Microchips MCP9600 is a great thermocouple voltage converter. This small 18-bit device translates EMF into degrees Celsius with a brilliant accuracy of ±1.5°C. The MCP9600 supports a wide range of type (K, J, T, N, S, E, B and R) to cover a vast temperature. This ADC also allows for programming the register to make for a more flexible range of applications. Programming the register will allow you to select such things as lower power for battery usage, adjustable digital filter for faster transient temperatures and four alert outputs that are individually programmable. The MCP9600 is a small 20-pin MQFN package.
