mikroElektronika Thermo 3 click Quick Start Manual

Thermo 3 click
™
1. Introduction
Thermo 3 click ™ carries TMP102, a digital
temperature sensor IC with a tiny footprint
of only 1.6mm x 1.6mm. Without requir-
ing calibration, TMP102 is accurate within
0.5°C. Measurement range is between -25°C
to 85°C. An integrated 12-bit ADC allows for
measurement resolutions down to 0.0625°C.
Thermo 3 click ™ communicates with the
target board MCU through mikroBUS
™
pins (SCL, SDA), and an additional Alert pint
(INT on the default mikroBUS ™ configura-
tion). The board is designed to use a 3.3V
power supply only.
2. Soldering the headers
Before using your click ™ board, make sure
to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and
right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers
are included with the board in the package.

Turn the board upside down so that
the bottom side is facing you upwards.
Place shorter pins of the header into the
appropriate soldering pads.

Turn the board upward again. Make sure
to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder the
pins carefully.
3. Plugging the board in
Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into the desired
mikroBUS socket. Make sure to align the cut in
™
the lower-right part of the board with the
markings on the silkscreen
at the mikroBUS socket.
™
If all the pins are aligned
correctly, push the board all
the way into the socket.
4. Essential features
Because of its accuracy, Thermo 3 click ™
ideal for thermal-management and ther-
mal protection applications, especially for
extended measurements (in thermostats,
office machines, industrial instrumentation
applications). You can set up an overtem-
perature alert using the ALERT pin (which
sends an interrupt to the target board MCU).
The sensor creates a highly linear output and
therefore simple to use.
