MAX6675 Temperature Sensor IC SOIC-8 Price in Sri Lanka

The MAX6675 is a precision thermocouple-to-digital converter IC designed for accurate temperature measurements using K-type thermocouples. Packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), it integrates essential features such as cold-junction compensation and a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), facilitating seamless interfacing with microcontrollers via the SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) protocol.

The MAX6675 digitizes the small voltage generated by a K-type thermocouple and provides a digital output corresponding to the measured temperature. Its integrated cold-junction compensation ensures that temperature readings are accurate regardless of ambient temperature changes at the connection point. The device communicates via a simple SPI interface, making it compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers.
