DS18B20 DIGITAL TEMPERATURE SENSOR

This is the latest DS18B20 1-Wire digital temperature sensor from Maxim (formerly Dallas) IC. Reports degrees C with 9 to 12-bit precision, -55C to 125C (+/-0.5C). Each sensor has a unique 64-Bit Serial number etched into it – allows for a huge number of sensors to be used on one data bus. This is a wonderful part that is the corner stone of many data-logging and temperature control projects.

1. Unique 1-Wire interface requires only one port pin for communication
2. Each device has a unique 64-bit serial code stored in an onboard ROM
3. Multidrop capability simplifies distributed temperature sensing applications
4. Requires no external components
5. Can be powered from data line. Power supply range is 3.0V to 5.5V
6. Measures temperatures from –55°C to +125°C (–67°F to +257°F)
7. ±0.5°C accuracy from –10°C to +85°C
8. Thermometer resolution is user-selectable from 9 to 12 bits
9. Converts temperature to 12-bit digital word in 750ms (max.)
10. User-definable nonvolatile (NV) alarm settings
11. Alarm search command identifies and addresses devices whose temperature is outside of programmed limits (temperature alarm condition)
