PIN SYMBOL DESCRIPTION 
1 GND 
Ground. 
2 DQ 
Data Input/Output pin. Open-drain 1-Wire interface pin. Also provides power 
to the device when used in parasite power mode (see “Parasite Power” section.) 
3 NC No Connect. Doesn’t connect to internal circuit. 
OVERVIEW 
The DS1822-PAR uses Dallas’ exclusive 1-Wire bus protocol that implements bus communication using 
one control signal. The control line requires a weak pullup resistor since all devices are linked to the bus 
via a 3-state or open-drain port (the DQ pin in the case of the DS1822-PAR). In this bus system, the 
microprocessor (the master device) identifies and addresses devices on the bus using each device’s unique 
64-bit code. Because each device has a unique code, the number of devices that can be addressed on one 
bus is virtually unlimited. The 1-Wire bus protocol, including detailed explanations of the commands and 
“time slots,” is covered in the 1-WIRE BUS SYSTEM section of this data sheet. 
An important feature of the DS1822-PAR is its ability to operate without an external power supply. 
Power is instead supplied through the 1-Wire pullup resistor via the DQ pin when the bus is high. The 
high bus signal also charges an internal capacitor (C
PP
), which then supplies power to the device when the 
bus is low. This method of deriving power from the 1-Wire bus is referred to as “parasite power.” 
Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the DS1822-PAR, and pin descriptions are given in Table 1. The 
64-bit ROM stores the device’s unique serial code. The scratchpad memory contains the 2-byte 
temperature register that stores the digital output from the temperature sensor. In addition, the scratchpad 
provides access to the 1-byte upper and lower alarm trigger registers (T
H
 and T
L
). The T
H
 and T
L 
registers 
are NV (EEPROM), so they will retain their data when the device is powered down.
