♦ Communicates to Host with a Single Digital Signal
at 15.4kbps or 125kbps Using 1-Wire Protocol
sufficient system that measures temperature and records
the result in a protected memory section. The recording
is done at a user-defined rate, both as a direct storage of
temperature values as well as in the form of a histogram.
Up to 2048 temperature values taken at equidistant intervals ranging from 1 to 255min can be stored. The histogram provides 63 data bins with a resolution of 2.0°C.
If the temperature leaves a user-programmable range,
the DS1921G also records when this happened, for how
long the temperature stayed outside the permitted range,
and if the temperature was too high or too low. An additional 512 bytes of read/write nonvolatile (NV) memory
allows storing information pertaining to the object to
which the DS1921G is associated. Data is transferred
serially through the 1-Wire® protocol, which requires only
a single data lead and a ground return. Every DS1921G
is factory lasered with a guaranteed unique, electrically
readable, 64-bit registration number that allows for absolute traceability. The durable stainless steel package is
highly resistant to environmental hazards such as dirt,
moisture, and shock. Accessories permit the DS1921G
to be mounted on almost any object including containers, pallets, and bags.

System requirement.
Maximum allowable pullup resistance is a function of the number of 1-Wire devices in the system and 1-Wire recovery
times. The specified value here applies to systems with only one device and with the minimum 1-Wire recovery times. For
more heavily loaded systems, an active pullup such as that found in the DS2480B may be required.
Capacitance on IO could be 800pF when power is first applied. If a 2.2kΩ resistor is used to pull up the data line, 2.5µs
after VPUP has been applied, the parasite capacitor does not affect normal communication.
These values are derived from simulation across process, voltage, and temperature and are not production tested.
Input load is to ground.
All voltages are referenced to ground.
VTL, VTH are a function of the internal supply voltage.
Voltage below which, during a falling edge of IO, a logic 0 is detected.
The voltage on IO must be less than or equal to VILMAX whenever the master drives the line low.
Voltage above which, during a rising edge on IO, a logic 1 is detected.
The I-V characteristic is linear for voltages less than 1V.
Numbers in bold are not in compliance with the published iButton standards. See the Comparison Table.
ε in Figure 15 represents the time required for the pullup circuitry to pull the voltage on the IO pin up from VIL to VTH.
δ in Figure 15 represents the time required for the pullup circuitry to pull the voltage on the IO pin up from VIL to the input
high threshold of the bus master.
This number was derived from a test conducted by Cemagref in Antony, France, in July 2000.
http://www.cemagref.fr/English/index.htm Test Report No. E42
Total accuracy is Δϑ plus 0.25°C quantization due to the 0.5°C digital resolution of the device.

Thermochron iButton
The DS1921G Thermochron iButton is an ideal device
to monitor the temperature of any object it is attached
to or shipped with, such as perishable goods or containers of temperature-sensitive chemicals. The
read/write NV memory can store an electronic copy of
shipping information, date of manufacture and other
important data written as clear as well as encrypted
files. Note that the initial sealing level of the DS1921G
achieves IP56. Aging and use conditions can degrade
the integrity of the seal over time, therefore, for applications with significant exposure to liquids, sprays, or
other similar environments, it is recommended to place

the Thermochron in the DS9107 iButton capsule. The
DS9107 provides a watertight enclosure that has been
rated to IP68 (refer to Application Note 4126:
Understanding the IP (Ingress Protection) Ratings of
iButton Data Loggers and Capsule).
Overview
Figure 1 shows the relationships between the major
control and memory sections of the DS1921G. The
device has seven main data components: 64-bit
lasered ROM; 256-bit scratchpad; 4096-bit generalpurpose SRAM; 256-bit register page of timekeeping,
control, and counter registers; 96 bytes of alarm timestamp and duration logging memory; 126 bytes of

histogram memory; and 2048 bytes of data-logging
memory. Except for the ROM and the scratchpad, all
other memory is arranged in a single linear address
space. All memory reserved for logging purposes,
including counter registers and several other registers, is read-only for the user. The timekeeping and
control registers are write protected while the device
is programmed for a mission.
The hierarchical structure of the 1-Wire protocol is
shown in Figure 2. The bus master must first provide
one of the seven ROM function commands: Read ROM,
Match ROM, Search ROM, Conditional Search ROM,
Skip ROM, Overdrive-Skip ROM, or Overdrive-Match
ROM. Upon completion of an Overdrive ROM command byte executed at standard speed, the device
enters overdrive mode, where all subsequent communication occurs at a higher speed. The protocol required
for these ROM function commands is described in
Figure 13. After a ROM function command is successfully executed, the memory functions become accessible and the master can provide any one of the seven
1-Wire NET
BUS
MASTER
available commands. The protocol for these memory
function commands is described in Figure 10. All data
is read and written least significant bit first.
Parasite Power
Figure 1 shows the parasite-powered circuitry. This circuitry “steals” power whenever the IO input is high. IO
provides sufficient power as long as the specified timing and voltage requirements are met. The advantages
of parasite power are two-fold: 1) By parasiting off this
input, battery power is not consumed for 1-Wire ROM
function commands, and 2) if the battery is exhausted
for any reason, the ROM may still be read normally. The
remaining circuitry of the DS1921G is solely operated
by battery energy.
64-Bit Lasered ROM
Each DS1921G contains a unique ROM code that is 64
bits long. The first 8 bits are a 1-Wire family code. The
next 48 bits are a unique serial number. The last 8 bits
are a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of the first 56 bits
(see Figure 3 for details). The 1-Wire CRC is generated

