THERMO 4 click

THERMO 4 click carries the LM75A digital temperature sensor and thermal watchdog. The sensor has the range from −55 °C to +125 °C. The click is designed to run on either 3.3V or 5V power supply. It communicates with the target microcontroller over I2C interface, with additional functionality provided by the INT pin on the mikroBUS™ line.

LM75A features

The LM75A is a temperature-to-digital converter using an on-chip band gap temperature sensor and Sigma-delta A-to-D conversion technique. The device is also a thermal detector providing an overtemperature detection output.

The sensor can be configured for different operation conditions. It can be set in normal mode to periodically monitor the ambient temperature, or in shutdown mode to minimize power consumption.

The temperature register always stores an 11-bit 2's complement data giving a temperature resolution of 0.125 °C. This high temperature resolution is particularly useful in applications of measuring precisely the thermal drift or runaway.

Code snippet

The following code snippet shows the main function of the example, which initializes the system, then writes data into the register, then reads that data for confirmation, and then reads the current temperature value, and shows that value in degrees Fahrenheit.

01 void main()
02 {
03
04    system_init();
05     thermo_init(0x55);
06     Delay_ms (100);
07     i=5;
08
09
10    /*sets the temperature limit to specified float value*/
11     thermo_write_temperature (65.5, THERMO_TOS);
12     /*reads stored temperature limit*/
13     thermo_read_temperature_text (uart_text, THERMO_TOS);
14     Delay_ms (100);
15
16    UART_Write_Text("rn Current temperature limit for output signal: ");
17     UART_Write_Text(uart_text);
18     Delay_ms( 1000 );
19
20        /*reads current temperature in fahrenheit*/
21     _fh_value = thermo_read_temperature_fh (THERMO_TEMP);
22     FloatToStr (_fh_value , uart_text);
23     uart_text [5] = 0;
24     Delay_ms (100);
25     UART_Write_Text("rn rn Current temperature in Fahrenheit: ");
26     UART_Write_Text(uart_text);
