Datasheet

General Description
The MAX31820PAR ambient temperature sensor pro-
vides 9-bit to 12-bit Celsius temperature measurements
with ±0.5°C accuracy over a +10°C to +45°C temperature
range. Over its entire -55°C to +125°C operating range,
the device has ±2.0°C accuracy.
The device communicates over a 1-Wire
®
bus that, by
definition, requires only one data line (and ground) for
communication with a central microprocessor. In addi-
tion, the device derives power directly from the data line
(“parasite power”), eliminating the need for an external
power supply. Requiring so few pins enables the device
to be placed in a 3-pin TO-92 package. The form factor
of this package allows the device to be placed above
the board and thus measure the ambient temperature of
a system, as opposed to the board temperature that a
surface-mount package would measure.
Each MAX31820PAR has a unique 64-bit serial code, which
allows multiple MAX31820PAR devices to function on the
same 1-Wire bus. Therefore, it is simple to use one micropro-
cessor to control many devices distributed over a large area.
