NOTES: 
1.  Temperature conversion will work with ±2°C accuracy down to V
PUP
 = 3.4V. 
2.  All voltages are referenced to ground. 
3.  I
DD
 specified with low-impedance pullup to 5.0V. 
4.  Active current refers to temperature conversion. 
5.  Writing to EEPROM consumes approximately 200µA. 
6.  t
RSTL
 may be up to 4800µs. With longer times, the result of temperature conversion may get lost. 
7.  The reset low time should be restricted to a maximum of 960µs, to allow interrupt signaling, 
otherwise it could mask or conceal interrupt pulses. 
8.  Read data setup time refers to the time the host must pull the 1-Wire bus low to read a bit. Data is 
guaranteed to be valid within 1µs of this falling edge and will remain valid for 14µs minimum (15µs 
total from falling edge on 1-Wire bus). 
9.  Capacitance on the data contact could be 800pF when power is first applied. If a 5kΩ resistor is used 
to pull up the data line to V
CC
, 5µs after power has been applied, the parasite capacitance will not 
affect normal communications. 
10. Under certain low-voltage conditions, V
ILMAX
 may have to be reduced to as much as 0.5V to always 
guarantee a presence pulse. 
11. See the Typical Performance Curve  for specification limits outside the 0°C to +70°C range. 
Thermometer error reflects sensor accuracy as tested during calibration.
