DESCRIPTION
The DS18B20-PAR digital thermometer provides 9 to 12bit centigrade temperature measurements and
has an alarm function with nonvolatile user-programmable upper and lower trigger points. The
DS18B20-PAR does not need an external power supply because it derives power directly from the data
line (parasite power). The DS18B20-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癈 to +100癈 and is accurate to ?.5癈 over a range of 10癈 to
+85癈.
Each DS18B20-PAR has a unique 64-bit identification code, which allows multiple DS18B20-PARs to
function on the same 1wire bus; thus, it is simple to use one microprocessor to control many DS18B20-
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.
