Adaptable for 8-16 Volts applications and can be integrated easily.IR sensor is integrated with an optical filter, a DSP, and a low noise amplifier for fine output digital signals.

This is useful in cutting off the near-infrared and visible light thereby reducing their impact on the readings.Īt the back of the module, you can find the 662K 3.3V precision voltage regulator, therefore we can safely use microcontrollers that use 5/3.3 level input/outputs with this module. Notice the built-in optical filter (long-wave pass) present in the MLX90614 sensor. Additionally, this sensor is able to measure both the ambient temperature and the object temperature with an accuracy of 0.5☌. With the aid of this sensor, temperature is measured through emitted IR waves without any physical contact.

It is a highly precise non-contact temperature sensor. On top of that, it is provided with ESD protection to avoid malfunctioning of the sensor.Īs you can see in the diagram above, the MLX90614 is found at the center of the module. It is embedded with an I2C port to communicate temperature reading to microcontrollers over an I2C bus. The GY-906 MLX90614 is an IR based contactless temperature sensor that can measure the temperature of a particular object between -70☌ – 382.2☌ and an ambient temperature of -40☌ – 125☌ without even making physical contact with an object under observation.
