Table 21 Maximum object temperature at different resolution settings

NOTE: If object temperature exceeds the maximum object temperature specified for the corresponding resolution,

the MLX90621 may return invalid data due to measurements overflow.

Field Of View (FOV)

10.3.

Figure 29: Field Of View measurement

The specified FOV is calculated for the wider direction, in this case for the 16 pixels.

Angular alignment must be 5% of specified FOV and will be valid for both directions. For example for the 60° FOV in

the wider direction will come with 16° in the shorter direction.
