+* Melexis MLX90632 contactless Infra Red temperature sensor
|
|
|

|
|
|
+Link to datasheet: https://www.melexis.com/en/documents/documentation/datasheets/datasheet-mlx90632

|
|
|
+There are various applications for the Infra Red contactless temperature sensor
|
|
|
+and MLX90632 is most suitable for consumer applications where measured object
|
|
|
+temperature is in range between -20 to 200 degrees Celsius with relative error
|
|
|
+of measurement below 1 degree Celsius in object temperature range for
|
|
|
+industrial applications. Since it can operate and measure ambient temperature
|
|
|
+in range of -20 to 85 degrees Celsius it is suitable also for outdoor use.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Be aware that electronics surrounding the sensor can increase ambient
|
|
|
+temperature. MLX90632 can be calibrated to reduce the housing effect via
|
|
|
+already existing EEPROM parameters.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Since measured object emissivity effects Infra Red energy emitted, emissivity
|
|
|
+should be set before requesting the object temperature.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Required properties:
|
|
|
+ - compatible: should be "melexis,mlx90632"
|
|
|
+ - reg: the I2C address of the sensor (default 0x3a)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+mlx90632@3a {
|
|
|
+ compatible = "melexis,mlx90632";
|
|
|
+ reg = <0x3a>;
|
|
|
+};