1-Wire CRC is available in Application Note 27:
Understanding and Using Cyclic Redundancy Checks
with Maxim iButton Products.
The Shift register bits are initialized to 0. Then, starting
with the least significant bit of the family code, one bit
at a time is shifted in. After the 8th bit of the family code
has been entered, the serial number is then entered.
After the 48th bit of the serial number has been
entered, the Shift register contains the CRC value.
Shifting in the 8 bits of CRC returns the Shift register to
all zeros.
Memory
Figure 5 shows the DS1921G memory map. The 4096bit general-purpose SRAM makes up pages 0 to 15.
The timekeeping, control, and counter registers fill
page 16, called register page (see Figure 6). Pages 17,
18, and 19 are assigned to storing the alarm timestamps and durations. The temperature histogram bins
begin at page 64 and use up to four pages. The temperature-logging memory covers pages 128 to 191.
Memory pages 20 to 63, 68 to 127, and 192 to 255 are
reserved for future extensions. The scratchpad is an
additional page that acts as a buffer when writing to the
SRAM memory or the register page. The memory
pages 17 and higher are read only for the user. They
are written to or erased solely under the supervision of
the on-chip control logic.

Detailed Register Descriptions
Timekeeping
The RTC/alarm and calendar information is accessed
by reading/writing the appropriate bytes in the register
page, address 0200h to 0206h. Note that some bits are
set to 0. These bits always read 0 regardless of how
they are written. The contents of the time, calendar, and
alarm registers are in the binary-coded decimal (BCD)
format.
RTC/Calendar
The RTC of the DS1921G can run in either 12hr or 24hr
mode. Bit 6 of the Hours register (address 0202h) is
defined as the 12hr or 24hr mode select bit. When high,
the 12hr mode is selected. In the 12hr mode, bit 5 is the
AM/PM bit with logic 1 being PM. In the 24hr mode, bit
5 is the 20hr bit (20hr to 23hr).
To distinguish between the days of the week, the
DS1921G includes a counter with a range from 1 to 7.
The assignment of a counter value to the day of week is
arbitrary. Typically, the number 1 is assigned to a
Sunday (U.S. standard) or to a Monday (European standard).
The calendar logic is designed to automatically compensate for leap years. For every year value that is
either 00 or a multiple of four, the device adds a 29th of
February. This works correctly up to (but not including)
the year 2100.
The DS1921G is Y2K compliant. Bit 7 (CENT) of the
Months register at address 0205h serves as a century
flag. When the Year register rolls over from 99 to 00, the
century flag toggles. It is recommended to write the
century bit to a 1 when setting the RTC to a time/date
between the years 2000 and 2099.

RTC Alarms
The DS1921G also contains an RTC alarm function. The
RTC Alarm registers are located in registers 0207h to
020Ah. The most significant bit of each of the alarm
registers is a mask bit. When all the mask bits are logic
0, an alarm occurs once per week when the values
stored in timekeeping registers 0200h to 0203h match
12
the values stored in the RTC Alarm registers. Any alarm
sets the timer alarm flag (TAF) in the device’s Status
register (address 214h). The bus master can set the
search conditions in the Control register (address
20Eh) to identify devices with timer alarms by means of
the conditional search function (see the ROM Function
Commands section).

Temperature Conversion
The DS1921G measures temperatures with a resolution
of 0.5°C. Temperature values are represented in a single byte as an unsigned binary number, which translates into a theoretical range of 128°C. The range,
however, has been limited to values from 0000 0000
(00h) through 1111 1010 (FAh). The codes 01h to F9h
are considered valid temperature readings.
If a temperature conversion yields a temperature that is
out of range, it is recorded as 00h (if too low) or FAh (if
too high). Since out-of-range results are accumulated in
histogram bins 0 and 62 (see the Temperature Logging
and Histogram section), the data in these bins is of limited value. For this reason the specified temperature
range of the DS1921G is considered to begin at code
04h and end at code F7h, which corresponds to histogram bins 1 to 61.
With T[7…0] representing the decimal equivalent of a temperature reading, the temperature value is calculated as
ϑ(°C) = T[7…0]/2 - 40.0
This equation is valid for converting temperature readings stored in the data-log memory as well as for data
read from the Forced Temperature Conversion Readout
register (address 0211h).
To specify the temperature alarm thresholds, this equation needs to be resolved to
T[7…0] = 2 x ϑ(°C) + 80.0
A value of 23°C, for example, thus translates into 126
decimal or 7Eh. This corresponds to the binary patterns
0111 1110, which could be written to a Temperature
Alarm register (address 020Bh and 020Ch, respectively).
Sample Rate
The content of the Sample Rate register (address
020Dh) determines how many minutes the temperature
conversions are apart from each other during a mission.
The sample rate can be any value from 1 to 255, coded
as an unsigned 8-bit binary number. If the memory has
been cleared (Status register bit MEMCLR = 1) and a
mission is enabled (Control register bit EM = 0), writing
a nonzero value to the Sample Rate register starts a mission. For a full description of the correct sequence of
steps to start a temperature-logging mission, see the
Missioning or Mission Example: Prepare and Start a
New Mission sections.

