Better digital thermocouple IC than Max31855

[embedded.world@aol.com]

Max31855 is digital thermocouple IC .

Is there any better digitally compensated IC which have better resolution/accuracy & sampling time for K-type thermocouple

I've recently made a thermometer using AD595 - amplifies thermocouple output to 10mV / C  (+0.011mv/C offset) , +/-1 C for the precision version, +/-3C otherwise, up to 1250c, not just 0 to 700c.  You still need a mcu to convert the voltage to temperature, but it's possible to get better than 0.25c steps.

I use the newer version of the chip, the AD8497.

I second the AD849x... In my case I chose the AD8495. A third the price of the 595, but it is only available SMD.
