Part Details for TH8080KDC-AAA-000-RE by Melexis Microelectronic Integrated Systems

The recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance can be found in the Melexis application note AN51001, which provides guidelines for thermal design and layout considerations.

To ensure accurate temperature measurement in high-vibration environments, it is recommended to use a mechanical fixation method, such as a clamp or adhesive, to secure the sensor to the target surface. Additionally, the use of a vibration-dampening material, such as a silicone-based adhesive, can help to reduce the impact of vibrations on the sensor.

The maximum cable length for the analog output signal is dependent on the specific application and the noise environment. As a general guideline, Melexis recommends keeping the cable length as short as possible (less than 1 meter) to minimize signal degradation and noise pickup. If longer cable lengths are required, it is recommended to use a shielded cable and to follow proper noise-reduction techniques.

While the TH8080KDC-AAA-000-RE is specified for operation up to 150°C, it is possible to use it in high-temperature applications above 150°C with some limitations. However, the accuracy and reliability of the sensor may be affected at higher temperatures. It is recommended to consult with Melexis application engineers to discuss the specific requirements and limitations of the application.

The TH8080KDC-AAA-000-RE does not require calibration in the classical sense, as it is a thermistor-based sensor with a built-in analog-to-digital converter. However, it is recommended to perform a system-level calibration to account for any offsets or gains in the signal chain. This can typically be done through a simple two-point calibration procedure, where the sensor output is measured at two known temperatures and the resulting values are used to calculate the gain and offset coefficients.
