FEATURES
• Unique 1-wire interface requires only one
port pin for communication
• Each device has a unique 64-bit serial code
stored in an on-board ROM
• Multi-drop capability simplifies distributed
temperature sensing applications
• Requires no external components
• Can be powered from data line. Power supply
range is 3.0V to 5.5V
• Measures temperatures from –55°C to
+125°C (–67°F to +257°F)
• ±0.5°C accuracy from –10°C to +85°C
• 9-bit thermometer resolution
• Converts temperature in 750 ms (max.)
• User-definable nonvolatile alarm settings
• Alarm search command identifies and
addresses devices whose temperature is
outside of programmed limits (temperature
alarm condition)
• Applications include thermostatic controls,
industrial systems, consumer products,
thermometers, or any thermally sensitive
system

DESCRIPTION
The DS18S20 Digital Thermometer provides 9–bit centigrade temperature measurements and has an
alarm function with nonvolatile user-programmable upper and lower trigger points. The DS18S20
communicates over a 1-wire bus that by definition requires only one data line (and ground) for
communication with a central microprocessor. It has an operating temperature range of –55°C to +125°C
and is accurate to ±0.5°C over the range of –10°C to +85°C. In addition, the DS18S20 can derive power
directly from the data line (“parasite power”), eliminating the need for an external power supply.
Each DS18S20 has a unique 64-bit serial code, which allows multiple DS18S20s to function on the same
1–wire bus; thus, it is simple to use one microprocessor to control many DS18S20s 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.
