Far infrared thermal sensor array (16x12 RES)

The MLX90641 is a 16x12 pixel IR array housed in an industry standard 4-lead TO39 package and is able to accurately measure temperatures in the range of -40 °C to +300 °C. The factory-calibrated devices ensure an accuracy of 1 °C in typical measurement conditions. The high accuracy is further supported by a Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference (NETD) of 0.1 K RMS at 4 Hz refresh rate. The refresh rate is programmable in steps from 0.5 to 64 Hz.

Two different field of view (FoV) options are available, a standard 55 ° x 35 ° and a wide angle 110 ° x 75 °. The device is simple to use, operating from a single 3.3 V supply and storing all results in internal RAM for access via an I²C compatible digital interface. A proprietary algorithm ensures high thermal stability, even in conditions where the temperature is changing rapidly. The device's robustness, combined with the extended operating temperature range (-40 °C to +125 °C) enables applications in harsh thermal environments such as cooking, industrial and automotive applications.

Our temperature sensing solutions are used in a number of medical applications and we are currently encountering a high demand. Therefore the lead time can take longer than usual. It is our goal to deliver on our commitments as best as we can, within the boundaries of what is or will be feasible.