Control Register
The DS1921G is set up for its operation by writing
appropriate data to its special function registers that
are located in the register page. Several functions that
are controlled by a single bit only are combined into a
single byte called the Control register (address 020Eh).
This register can be read and written. If the device is
programmed for a mission, writing to the Control register ends the mission and changes the register contents.
The functional assignments of the individual bits are
explained below. Bit 5 has no function. It always reads
0 and cannot be written to 1.
Bit 7: Enable Oscillator (EOSC). This bit controls the
crystal oscillator of the RTC. When set to logic 0, the
oscillator starts operation. When written to logic 1, the
oscillator stops and the device is in a low-power dataretention mode. This bit must be 0 for normal operation. The RTC must have advanced at least 1 second
before a Mission Start is accepted.
Bit 6: Memory Clear Enable (EMCLR). This bit needs
to be set to logic 1 to enable the Clear Memory function, which is invoked as a memory function command.
The timestamp, histogram memory as well as the
Mission Timestamp, Mission Samples Counter, Mission
Start Delay, and Sample Rate are cleared only if the
Clear Memory command is issued with the next
access to the device. The EMCLR bit returns to 0 as
the next memory function command is executed.
Bit 4: Enable Mission (EM). This bit controls whether
the DS1921G begins a mission as soon as the sample
rate is written. To enable the device for a mission, this
bit must be 0.
Bit 3: Rollover Enable/Disable (RO). This bit controls
whether the temperature logging memory is overwritten
with new data or whether data logging is stopped once
the memory is filled with data during a mission. Setting
this bit to a 1 enables the rollover and data logging
continues at the beginning, overwriting previously collected data. Clearing this bit to 0 disables the rollover
14
and no further temperature values are stored in the
temperature logging memory once it is filled with data.
This does not stop the mission. The device continues
measuring temperatures and updating the histogram
and alarm timestamps and durations.
Bit 2: Temperature Low Alarm Search (TLS). If this
bit is 1, the device responds to a Conditional Search
ROM command if, during a mission, the temperature
has reached or is lower than the Low Temperature
Threshold stored at address 020Bh.
Bit 1: Temperature High Alarm Search (THS). If this
bit is 1, the device responds to a Conditional Search
ROM command if, during a mission, the temperature
has reached or is higher than the High Temperature
Threshold stored at address 020Ch.
Bit 0: Timer Alarm Search (TAS). If this bit is 1, the
device responds to a Conditional Search ROM command if, during a mission, a timer alarm has occurred.
Since a timer alarm cannot be disabled, the TAF flag
usually reads 1 during a mission. Therefore, it is advisable to set the TAS bit to a 0, in most cases.
Mission Start Delay Counter
The content of the Mission Start Delay Counter register
determines how many minutes the device waits before
starting the logging process. The Mission Start Delay
value is stored as an unsigned 16-bit integer number at
addresses 0212h (low byte) and 0213h (high byte). The
maximum delay is 65,535 minutes, equivalent to 45
days, 12 hours, and 15 minutes.
For a typical mission, the Mission Start Delay is 0. If a
mission is too long for a single DS1921G to store all
temperature readings at the selected sample rate, one
can use several devices, staggering the Mission Start
Delay to record the full period. In this case, the rollover
enable (RO) bit in the Control register (address 020Eh)
must be set to 0 to prevent overwriting of the recorded
temperature log after the data-log memory is full. See
the Mission Start and Logging Process section and
Figure 11 for details.

