Description

This breakout board integrates the MAX31865 platinum RTD-to-digital converter, a dedicated IC for high-accuracy temperature sensing. It employs a 15-bit delta-sigma ADC to precisely measure the resistance of connected RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) sensors, converting it into a digital temperature value with a nominal resolution of 0.03125°C. The board is engineered for stability in industrial and instrumentation environments.

It features comprehensive input protection up to ±45V, safeguarding the sensitive electronics from voltage transients. The built-in fault detection system monitors for RTD open-circuit, short-circuit, and over/under-voltage conditions, providing diagnostic data via the SPI interface. The compact breakout format includes pre-mounted headers, simplifying prototyping and integration into data acquisition systems, HVAC controls, and process monitoring equipment.

Key Features

  • MAX31865-based RTD amplifier with high-resolution 15-bit ADC.
  • Universal compatibility with PT100, PT200, PT500, and PT1000 platinum sensors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of RTD sensors are compatible with this MAX31865 breakout board?

The board is compatible with standard platinum RTD sensors, including PT100, PT200, PT500, and PT1000 types. It is designed to accurately measure the resistance-temperature characteristic of these sensors. The onboard MAX31865 IC is specifically calibrated for the temperature coefficient of platinum (alpha = 0.00385).

How do I connect a 2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire RTD to this board?

The board's terminal block or pinout is labeled for RTD connections (RREF, FORCE+, FORCE-, SENSE+, SENSE-). For a 3-wire RTD (most common), connect the two leads from one side of the RTD to FORCE+ and SENSE+, and the single lead from the other side to FORCE-/SENSE-. The board's configuration registers via SPI allow you to select the 2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire mode to compensate for lead wire resistance.

What is the input voltage range and logic level for the SPI interface?

The board operates from a 3V to 5V DC supply, which also sets the logic level for the SPI communication lines (CS, SCLK, SDI, SDO). You must match this logic voltage with your microcontroller. The sensor input lines are protected against continuous faults up to ±45V, making the board robust for industrial environments with potential wiring faults.

How accurate is the temperature measurement, and what affects the accuracy?

The MAX31865 IC provides a maximum accuracy of ±0.5°C (or 0.05% of full scale), though actual system accuracy depends on the RTD sensor's class (e.g., Class A, B), wiring configuration, and external noise. Using 3-wire or 4-wire connections minimizes error from lead resistance. The 15-bit ADC provides a fine temperature resolution of 0.03125°C per LSB.
