DS18B20
12 of 22
COPY SCRATCHPAD [48h]
This command copies the contents of the scratchpad T
H
, T
L
and configuration registers (bytes 2, 3 and 4)
to EEPROM. If the device is being used in parasite power mode, within 10µs (max) after this command is
issued the master must enable a strong pullup on the 1-Wire bus for at least 10ms as described in the
Powering the DS18B20 section.
RECALL E
2
[B8h]
This command recalls the alarm trigger values (T
H
and T
L
) and configuration data from EEPROM and
places the data in bytes 2, 3, and 4, respectively, in the scratchpad memory. The master device can issue
read time slots following the Recall E
2
command and the DS18B20 will indicate the status of the recall by
transmitting 0 while the recall is in progress and 1 when the recall is done. The recall operation happens
automatically at power-up, so valid data is available in the scratchpad as soon as power is applied to the
device.
READ POWER SUPPLY [B4h]
The master device issues this command followed by a read time slot to determine if any DS18B20s on the
bus are using parasite power. During the read time slot, parasite powered DS18B20s will pull the bus
low, and externally powered DS18B20s will let the bus remain high. See the Powering the DS18B20
section for usage information for this command.

Note 1:
For parasite-powered DS18B20s, the master must enable a strong pullup on the 1-Wire bus during temperature
conversions and copies from the scratchpad to EEPROM. No other bus activity may take place during this time.
Note 2:
The master can interrupt the transmission of data at any time by issuing a reset.
Note 3:
All three bytes must be written before a reset is issued.
