Infra Red Thermometer in TO-39
The address PWMCTRL consists of control bits for configuring the PWM/SDA pin:
Bit 0
Bit 1
Bit 2
Select the type of 1 - Single PWM, factory default for
0 – Extended PWM, factory default
for MLX90614xBx
0 - Disable PWM (Enable SMBus),
Factory default
PWM mode:

Number of repetitions divided by 2 of sensor 1 and 2 in Extended PWM
mode. The number of repetitions can vary from 0 to 64 times.
2MHz divided by the number written in this place. (128 in case the number is
0.) A single PWM period consists of 2048 clocks and extended PWM of 4096
clocks for each period (2T in figure 6). The 2 MHz clock is valid for the
nominal HFO frequency.

– Define the sign of thermo-
shock compensation:
1 - negative,
0 – positive.
Note: The following bits/registers should not be altered (except with special tools – contact Melexis for such
tools availability) in order to keep the factory calibration relevant:
