Click For Summary
Most temperature sensor ICs have an upper limit of around 150°C, making it challenging to find one that can measure up to 400°C. Users suggest alternatives like thermocouples, particularly "J" or "K" types, which are commonly used in industrial applications. Non-contact infrared optical temperature sensors are also recommended for high-temperature measurements. Concerns are raised about the feasibility of finding an IC for such high temperatures, as the original poster has struggled to locate one. The discussion emphasizes the importance of selecting the right type of sensor for extreme temperature applications.

most of the temp sensor ics goes upto 150 'c. can anyone suggest any ic that has upper limit of 400 'c? may be 350 'c

Use a thermocouple.
 
... or a non-contact IR optical temperature sensor.
 
Both suggestions are good but in industry we use either "J" or "K" thermocouples with "K" being the most common where I work. If the temperature was around the boiling point of water I would recommend a RTD.
 
I just read you post without reading the replys. If a IC is so hot that you cannot place your finger on it for over 1 second, it is too hot! You either have a heat sink problem or a bad IC.
 
Ummm, no. He doesn't wish to remove heat away from a part that is used as a sensor to meause temperature. His problem is that he is looking for something that most likely doesn't exist. He has admitted that he is unable to find it so he has been given a couple of choices. 350 degrees is far from the boiling point of water.
 

Thread 'Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes'

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
