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.