Status Register
The Status register holds device status information
and alarm flags. The register is located at address
0214h. Writing to this register does not necessarily
end a mission.
The functional assignments of the individual bits are
explained below. The bits MIP, TLF, THF, and TAF can
only be written to 0. All other bits are read-only. Bit 3
has no function.
Bit 7: Temperature Core Busy (TCB). If this bit reads
0, the DS1921G is currently performing a temperature
conversion. This temperature conversion is either selfinitiated because of a mission being in progress or initiated by a command when a mission is not in progress.
The TCB bit goes low just before a conversion starts
and returns to high just after the result is latched into
the Read-Out register at address 0211h.
Bit 6: Memory Cleared (MEMCLR). If this bit reads 1,
the memory pages 17 and higher (alarm timestamps/
durations, temperature histogram, excluding data-log
memory), as well as the Mission Timestamp, Mission
Samples Counter, Mission Start Delay, and Sample
Rate have been cleared to 0 from executing a Clear
Memory function command. The MEMCLR bit returns to
0 as soon as writing a nonzero value to the Sample
Rate register starts a new mission, provided that the EM
bit is also 0. The memory has to be cleared in order
for a mission to start.
Bit 5: Mission in Progress (MIP). If this bit reads 1, the
DS1921G has been set up for a mission and this mission is still in progress. A mission is started if the EM bit
of the Control register (address 20Eh) is 0 and a nonzero value is written to the Sample Rate register, address
20Dh. The MIP bit returns from logic 1 to logic 0 when a
mission is ended. A mission ends with the first write
attempt (Copy Scratchpad command) to any register in
the address range of 200h to 213h. Alternatively, a mission can be ended by directly writing to the Status register and setting the MIP bit to 0. The MIP bit cannot be
set to 1 by writing to the Status register.
BIT 4: Sample in Progress (SIP). If this bit reads 1, the
DS1921G is currently performing a temperature conversion as part of a mission in progress. The mission samples occur on the seconds rollover from 59 to 00. The
SIP bit changes from 0 to 1 approximately 250ms
before the actual temperature conversion begins allowing the circuitry of the chip to wake up. A temperature
conversion including a wake-up phase takes maximum
875ms. During this time, read accesses to the memory
pages 17 and higher are permissible but can reveal
invalid data.
Bit 2: Temperature Low Flag (TLF). Logic 1 in the
temperature low flag bit indicates that a temperature
measurement during a mission revealed a temperature
equal to or lower than the value in the Temperature Low
Threshold register. The temperature low flag can be
cleared at any time by writing this bit to 0. This flag
must be cleared before starting a new mission.
Bit 1: Temperature High Flag (THF). Logic 1 in the
temperature high flag bit indicates that a temperature
measurement during a mission revealed a temperature
equal to or higher than the value in the Temperature
High Threshold register. The temperature high flag can
be cleared at any time by writing this bit to 0. This flag
must be cleared before starting a new mission.
Bit 0: Timer Alarm Flag (TAF). If this bit reads 1, a
RTC alarm has occurred (see the Timekeeping section
for details). The timer alarm flag can be cleared at any
time by writing this bit to logic 0. Since the timer alarm
cannot be disabled, the TAF flag usually reads 1 during
a mission. This flag should be cleared before starting a
new mission.

Mission Timestamp
Temperature Logging and Histogram
The Mission Timestamp register indicates the time and
date of the first temperature conversion of a mission.
Subsequent temperature conversions take place as
many minutes apart from each other as specified by the
value in the Sample Rate register. Mission samples
occur on minute boundaries.
Once set up for a mission, the DS1921G logs the temperature measurements simultaneously byte after byte
in the data-log memory as well as in histogram form in
the histogram memory. The data-log memory is able to
store 2,048 temperature values measured at equidistant time points. The first temperature value of a mission
is written to address location 1000h of the data-log
memory, the second value to address location 1001h
and so on. Knowing the starting time point (Mission
Timestamp register), the interval between temperature
measurements, the Mission Samples Counter register,
and the rollover setting, one can reconstruct the time
and date of each measurement stored in the data log.
There are two alternatives to the way the DS1921G
behaves after the 2048 bytes of data-log memory is
filled with data. With rollover disabled (RO = 0), the
device fills the data-log memory with the first 2048 mission samples. Additional mission samples are not
logged in the data-log, but the histogram and temperature alarm RAM continue to update. With rollover
enabled (RO = 1), the data log wraps around and overwrites previous data starting at 1000h for the every
2049th mission sample. In this mode, the device stores
the last 2048 mission samples.
Mission Samples Counter
The Mission Samples Counter register indicates how
many temperature measurements have taken place
during the current mission in progress (if MIP = 1) or
during the latest mission (if MIP = 0). The value is
stored as an unsigned 24-bit integer number. This
counter is reset through the Clear Memory command.
Device Samples Counter
The Device Samples Counter register indicates how
many temperature measurements have taken place
since the device was assembled at the factory. The
value is stored as an unsigned, 24-bit integer number.
The maximum number that can be represented in this
format is 16,777,215, which is higher than the expected
lifetime of the DS1921G iButton. This counter cannot be
reset under software control.

DS1921G
TEMPERATURE READING
Figure 7. Histogram Bin and Temperature Cross-Reference
For the temperature histogram, the DS1921G provides
63 bins that begin at memory address 0800h. Each bin
consists of a 16-bit, nonrolling-over binary counter that
is incremented each time a temperature value acquired
during a mission falls into the range of the bin. The least
significant byte of each bin is stored at the lower
address. Bin 0 begins at memory address 0800h, bin 1
at 0802h, and so on up to 087Ch for bin 62, as shown
in Figure 7. The number of the bin to be updated after a
temperature conversion is determined by cutting off the
two least significant bits of the binary temperature
value. Out-of-range values are range locked and counted as 00h or FAh.
Since each data bin is 2 bytes, it can increment up to
65,535 times. Additional measurements for a bin that
has already reached its maximum value are not counted; the bin counter remains at its maximum value. With
the fastest sample rate of one sample every minute, a
2-byte bin is sufficient for up to 45 days if all temperature readings fall into the same bin.
Temperature Alarm Logging
For some applications it is essential to not only record
temperature over time and the temperature histogram,
but also record when exactly the temperature exceeded a predefined tolerance band and for how long the
temperature stayed outside the desirable range. The
DS1921G can log high and low durations. The tolerance band is specified by means of the Temperature
Alarm Threshold registers, addresses 20Bh and 20Ch
in the register page. One can set a high temperature
and low temperature threshold. See the Temperature
Conversion section for the data format the temperature
has to be written in. As long as the temperature values
stay within the tolerance band (i.e., are higher than the
low threshold and lower than the high threshold), the
DS1921G does not record any temperature alarm. If the
temperature during a mission reaches or exceeds
either threshold, the DS1921G generates an alarm and
sets either the temperature high flag (THF) or the temperature low flag (TLF) in the Status register (address

