2.2 Features of Design
The TNm infrared thermometer module is specially designed for a high sensitivity, high accuracy,
low noise and low power consumption. A number of design features contribute to the performance:
MEMS thermopile detector and a high accurate ambient temperature compensation technics
care used for the TNm infrared thermometer module.
ZyTemp has developed a proprietary Infrared-System-On-Chip device that integrates all
hardware items onto one IC. Using this innovative SoC technology, TNm infrared
thermometer module has become a highly affordable and compact product.
ZyTemp's products can faithfully withstand a thermal shock of 10degC/18degF. Our products
are adept in maintaining accuracies under widely changing environmental conditions. For
example, the errors from environmental changes of older IRTs can reach 1.6degC, requiring up
to 30 minutes to stabilize, while ZyTemp's TNm error differential is only 0.7degC, needing
only 7 minutes to restabilize.
TNm products operate from a 3 Volt power supply, while many other older IRTs still require a
9 Volt supply.
ZyTemp has maintained a NIST or National Measurement Laboratory traceable Temperature
Primary Standard. All the TNm products are calibrated under traceable infrared standard
sources. The calibration data and serial number are saved in a EEPROM on the module.
