This Development Board from Microchip is an evaluation platform for the MCP9600, a Thermocouple to Digital Converter that digitises the Thermocouple EMF into degrees Celsius with an accuracy of ±1.5°C that integrates Cold-Junction Compensation.

The board connects via USB to a host PC running Microchip’s Thermal Management Software. This GUI allows users to investigate the programmable features of the device such as the configurable Low-Power modes and the Temperature Alert outputs.

Supplied with the board is a K Type Thermocouple that connects via the installed K Type socket. Other Thermocouple types can also be used; a simple changeover of the on-board socket to the desired Thermocouple type is all that is required.
