The  MCP9600 is a fully integrated thermocouple  Electromotive Force (EMF) to degree Celsius converter, with integrated Cold-Junction compensation. The MCP9600 supports 8 thermocouple types (K, J, T, N, S, E, B and R). The MCP9600 provides user-programmable registers, adding design flexibility for various temperature sensing applications. The registers allow user-selectable settings, such as low-power modes for battery-powered applications, an adjustable digital filter for fast transient temperatures andfour individually programmable temperature alert outputs, which can be used to detect multiple temperature zones.