214h). This way, if the search conditions (address
20Eh) are set accordingly, the master can quickly identify devices with temperature alarms by means of the
conditional search function (see the ROM Function
Commands section). The device also generates a timestamp of when the alarm occurred and begins recording the duration of the alarming temperature.
Timestamps and durations where the temperature
leaves the tolerance band are stored in the address
range 0220h to 027Fh, as shown in Figure 8. This allocation allows recording 24 individual alarm events and
periods (12 periods for too hot and 12 for too cold). The
date and time of each of these periods can be determined from the Mission Timestamp register and the
time distance between each temperature reading.
The alarm timestamp is a copy of the Mission Samples
Counter register when the alarm first occurred. The
least significant byte is stored at the lower address.
One address higher than the timestamp, the DS1921G
maintains a 1-byte duration counter that stores the
number of samples the temperature was found to be
beyond the threshold. If this counter has reached its
limit after 255 consecutive temperature readings and
the temperature has not yet returned to within the tolerance band, the device issues another timestamp at the
next higher alarm location and opens another counter
to record the duration. If the temperature returns to normal before the counter has reached its limit, the dura-
18
tion counter of the particular timestamp does not increment any further. Should the temperature again cross
this threshold, it is recorded at the next available alarm
location. This algorithm is implemented for the low temperature thresholds as well as for the high temperature
threshold.
Missioning
The typical task of the DS1921G iButton is recording
the temperature of a temperature-sensitive object.
Before the device can perform this function, it needs to
be configured. This procedure is called missioning.
First, the DS1921G must have its RTC set to a valid time
and date. This reference time can be UTC (also called
GMT, Greenwich Mean Time) or any other time standard that was chosen for the application. The clock
must be running (EOSC = 0) for at least one second.
Setting an RTC alarm is optional. The memory assigned
to store the alarm timestamps and durations, temperature histogram, Mission Timestamp, Mission Samples
Counter, Mission Start Delay, and Sample Rate must be
cleared using the Clear Memory command. In case
there were temperature alarms in the previous mission,
the TLF and THF flags need to be cleared manually. To
enable the device for a mission, the EM flag must be
set to 0. These are general settings that have to be
made regardless of the type of object to be monitored
and the duration of the mission.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Thermochron iButton
Address Registers and
Transfer Status
Because of the serial data transfer, the DS1921G
employs three address registers, called TA1, TA2, and
E/S (Figure 9). Registers TA1 and TA2 must be loaded
with the target address to which the data is written or
from which data is sent to the master upon a read command. Register E/S acts like a byte counter and transfer
status register. It is used to verify data integrity with
write commands. Therefore, the master has only read
access to this register. The lower 5 bits of the E/S register indicate the address of the last byte that has been
written to the scratchpad. This address is called Ending
Offset. Bit 5 of the E/S register, called PF or partial byte
flag, is set if the number of data bits sent by the master
is not an integer multiple of 8. Bit 6 is always a 0. Note
that the lowest 5 bits of the target address also determine the address within the scratchpad where intermediate storage of data begins. This address is called
byte offset. If the target address for a write command is
13Ch, for example, then the scratchpad stores incoming data beginning at the byte offset 1Ch and is full
after only 4 bytes. The corresponding ending offset in
this example is 1Fh. For the best economy of speed
and efficiency, the target address for writing should
point to the beginning of a new page, i.e., the byte offset is 0. Thus, the full 32-byte capacity of the scratchpad is available, resulting also in the ending offset of
1Fh. However, it is possible to write one or several contiguous bytes somewhere within a page. The ending
offset together with the partial and overflow flag are a
means to support the master checking the data integrity after a write command. The highest valued bit of the
E/S register, called authorization accepted (AA), indicates that a valid copy command for the scratchpad
has been received and executed. Writing data to the
scratchpad clears this flag.
Writing with Verification
To write data to the DS1921G, the scratchpad must be
used as intermediate storage. First, the master issues
the Write Scratchpad command to specify the desired
target address, followed by the data to be written to the
scratchpad. In the next step, the master sends the
Read Scratchpad command to read the scratchpad
and to verify data integrity. As preamble to the scratchpad data, the DS1921G sends the requested target
address TA1 and TA2 and the contents of the E/S register. If the PF flag is set, data did not arrive correctly in

reading; it can start a new trial to write data to the
scratchpad. Similarly, a set AA flag indicates that the

