DESCRIPTION
The DS18B20 digital thermometer provides 9-bit
to 12-bit Celsius temperature measurements and
has an alarm function with nonvolatile user-
programmable upper and lower trigger points.
The DS18B20 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 DS18B20 can derive power directly
from the data line (“parasite power”), eliminating
the need for an external power supply.
Each DS18B20 has a unique 64-bit serial code,
which allows multiple DS18B20s to function on
the same 1-Wire bus. Thus, it is simple to use one
microprocessor to control many DS18B20s
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.

OVERVIEW
Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the DS18B20, and pin descriptions are given in the Pin Description
table. The 64-bit ROM stores the device’s unique serial code. The scratchpad memory contains the 2-byte
temperature register that stores the digital output from the temperature sensor. In addition, the scratchpad
provides access to the 1-byte upper and lower alarm trigger registers (T
H
and T
L
) and the 1-byte
configuration register. The configuration register allows the user to set the resolution of the temperature-
to-digital conversion to 9, 10, 11, or 12 bits. The T
H
, T
L
, and configuration
registers are nonvolatile
(EEPROM), so they will retain data when the device is powered down.
The DS18B20 uses Maxim’s exclusive 1-Wire bus protocol that implements bus communication using
one control signal. The control line requires a weak pullup resistor since all devices are linked to the bus
via a 3-state or open-drain port (the DQ pin in the case of the DS18B20). In this bus system, the
microprocessor (the master device) identifies and addresses devices on the bus using each device’s unique
64-bit code. Because each device has a unique code, the number of devices that can be addressed on one
DS18B20
3 of 22
bus is virtually unlimited. The 1-Wire bus protocol, including detailed explanations of the commands and
“time slots,” is covered in the 1-Wire Bus System section.
Another feature of the DS18B20 is the ability to operate without an external power supply. Power is
instead supplied through the 1-Wire pullup resistor via the DQ pin when the bus is high. The high bus
signal also charges an internal capacitor (C
PP
), which then supplies power to the device when the bus is
low. This method of deriving power from the 1-Wire bus is referred to as “parasite power.” As an
alternative, the DS18B20 may also be powered by an external supply on V
DD
.

OPERATIONMEASURING TEMPERATURE
The core functionality of the DS18B20 is its direct-to-digital temperature sensor. The resolution of the
temperature sensor is user-configurable to 9, 10, 11, or 12 bits, corresponding to increments of 0.5°C,
0.25°C, 0.125°C, and 0.0625°C, respectively. The default resolution at power-up is 12-bit. The DS18B20
powers up in a low-power idle state. To initiate a temperature measurement and A-to-D conversion, the
master must issue a Convert T [44h] command. Following the conversion, the resulting thermal data is
stored in the 2-byte temperature register in the scratchpad memory and the DS18B20 returns to its idle
state. If the DS18B20 is powered by an external supply, the master can issue “read time slots” (see the
1-Wire Bus System section) after the Convert T command and the DS18B20 will respond by transmitting
0 while the temperature conversion is in progress and 1 when the conversion is done. If the DS18B20 is
powered with parasite power, this notification technique cannot be used since the bus must be pulled high
by a strong pullup during the entire temperature conversion. The bus requirements for parasite power are
explained in detail in the Powering the DS18B20 section.
The DS18B20 output temperature data is calibrated in degrees Celsius; for Fahrenheit applications, a
lookup table or conversion routine must be used. The temperature data is stored as a 16-bit sign-extended
two’s complement number in the temperature register (see Figure 2). The sign bits (S) indicate if the
temperature is positive or negative: for positive numbers S = 0 and for negative numbers S = 1. If the
DS18B20 is configured for 12-bit resolution, all bits in the temperature register will contain valid data.
For 11-bit resolution, bit 0 is undefined. For 10-bit resolution, bits 1 and 0 are undefined, and for 9-bit
resolution bits 2, 1, and 0 are undefined. Table 1 gives examples of digital output data and the
corresponding temperature reading for 12-bit resolution conversions.
