DS75LX 
Digital Thermometer and Thermostat
with Extended Addressing
www.maxim-ic.com 
GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
This low-voltage (1.7V to 3.7V) digital thermometer 
and thermostat provides 9, 10, 11, or 12-bit digital 
temperature readings over a -55°C to +125°C range 
with ±2°C accuracy over a -25°C to +100°C range. At 
power-up, the DS75LX defaults to 9-bit resolution for 
software compatibility with the LM75. Communication 
with the DS75LX is achieved through a simple 2-wire 
serial interface. Three tri-state address pins allow up 
to 27 DS75LX devices to operate on the same 2-wire 
bus, which greatly simplifies distributed temperature-
sensing applications. 
The DS75LX thermostat has a dedicated open-drain 
output (O.S.) and programmable fault tolerance, 
which allow the user to define the number of 
consecutive error conditions that must occur before 
O.S. is activated. There are two thermostatic 
operating modes that control thermostat operation 
based on user-defined trip-points (T
OS 
and T
HYST
).
