FEATURES
· Unique 1-Wire
®
interface requires only one
port pin for communication
· Derives power from data line (“parasite
power”)—does not need a local power supply
· Multi-drop capability simplifies distributed
temperature sensing applications
· Requires no external components
· ±0.5°C accuracy from –10°C to +85°C
· Measures temperatures from –55°C to
+100°C (–67°F to +212°F)
· 9-bit thermometer resolution
· Converts temperature in 750 ms (max.)
· User–definable non-volatile temperature
alarm settings
· Alarm search command identifies and
addresses devices whose temperature is
outside of programmed limits (temperature
alarm condition)
· Ideal for use in remote sensing applications
(e.g., temperature probes) that do not have a
local power source

DESCRIPTION
The DS18S20-PAR digital thermometer provides 9–bit centigrade temperature measurements and has an
alarm function with nonvolatile user-programmable upper and lower trigger points. The DS18S20-PAR
does not need an external power supply because it derives power directly from the data line (“parasite
power”). The DS18S20-PAR communicates over a 1-Wire bus, which by definition requires only one
data line (and ground) for communication with a central microprocessor. It has an operating temperature
range of –55°C to +100°C and is accurate to ±0.5°C over a range of –10°C to +85°C.
Each DS18S20-PAR has a unique 64-bit identification code, which allows multiple DS18S20-PARs to
function on the same 1–wire bus; thus, it is simple to use one microprocessor to control many
DS18S20-PARs 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.
