Manufacturer Part Number
DS18S20Z
Manufacturer
Maxim Integrated
Introduction
The DS18S20 is a digital thermometer that provides 9-bit to 12-bit Celsius temperature measurements and has an alarm function with non-volatile user-programmable upper and lower trigger points. The device communicates over a 1-Wire bus that by design requires only one data line (and ground) for communication with a central microprocessor.
Product Features and Performance
Measures temperatures from -55°C to +125°C (-67°F to +257°F)
Accurate to ±0.5°C over the -10°C to +85°C range
Thermometer resolution is user-selectable from 9 to 12 bits
Alarm functions with user-programmable upper and lower trigger points
Converts temperature to 12-bit digital word in 750ms (max)
Requires no external components
Power supply range of 3.0V to 5.5V
Typical standby current is less than 1 μA
Parasitic power mode requires only 2 pins
