Note 1:  V

 must be decoupled with a high-quality 0.1µF bypass capacitor. X5R or X7R ceramic surface-mount capacitors are 
recommended. 
Note 2: 
Internal heating caused by O.S. loading causes the DS75LX to read approximately 0.5°C higher if O.S. is sinking the max 
rated current. 
Note 3:  All voltages are referenced to ground. 
Note 4:  I

 at 3.0V and SDA, SCL = 3.0V at 0°C to +70°C. 
Note 6:  Address pins A0, A1, A2 are directly connected to V

, or floating with less than 50pF capacitive load. 
Note 7:  See the timing diagram (Figure 1). All timing is referenced to 0.9 x V
DD
 and 0.1 x V
DD
. 
Note 8:  After this period, the first clock pulse is generated. 
Note 9:  The DS75LX provides an internal hold time of at least 75ns on the SDA signal to bridge the undefined region of SCL's falling 
edge. 
Note 10:  For example, if C
B 
= 300pF, then t
R
[min] = t
F
[min] = 50ns. 
Note 11:  This timeout applies only when the DS75LX is holding SDA low. Other devices can hold SDA low indefinitely and the DS75LX 
will not reset. 
Note 12:  The DS75LX is available with timeout feature disabled upon special order. Contact Factory.
