== Summary ==
The Maxim MAX31865 RTD PT100/PT1000 Resistance Thermometer component reads temperature from RTD sensors using SPI interface. It provides precise temperature measurements with configurable sensor settings and error detection.

== Description ==
The MAX31865 is a precision resistance-to-digital converter designed for platinum resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). It provides high-accuracy temperature measurements from PT100 or PT1000 sensors with automatic error detection including under/over voltage, open circuit, and short circuit conditions. The component supports 2, 3, or 4-wire RTD configurations and offers configurable filtering, measurement timing, and threshold settings for industrial-grade temperature monitoring applications.
