Thermo 23 Click Board
Thermo 23 Click Board
Das Thermo 23 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die eine genaue Temperaturmessung ermöglicht. Diese Platine verfügt über den TMP144, einen hochpräzisen digitalen Temperatursensor von Texas Instruments. Der Temperatursensor im TMP144 ist der Chip selbst, der Temperatursensorschaltkreise, einen 12-Bit-Analog-Digital-Wandler (ADC), eine Steuerlogik und einen seriellen Schnittstellenblock in einem Gehäuse beherbergt. Dieser Temperatursensor zeichnet sich durch seine hohe Genauigkeit (typisch bis zu ±0,5 °C) und hohe Auflösung von 0,0625 °C aus und liefert Temperaturdaten an den Host-Controller mit einer konfigurierbaren UART-Schnittstelle. Dieses Click Board™ eignet sich für das Wärmemanagement verschiedener Verbraucher-, Industrie- und Umweltanwendungen mit vielen Temperaturmesszonen, die überwacht werden müssen.
Das Thermo 23 Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The Thermo 23 Click Board™ Work?
The Thermo 23 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the TMP144, a digital temperature sensor optimal for thermal management and thermal profiling applications from Texas Instruments. This temperature sensor is characterized by high accuracy; a temperature range of -10°C to +100°C provides typical ±0.5°C accuracy. The temperature sensing device for the TMP144 is the chip itself. A bipolar junction transistor inside the chip is used in a band-gap configuration to produce a voltage proportional to the chip temperature. The voltage is digitized and converted to a 12-bit temperature result in degrees Celsius, with a resolution of 0.0625°C.
The TMP144 possesses several operational modes: Continuous-Conversion mode (CC), Shutdown, One-shot mode, and Extended Temperature mode, which increases the temperature-measurement range from -40°C to +120°C. In the CC mode, ADC performs continuous temperature conversions and stores each result to the temperature register, overwriting the result from the previous conversion, while Shutdown modes reduce power consumption in the TMP75C when continuous temperature monitoring is not required, typically less than 0.5μA. Also, while the TMP144 is in Shutdown mode, it can perform a one-shot temperature measurement and return to the Shutdown state after the single conversion.
The Thermo 23 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the UART interface with commonly used UART RX and TX pins as its communication protocol operating at 115200bps by default configuration to transmit and exchange data with the host MCU. This interface can also be seen as both UART and SMAART Wire™ interface, supporting daisy-chain configurations. Besides, the interface also supports Multiple Device Access (MDA) commands that let the host communicate with multiple devices on the bus simultaneously.
This sensor's special and equally important feature is its software interrupt, a temperature alert function that monitors the device temperature and compares the result to the values stored in the temperature limit registers to determine if the device temperature is within these set limits. The TMP144 does not issue future interrupts until the user writes sets the interrupt enable bit in the configuration register to re-enable future interrupts.
The Thermo 23 Click Board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using 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.
