Precision Thermal Imaging for Industrial and Embedded Applications: Discover the Power of the MLX90640 FOV 55x35 Thermal Camera
Experience reliable, high-resolution thermal imaging with the MLX90640 FOV 55x35 Thermal Camera—a fully calibrated infrared solution engineered for accuracy, efficiency, and seamless integration. Designed around a 32x24 pixel array delivering 768 FIR (Far Infrared) data points, this thermal camera is ideal for real-time temperature mapping across various fields, including industrial automation, building diagnostics, safety monitoring, and smart home systems.
Equipped with an ambient temperature sensor and a VDD supply monitor, all crucial sensor readings—including infrared, ambient temperature (Ta), and power voltage (VDD)—are stored in internal RAM for fast retrieval via the I2C digital interface. The thermal camera supports a wide target temperature range from -40°C to 300°C and operates reliably within a -40°C to 85°C range, making it highly adaptable for challenging environments. With support for popular programming languages such as Python and C++, and backed by a robust Software Development Kit (SDK), it ensures effortless integration into embedded systems, PC applications, and portable solutions.
