DESCRIPTION
The DS1820 Digital Thermometer provides 9鈥揵it tem-
perature readings which indicate the temperature of the
device.
Information is sent to/from the DS1820 over a 1鈥揥ire
interface, so that only one wire (and ground) needs to be
connected from a central microprocessor to a DS1820.
Power for reading, writing, and performing temperature
conversions can be derived from the data line itself with
no need for an external power source.
Because each DS1820 contains a unique silicon serial
number, multiple DS1820s can exist on the same
1鈥揥ire bus. This allows for placing temperature sen-
sors in many different places. Applications where this
feature is useful include HVAC environmental controls,
sensing temperatures inside buildings, equipment or
machinery, and in process monitoring and control.
