DESCRIPTION
The DS18B20 digital thermometer provides 9-bit
to 12-bit Celsius temperature measurements and
has an alarm function with nonvolatile user-
programmable upper and lower trigger points.
The DS18B20 communicates over a 1-Wire bus
that by definition requires only one data line (and
ground) for communication with a central
microprocessor. It has an operating temperature
range of -55癈 to +125癈 and is accurate to
?.5癈 over the range of -10癈 to +85癈. In
addition, the DS18B20 can derive power directly
from the data line (parasite power), eliminating
the need for an external power supply.
Each DS18B20 has a unique 64-bit serial code,
which allows multiple DS18B20s to function on
the same 1-Wire bus. Thus, it is simple to use one
microprocessor to control many DS18B20s
distributed over a large area. Applications that
can benefit from this feature include HVAC
environmental controls, temperature monitoring
systems inside buildings, equipment, or
machinery, and process monitoring and control
systems.
