MCP9601 Thermocouple IC Evaluation Board User's Guide

NOTES:

Chapter 1. Product Overview

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter provides an overview of the MCP9601 Thermocouple IC Evaluation Board and covers the following topics:

• What is the MCP9601 Device?
• What is the MCP9601 Thermocouple IC Evaluation Board?
• What the MCP9601 Thermocouple IC Evaluation Board Kit Contains

1.2 WHAT IS THE MCP9601 DEVICE?

The MCP9601 is a Thermocouple Electromotive Force (EMF) to temperature converter. This device converts thermocouple EMF to degree Celsius with integrated Cold-Junction compensation. MCP9601 corrects the thermocouple nonlinear error characteristics of eight thermocouple types and outputs ±1.5^ accurate temperature data for the selected thermocouple. The correction coefficients are derived from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) ITS-90 Thermocouple Database.

1.3 WHAT IS THE MCP9601 THERMOCOUPLE IC EVALUATION BOARD?

The MCP9601 Thermocouple IC Evaluation Board is used to evaluate MCP9601 Thermocouple EMF voltage to degree Celsius converter. Users can easily evaluate all device features using a Type K thermocouple. The device also supports Types J, T, N, E, B, S and R thermocouples. Each of these types can be evaluated by replacing the Type K thermocouple connector with the corresponding connectors.

In addition, the MCP9601 Thermocouple IC Evaluation Board connects to a PC via a USB interface. Temperature can be data-logged using the Microchip Thermal Management Software Graphical User Interface (GUI).

1.4 WHAT THE MCP9601 THERMOCOUPLE IC EVALUATION BOARD KIT CONTAINS

The MCP9601 Thermocouple IC Evaluation Board package includes:

• MCP9601 Thermocouple IC Evaluation Board (ADM00665)
- Type K Thermocouple
- Mini USB Cable
• Important Information Sheet

Chapter 2. Installation and Operation

2.1 INTRODUCTION

The MCP9601 Thermocouple IC Evaluation Board enables users to easily evaluate all user-programmable features such as thermocouple selection, temperature alert limit settings, temperature resolutions and Power mode.

Items discussed in this chapter include:

• Required Tool
• Getting Started
• Microchip Thermal Management Software GUI
• Configuring the MCP9601
• Data Acquisition

2.2 REQUIRED TOOL

The evaluation board software requires Windows ^® 7 or later, with a USB connection.

2.3 GETTING STARTED

This section describes how to power up and interface with the MCP9601 Thermocouple IC Evaluation Board.

2.3.1 Hardware Setup

1. The MCP9601 Thermocouple IC Evaluation Board has a mini USB connector. The USB connection is needed for power and data acquisition.

FIGURE 2-1: MCP9601 Thermocouple IC Evaluation Board.

2.3.2 Hardware Operation

The MCP9601 Thermocouple IC Evaluation Board is fully powered from a PC USB 5V source. Once power is applied and the USB is successfully enumerated, the PIC ^® microcontroller is ready to receive commands from GUI MCP9601 settings or transfer temperature data.

    C --> G["User Interface"]

FIGURE 2-2: Functional Block Diagram.

The block diagram (Figure 2-2) shows that the thermocouple connector is directly connected to the MCP9601. The four Alert outputs are connected to test points for external connections. Additionally, these outputs are also connected to the microcontroller I/O pins so that the Alert Output statuses can be detected in software.

2.4 MICROCHIP THERMAL MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE GUI

The Microchip Thermal Management Graphical User Interface allows users to evaluate the MCP9601 for temperature-sensing applications. This software tool can be downloaded and installed from the evaluation board product page. The software requires the 'Microsoft.NET Framework' package. If this framework package is not installed on the computer, then the software will automatically download and install it. After the installation is successfully completed, the hardware is required to start the graphical user interface.

Once the hardware is connected, the software recognizes the device ID and displays the corresponding GUI for the evaluation board. Disconnecting the USB will close the GUI. This tool enables the user to evaluate the sensor features and perform temperature data logging.

Figure 2-3 shows the data acquisition interface with a plot of the thermocouple Hot-Junction and Cold-Junction temperature data. The Y1 axis is the Hot-Junction temperature and the Y2 axis is the Cold-Junction temperature. This data can also be exported by right-clicking the plot and following the export options.

MCP9601 Thermocouple IC Evaluation Board User's Guide

Use the Thermal Management Software Graphical User Interface (GUI) for temperature data logging or to evaluate the sensor board features. If the hardware is properly connected, the software will recognize the hardware, otherwise, the software will show the 'Hardware Not Detected' message box, as indicated in Figure 2-4.

FIGURE 2-5: Sensor Configuration Options.

2.5.1 MCP9600 vs. MCP9601 Additional Features

The MCP9601 family integrates an open circuit and short circuit detection mechanism. When open/short circuit is detected, the device asserts an Alert signal using the SC Alert and OC Alert pins. There are test points for these pins on the MCP9601 evaluation board, which can be used to detect open circuit and short circuit conditions.

Additionally, the status register bits 4 and 5 are also set when the open circuit and short circuit conditions are true. However, the MCP9600 family supports only open circuit detection which can only be read by the host controller from the status register. The MCP9600 does not integrate the alert output pin for open circuit detection.

2.5.2 How to Check for Open Circuit and Short Circuit Conditions

The GUI shows the open circuit and short circuit flags using a yellow and red colored texts as shown in Figure 2-5. These features can be validated by simply disconnecting the thermocouple header from the board for open circuit detection, or by shorting the thermocouple wire to the system ground or power source ( V_SS or V_DD test points on the evaluation board).

The black "Play", "Stop", and "Reset" icons (Figure 2-6) can be used to perform continuous data acquisitions. The red "Record" icon enables the user to data log to an external file. The logging interval can be adjusted using the Interval scroll bar from 100 ms to 30s, as shown in Figure 2-3.
