Figure 6-2. MLX90609 with
analog output only
If only an analog output signal is required, the MLX90609 doesn’t need to communicate through the
SPI pins. All other pins continue to be used as described above.
Figure 6-3. MLX90609 with
digital output only
If only a digital output signal is required the MLX90609 uses the SPI to send the temperature and
the angular rate in a digital format. The operation mode only through the SPI allows a reduction of
cost and complexity in the interfacing to system microcontroller or microprocessor. All the pins in
the above schematics continue to be used as described above.
