Description

KAmodTEM makes it easy to use thermal sensor with any device equipped with I2C interface, it can also be used as thermostat.

Basic features
  • MCP9801 thermal sensor by Microchip
  • Programmable sensor resolution: 9 to 12 bits
  • Sampling frequency 4...33Hz
  • Capable of reading temperatures from –55 to +125°C
  • SMbus and I2C/400kHz interfaces
  • 3 configurable address lines (up to 8 modules on one I2C bus)
  • Address 1001xxx (xxx – A2/A1/A0 configurable by jumpers, default 000)
  • Alert output (thermostat, open-drain)
  • Supply voltage 2.7...5.5VDC
  • Built-in pull-up resistors for I2C
  • Built-in LED (for example can be used as alert indicator)
  • I2C Kamami standard connector (compatible with most of Kamami evaluation boards)

Board Layout

Connectors

I2C bus (both lines with pull-up resistors) is available on Con1, Con2 and Con3 connectors. Pinout is shown on figure below.



Address Lines

Address lines (A2, A1, A0) are connected to Con4 pin header. Lines are pulled-down, so default module address is 1001000. You can change it by putting jumpers on Con4.



Alert output

Thermostat output of MCP9801 is connected to Con4 connector. It is open-drain output, so module is equipped qith pull-up resistor, which can be connected to AL line by PU jumper, AL output can be also used to control LED.


Module usage

KAmodTEM is equipped with Con1 i Con2 connectors, that can be used to connect module to KAMAMI evaluation boards with I2C connector (STM32Butterfly, ZL30ARM, ZL15AVR, ZL16AVR, ZL5PIC etc.).
