The MCP9600 converts thermocouple EMF to degree Celsius with integrated cold-junction compensation. It comes with user-programmable registers which provide design fl exibility for various temperature sensing applications. This sensor uses an industry standard 2-wire, I2 C compatible serial interface and supports up to eight devices per bus by setting the device address using the ADDR pin.