Next, the low temperature and high temperature thresholds that specify the temperature tolerance band must
be defined. The Temperature Conversion section
describes how to convert a temperature value into the
binary code to be written to the threshold registers.
The state of the search condition bits in the Control
register does not affect the mission. If multiple devices
are connected to form a 1-Wire net, the setting of the
search condition enables these devices to participate
in the conditional search if certain events, such as
timer or temperature alarms, have occurred. Details
on the search conditions are found in the ROM
Function Commands section and in the Control register description.
The setting of the rollover-enable bit (RO) and sample
rate depends on the duration of the mission and the
monitoring requirements. If the most recent temperature
history is important, the rollover should be enabled
(RO = 1). Otherwise, one should estimate the duration
of the mission in minutes and divide the number by
2048 to calculate the value of the sample rate (number
of minutes between temperature conversions). For
example, if the estimated duration of a mission is 10
days (14,400min), then the 2048-byte capacity of the
data-log memory would be sufficient to store a new
value every 7min. If the DS1921G’s data-log memory is
not large enough to store all temperature readings, one
can use several devices and set the Mission Start Delay
to values that make the second device start recording
as soon as the memory of the first device is full and so
on. The RO bit needs to be set to 0 to disable rollover
that would otherwise overwrite the recorded temperature log.
After the RO bit and the Mission Start Delay are set, the
Sample Rate register is the last element of data that is
written. The sample rate can be any value from 1 to
255, coded as an unsigned 8-bit binary number. As
soon as the sample rate is written, the DS1921G sets
the MIP flag and clears the MEMCLR flag. After as
many minutes as specified by the Mission Start Delay
are over, the device waits for the next minute boundary,
then wakes up, copies the current time and date to the
Mission Timestamp register, and makes the first temperature conversion of the mission. This increments
both the Mission Samples Counter and Device Samples
Counter. All subsequent temperature measurements
are taken on minute boundaries specified by the value
in the Sample Rate register. One can read the memory
of the DS1921G to watch the mission as it progresses.
Care should be taken to avoid memory access conflicts. See the Memory Access Conflicts section for
details.

write command was not recognized by the device. If
everything went correctly, both flags are cleared and
the ending offset indicates the address of the last byte
written to the scratchpad. Now the master can continue
verifying every data bit. After the master has verified the
data, it has to send the Copy Scratchpad command.
This command must be followed exactly by the data of
the three address registers TA1, TA2, and E/S as the
master has read them verifying the scratchpad. As
soon as the DS1921G has received these bytes, it
copies the data to the requested location beginning at
the target address.
Memory/Control Function
Commands
The Memory/Control Function Flowchart (Figure 10)
describes the protocols necessary for accessing the
memory and the special function registers of the
DS1921G. An example on how to use these and other
functions to set up the DS1921G for a mission is included in the Mission Example: Prepare and Start a New
Mission section. The communication between master
and DS1921G takes place either at standard speed
(default, OD = 0) or at overdrive speed (OD = 1). If not
explicitly set into the overdrive mode, the DS1921G
assumes standard speed. Internal memory access during a mission has priority over external access through
the 1-Wire interface. This affects the read memory commands described below. See the Memory Access
Conflicts section for details.
20
Write Scratchpad [0Fh]
After issuing the Write Scratchpad command, the master must first provide the 2-byte target address, followed by the data to be written to the scratchpad. The
data is written to the scratchpad starting at the byte offset T[4:0]. The ending offset E[4:0] is the byte offset at
which the master stops writing data. Only full data
bytes are accepted. If the last data byte is incomplete,
its content is ignored and the partial byte flag (PF) is
set.
When executing the Write Scratchpad command, the
CRC generator inside the DS1921G (see Figure 16) calculates a CRC of the entire data stream, starting at the
command code and ending at the last data byte sent
by the master. This CRC is generated using the CRC16 polynomial by first clearing the CRC generator and
then shifting in the command code (0Fh) of the Write
Scratchpad command, the target addresses TA1 and
TA2 as supplied by the master, and all the data bytes.
The master can end the Write Scratchpad command at
any time. However, if the ending offset is 11111b, the
master can send 16 read time slots and receive an
inverted CRC-16 generated by the DS1921G.
Note: The range 200h to 213h of the register page is
protected during a mission. See Figure 6 for the
access type of the individual registers between and
during missions.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Thermochron iButton
Copy Scratchpad [55h]
This command is used to copy data from the scratchpad to the writable memory sections. Applying a Copy
Scratchpad command to the Sample Rate register can
start a mission provided that several preconditions are
met. See the Mission Start and Logging Process section and the flowchart in Figure 11 for details. After issuing the Copy Scratchpad command, the master must
provide a 3-byte authorization pattern, which can be
obtained by reading the scratchpad for verification.
This pattern must exactly match the data contained in
the three address registers (TA1, TA2, E/S, in that
order). If the pattern matches, the AA flag is set and the
copy begins. A pattern of alternating “1”s and “0”s is
transmitted after the data has been copied until the
master issues a reset pulse. While the copy is in
progress, any attempt to reset the part is ignored. Copy
typically takes 2µs per byte.
The data to be copied is determined by the three
address registers. The scratchpad data from the beginning offset through the ending offset is copied, starting
at the target address. Anywhere from 1 to 32 bytes can
be copied to memory with this command. The AA flag
remains at logic 1 until it is cleared by the next Write
Scratchpad command. Note that the Copy Scratchpad
command, when applied to the address range 200h to
213h during a mission, ends the mission.
Read Memory [F0h]
The Read Memory command can be used to read the
entire memory. After issuing the command, the master
must provide the 2-byte target address. After the 2
bytes, the master reads data beginning from the target
address and can continue until the end of memory, at
which point logic “0”s are read. It is important to realize
that the target address registers contain the address
provided. The ending offset/data status byte is unaffected.
The hardware of the DS1921G provides a means to
accomplish error-free writing to the memory section. To
safeguard data in the 1-Wire environment when reading and to simultaneously speed up data transfers, it is
recommended to packetize data into data packets of
the size of one memory page each. Such a packet
would typically store a 16-bit CRC with each page of
data to ensure rapid, error-free data transfers that eliminate having to read a page multiple times to verify if
the received data is correct (refer to Application Note
114: 1-Wire File Structure for the recommended file
structure).

