10 Programmable Features
The MLX90251 has many programmable features for adjusting the output characteristic. The features are
utilized by writing data into the redundant non-volatile EEPROM. Below is a quick list and description of all
the programmable parameters. Many of the parameters are set by Melexis and they are not used by the end
customer. Later sections of the data sheet give details on how the parameters are used.
