Das Thermo 18 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die eine genaue Temperaturmessung ermöglicht. Diese Platine verfügt über den WSEN-TIDS, einen hochpräzisen digitalen Temperatursensor auf Siliziumbasis mit eingebetteter analoger und digitaler Signalverarbeitungseinheit von Würth Elektronik. Dieser Temperatursensor, der sich durch seine hohe Genauigkeit (typisch bis zu ±0,25 °C) und hohe Auflösung auszeichnet, liefert werkseitig kalibrierte 16-Bit-Temperaturdaten an den Host-Controller mit einer konfigurierbaren I2C-Schnittstelle.
Es verfügt außerdem über einen programmierbaren Temperaturschwellenwert und eine Interrupt-Funktion. Das Thermo 18 Click Board™ eignet sich für industrielle Steuerung, Umweltüberwachung, Haushaltsgeräte, HLK-Systeme oder andere Temperaturmessanwendungen.
How Does The Thermo 18 Click Board™ Work?
The Thermo 18 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the WSEN-TIDS (2521020222501), a silicon-based, high-resolution digital temperature sensor from Würth Elektronik. This temperature sensor is characterized by high accuracy; temperature range of -40°C to +125°C provides ±0.5°C accuracy, while a range of -10°C to +60°C it goes down to ±0.25°C. WSEN-TIDS sensor is factory-calibrated and can be used without time-consuming re-measurements. It features a 16-bit output signal that can be read out via an I2C serial interface with output data rates up to a maximum of 200Hz.
The Thermo 18 Click Board™ can be configured in the three following operational modes: Power-down mode, Single conversion mode, and Continuous mode. In Power-down mode, the digital chain that samples the temperature data is turned off, and the current consumption is at its minimum. Before going into this mode, the temperature data registers retain the last sampled temperature value. However, serial communication with the host controller via the I2C bus is still possible, allowing the user to configure the device by accessing the control registers and temperature threshold registers.
The Single conversion mode can activate when the sensor is still in a Power-down mode allowing a single temperature measurement to be performed according to the request of the host controller, while the continuous mode constantly samples new temperature measurements and writes the data to the temperature data registers. Once the device is configured in one of the operating modes, temperature values are sampled and stored in the temperature data registers, available for the user to read.
The Thermo 18 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface with a frequency of 400kHz in Fast Mode and up to 1MHz in Fast Mode Plus. Also, the WSEN-TIDS features an interrupt signal routed on the INT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, which indicates when a new set of measured temperature data are available, simplifying data synchronization in the digital system that uses the device. Besides, it also allows the choice of the least significant bit of its I2C slave address by positioning the SMD jumper labeled as ADDR SEL to an appropriate position marked as 0 and 1.
This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before use with MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

We provide a library for the Thermo 18 Click Board™ as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
The package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe Github account.
Library Description
This library contains API for the Thermo 18 Click Board™ driver.
Key Functions
thermo18_read_temperature- Reads and calculates temperature value.thermo18_set_temperature_threshold- Sets temperature threshold.thermo18_reset- Resets device.
Example Description

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need 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.
mikroSDK
The Thermo 18 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.
