Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The MTP 31A is an infrared temperature sensor module that integrates a MEMS infrared thermopile sensor, a low-noise amplifier, a 12-bit ADC, and a low-power MCU. It supports digital calibration with an accuracy of 0.1°C and offers UART and I2C digital outputs for efficient temperature measurement.

Main Features and Applications
  • MEMS thermopile technology with body temperature mode compensation.
  • Ultra-low power consumption (<3.5 mA) and battery-powered (4.5~5.5V).
  • Factory calibration with ±0.3°C accuracy for body temperature mode.
  • Applications include face recognition machines, attendance machines, and security checks.

Specifications
  • Temperature Range: 32~42.5°C (body mode), 0~80°C (object mode).
  • Accuracy: ±0.3°C (body mode), ±1°C/±1% m.v (object mode).
  • Digital Resolution: 0.1°C, Measurement Period: 0.5 s.
  • Supply Voltage: 4.5~5.5 V, Operating Current: <2 mA.
  • Output Signal: UART, I2C, Communication Level: TTL 3.3 V.
  • Operating Temperature Range: 0-50°C, Humidity Range: 0-95%RH non-condensing.

Serial Communication Protocol
The module uses a baud rate of 9600 with 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. The packet structure includes a header, MSB, LSB, SUM, and an ending character.

Functioning Examples
  1. Reading target object temperature using stored emission coefficient.
  2. Manually setting emission coefficient and reading temperature.
  3. Reading internal module temperature.
  4. Changing and reading the emission coefficient value stored in the module.

Version Update
Version 2.00 was revised on 2021-4-11.

Infrared Temperature Sensor Module Sensor Module 4. Change the emission coefficient value stored in the module The emission coefficient value stored in the module to be written is placed in the LSB byte, and the data range is 10~100 (0x0A~0x64, representing the emissivity 0.10~1.00), other setting values out of the range are invalid. The default emission coefficient value of the module is 95, that is, the emission rate is 0.95.The module returns the actually written emission coefficient value.