DS1921G
Read Scratchpad [AAh]
This command is used to verify scratchpad data and
target addresses. After issuing the Read Scratchpad
command, the master begins reading. The first 2 bytes
are the target address. The next byte is the ending offset/data status byte (E/S) followed by the scratchpad
data beginning at the byte offset T[4:0], as shown in
Figure 9. Regardless of the actual ending offset, the
master can read data until the end of the scratchpad
after which it receives an inverted CRC-16 of the command code, target addresses TA1 and TA2, the E/S
byte, and the scratchpad data starting at the target
address. After the CRC is read, the bus master reads
logical “1”s from the DS1921G until a reset pulse is
issued.

Thermochron iButton
After having sent the command code of the Read
Memory with CRC command, the bus master sends a
2-byte address (TA1 = T[7:0], TA2 = T[15:8]) that indicates a starting byte location. With the subsequent
read-data time slots, the master receives data from the
DS1921G starting at the initial address and continues
until the end of a 32-byte page is reached. At that point
the bus master sends 16 additional read-data time slots
and receives an inverted 16-bit CRC. With subsequent
read-data time slots the master receives data starting at
the beginning of the next page followed again by the
inverted CRC for that page. This sequence continues
until the bus master resets the device.
With the initial pass through the Read Memory with
CRC command flow, the 16-bit CRC value is the result
of shifting the command byte into the cleared CRC generator followed by the two address bytes and the contents of the data memory. Subsequent passes through
the Read Memory with CRC command flow generate a
16-bit CRC that is the result of clearing the CRC generator and then shifting in the contents of the data memory page. After the 16-bit CRC of the last page is read,
the bus master receives logical “0”s from the DS1921G
and inverted CRC-16s at page boundaries until a reset
pulse is issued. The Read Memory with CRC command
sequence can be ended at any point by issuing a reset
pulse.
Clear Memory [3Ch]
The Clear Memory command is used to clear the
Sample Rate, Mission Start Delay, Mission Timestamp,
and Mission Samples Counter in the register page and
the temperature alarm memory and the temperature
histogram memory. These memory areas must be
cleared for the device to be set up for another mission.
The Clear Memory command does not clear the datalog memory or the temperature and timer alarm flags in
the Status register. The RTC oscillator must be on and
have counted at least 1s before issuing the command.
For the Clear Memory command to function, the
EMCLR bit in the Control register must be set to 1, and
the Clear Memory command must be issued with the
very next access to the device’s memory functions.
Issuing any other memory function command resets the
EMCLR bit. The Clear Memory process takes 500µs.
When the command is completed the MEMCLR bit in
the Status register reads 1 and the EMCLR bit is 0.
Convert Temperature [44h]
If a mission is not in progress (MIP = 0), the Convert
Temperature command can be issued to measure the
current temperature of the device. The result of the temperature conversion can be found at memory address
211h in the register page. This command takes maximum 90ms to complete. During this time the device
remains fully accessible for memory/control and ROM
function commands.
Mission Start and Logging Process
The DS1921G does not use a special command to start
a mission. Instead, a mission is started by writing a
nonzero value to the Sample Rate register using the
Copy Scratchpad command. As shown in Figure 11, a
new mission can only be started if the previous mission
has been stopped (MIP = 0), the memory is cleared
(MEMCLR = 1), and the mission is enabled (EM = 0). If
the new sample rate is different from zero, the value is
copied to the Sample Rate register. At the same time
the MIP bit is set and the MEMCLR bit is cleared to indicate that the device is on a mission. Next, the Mission
Start Delay Counter starts decrementing every minute
until it is down to 0. Now the DS1921G waits until the
next minute boundary and starts the logging process,
which as its first action copies the applicable RTC registers to the Mission Timestamp register.
Stop Mission
The DS1921G does not have a special command to
stop a mission. A mission can be stopped at any time
by writing to any address in the range of 0200h to
0213h or by writing the MIP bit of the Status register at
address 0214h to 0. Either approach involves the use of
the Copy Scratchpad command. There is no need for
the Mission Start Delay to expire before a mission can
be stopped (see Figure 11).
Memory Access Conflicts
While a mission is in progress, a temperature sample is
periodically taken and stored in the data-log, histogram, and potential alarm memory. This “internal
activity” has priority over a Read Memory command’s
or Read Memory with CRC command’s access to these
pages. If a conflict occurs, the data read may be
invalid, even if the CRC value matches the data. To
ensure that the data read is valid, it is recommended to
first read the SIP bit of the Status register. If the SIP bit
is set, delay reading the data-log, histogram, and alarm
memory until SIP is 0. The interference is more likely to
be seen with a high sample rate (one sample every

