Pyrometer electronic design for modern industrial protocol

Abstract

The invention provides a radiation temperature measurement system. The radiation temperature measurement system includes a light detector, one or more processing components on a first board, and one or more input / output (I / O) components on a second board. The one or more processing components can include: one or more digitizing circuits, the one or more digitizing circuits being operably coupled to the light detector; one or more level shifters; a microcontroller operably coupled to the one or more digitization circuits through the one or more level shifters; and a first portion of an input / output (I / O) connector. The microcontroller can include one or more of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a processor, an event system (EVSYS), a capture control unit (CCU), a general purpose input / output (GPIO), and a universal asynchronous transceiver (UART) interface. The one or more I / O components can include one or more of a communication interface, a protection circuit, and a second portion of the I / O connector.
