both 3.3V and 5V. It can be selected by soldering a small SMD jumper, labelled as VCC SEL to the correct position. As well as PWR LED indicator for signaling that power is present on the system.

We provide a library for the Surface Temp Click Board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
The library contains basic functions for working with Surface temp Click Board™.
float surfacetemp_get_temperature ( void ) - Getting temperature value.uint8_t surfacetemp_get_status ( void ) - Getting device status.uint8_t surfacetemp_setup ( void ) - Device initialization.The application is composed of three sections :
void application_task ( )
{
float temperature;
char demo_text[ 20 ];
temperature = surfacetemp_get_temperature( );
FloatToStr( temperature, demo_text );
mikrobus_logWrite( "> Temperature : ", _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( demo_text, _LOG_LINE );
Delay_ms( 1500 );
}
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be found on our LibStock page.
Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click Board™, USB UART 2 Click Board™ or RS232 Click Board™ 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 Surface Temp 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.
