types and to select the digital filter options. This device

supports eight thermocouple types. Each type has a

unique set of error correction coefficients that are

derived from the NIST Thermocouple EMF Voltage

Conversion database.

In addition, this device integrates a first order. recursive

Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter, also known as

Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The filter uses the

current new temperature sample and the previous filter

output to calculate the next filter output. It also adds more

weight to the current temperature data, allowing a faster

filter response to the immediate change in temperature.

This feature can be used to filter out fast thermal

transients or thermal instability at the thermocouple

hot-junction temperature. Writing this register resets the

filter.

The filter equation is shown in Equation 5-4 and the

Filter Coefficient n is user-selectable, from Level 0 to 7.

A coefficient of 0 disables the filter function and a 7

coefficient provides a maximum digital filter. Figure 5-6

shows the filter response to a step function, which can

be used to extrapolate the filter performance to various

temperature changes.
