Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Surface temp 2 Click is based on the ADT7422, a high-accuracy 16-bit digital temperature sensor with a programmable interrupt and critical temperature indicator from Analog Devices. The ADT7422 has high accuracy and linearity over the entire rated temperature range without needing correction or calibration by the user. Operating at 3.3V, the average supply current is typically 210 μA. The ADT7420 has a shutdown mode that powers down the device and offers a shutdown current of typically 2.0 μA at 3.3 V. The ADT7422 Digital Temperature Sensor is designed to meet the ASTM E1112 standard of clinical thermometry specification. This sensor is used in applications such as Vital Signs Monitoring (VSM), medical equipment, thermocouple cold junction compensation, and laser diode temperature control. This Click board™ has a sensing pad, which is thermally connected to an ADT7422 for temperature sensing. It uses a 16-bit ADC to
monitor and digitize the temperature to 0.0078°C of resolution. The ADC resolution, by default, is set to 13 bits (0.0625°C). An internal temperature sensor generates a voltage proportional to absolute temperature, which is compared to an internal voltage reference and input into a precision digital modulator. A Σ-Δ modulator digitizes the sensor output, the charge balance type ADC. This type of converter utilizes time-domain oversampling and a high-accuracy comparator to deliver 16 bits of resolution. Surface temp 2 Click communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface with a maximum frequency of 400kHz. The ADT7422 has a 7-bit slave address with the first five MSBs fixed to 10010. The address pins A0 and A1 are programmed by the user and determine the value of the last two LSBs of the slave address, which can be selected by onboard SMD jumpers labeled as ADDR SEL, allowing selection of the slave
address LSBs. It also generates a programmable interrupt signal (over/under temperature indicator) routed on the INT pin and critical overtemperature indicator CT routed on the PWM pin of the mikroBUS™ socket. Those pins have two over/under temperature modes: Comparator and Interrupt mode. The Interrupt mode is the default overtemperature mode, which sets the INT pin high when the temperature exceeds the internally defined limit value, while in Comparator mode, the INT pin returns to an inactive state when the temperature drops below that limit value. The CT pin is activated if a critical overtemperature event occurs. This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. Also, it comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
Features overview
Development board
Clicker 2 for Kinetis is a compact starter development board that brings the flexibility of add-on Click boards™ to your favorite microcontroller, making it a perfect starter kit for implementing your ideas. It comes with an onboard 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4F microcontroller, the MK64FN1M0VDC12 from NXP Semiconductors, two mikroBUS™ sockets for Click board™ connectivity, a USB connector, LED indicators, buttons, a JTAG programmer connector, and two 26-pin headers for interfacing with external electronics. Its compact design with clear and easily recognizable silkscreen markings allows you to build gadgets with unique functionalities and
features quickly. Each part of the Clicker 2 for Kinetis development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition to the possibility of choosing the Clicker 2 for Kinetis programming method, using a USB HID mikroBootloader or an external mikroProg connector for Kinetis programmer, the Clicker 2 board also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development kit. It provides two ways of board-powering; through the USB Micro-B cable, where onboard voltage regulators provide the appropriate voltage levels to each component on the board, or
using a Li-Polymer battery via an onboard battery connector. All communication methods that mikroBUS™ itself supports are on this board, including the well-established mikroBUS™ socket, reset button, and several user-configurable buttons and LED indicators. Clicker 2 for Kinetis is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem, allowing you to create a new application in minutes. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output
1. Application Output - In Debug mode, the 'Application Output' window enables real-time data monitoring, offering direct insight into execution results. Ensure proper data display by configuring the environment correctly using the provided tutorial.
2. UART Terminal - Use the UART Terminal to monitor data transmission via a USB to UART converter, allowing direct communication between the Click board™ and your development system. Configure the baud rate and other serial settings according to your project's requirements to ensure proper functionality. For step-by-step setup instructions, refer to the provided tutorial.
3. Plot Output - The Plot feature offers a powerful way to visualize real-time sensor data, enabling trend analysis, debugging, and comparison of multiple data points. To set it up correctly, follow the provided tutorial, which includes a step-by-step example of using the Plot feature to display Click board™ readings. To use the Plot feature in your code, use the function: plot(*insert_graph_name*, variable_name);. This is a general format, and it is up to the user to replace 'insert_graph_name' with the actual graph name and 'variable_name' with the parameter to be displayed.