Read Memory with CRC [A5h]
The Read Memory with CRC command is used to read
memory data that cannot be packetized, such as the

the simple Read Memory command, except for the 16bit CRC that the DS1921G generates and transmits following the last data byte of a memory page.

a maximum data rate of 16.3kbps. The speed can be
boosted to 142kbps by activating the overdrive mode.
The DS1921G is not guaranteed to be fully compliant to
the iButton standard. Its maximum data rate in standard
speed is 15.4kbps and 125kbps in overdrive. The value
of the pullup resistor primarily depends on the network
size and load conditions. The DS1921G requires a
pullup resistor of maximum 2.2kΩ at any speed.
The idle state for the 1-Wire bus is high. If for any reason a transaction needs to be suspended, the bus
must be left in the idle state if the transaction is to
resume. If this does not occur and the bus is left low for
more than 16µs (overdrive speed) or more than 120µs
(standard speed), one or more devices on the bus may
be reset. Note that the DS1921G does not quite meet
the full 16µs maximum low time of the normal 1-Wire
bus overdrive timing. With the DS1921G the bus must
be left low for no longer than 15µs at overdrive speed to
ensure that no DS1921G on the 1-Wire bus performs a
reset. The DS1921G communicates properly when
used in conjunction with a DS2480B or DS2490 1-Wire
driver and adapters that are based on these driver
chips.
1-Wire Bus System
The 1-Wire bus is a system that has a single bus master
and one or more slaves. In all instances the DS1921G
is a slave device. The bus master is typically a microcontroller. The discussion of this bus system is broken
down into three topics: hardware configuration, transaction sequence, and 1-Wire signaling (signal types
and timing). The 1-Wire protocol defines bus transactions in terms of the bus state during specific time slots
that are initiated on the falling edge of sync pulses from
the bus master.
Hardware Configuration
Transaction Sequence
The 1-Wire bus has only a single line by definition; it is
important that each device on the bus be able to drive
it at the appropriate time. To facilitate this, each device
attached to the 1-Wire bus must have open-drain or
three-state outputs. The 1-Wire port of the DS1921G is
open drain with an internal circuit equivalent to that
shown in Figure 12.
A multidrop bus consists of a 1-Wire bus with multiple
slaves attached. At standard speed the 1-Wire bus has
The protocol for accessing the DS1921G through the
1-Wire port is as follows:

• Memory/Control Function Command

minute). Since all mission samples occur on the seconds rollover (59 to 00), memory conflicts can be avoided by first reading the RTC seconds counter. For
example, if it takes 2s to read the data log, then avoid
starting the memory read if the seconds counter is 58,
59, or 00. Alternatively, one can read the affected memory section twice and accept the data only if both readings match. In any case, when writing driver software, it
is important to know about the possibility of interference
and to take measures to work around it.
DS1921G
Thermochron iButton
Initialization
All transactions on the 1-Wire bus begin with an initialization sequence. The initialization sequence consists
of a reset pulse transmitted by the bus master, followed
by presence pulse(s) transmitted by the slave(s). The
presence pulse lets the bus master know that the
DS1921G is on the bus and is ready to operate. For
more details, see the 1-Wire Signaling section.
ROM Function Commands
Once the bus master has detected a presence, it can
issue one of the seven ROM function commands. All
ROM function commands are 8 bits long. A list of these
commands follows (see the flowchart in Figure 13).
Read ROM [33h]
This command allows the bus master to read the
DS1921G’s 8-bit family code, unique 48-bit serial number and 8-bit CRC. This command can only be used if
there is a single slave on the bus. If more than one
slave is present on the bus, a data collision occurs
when all slaves try to transmit at the same time (open
drain produces a wired-AND result). The resultant family code and 48-bit serial number result in a mismatch of
the CRC.
Match ROM [55h]
The Match ROM command, followed by a 64-bit ROM
sequence, allows the bus master to address a specific
DS1921G on a multidrop bus. Only the DS1921G that
exactly matches the 64-bit ROM sequence responds to
the memory function command. All other slaves wait for
a reset pulse. This command can be used with a single
device or multiple devices on the bus.
Search ROM [F0h]
When a system is initially brought up, the bus master
might not know the number of devices on the 1-Wire
bus or their registration numbers. By taking advantage
of the wired-AND property of the bus, the master can
use a process of elimination to identify the registration
numbers of all slave devices. For each bit of the registration number, starting with the least significant bit, the
bus master issues a triplet of time slots. On the first slot,
each slave device participating in the search outputs
the true value of its registration number bit. On the second slot, each slave device participating in the search
outputs the complemented value of its registration number bit. On the third slot, the master writes the true
28
value of the bit to be selected. All slave devices that do
not match the bit written by the master stop participating in the search. If both of the read bits are zero, the
master knows that slave devices exist with both states
of the bit. By choosing which state to write, the bus
master branches in the ROM code tree. After one complete pass, the bus master knows the registration number of a single device. Additional passes identify the
registration numbers of the remaining devices. Refer to
Application Note 187: 1-Wire Search Algorithm for a
detailed discussion, including an example.
Conditional Search ROM [ECh]
The Conditional Search ROM command operates similarly to the Search ROM command except that only
devices fulfilling the specified condition participate in
the search. The condition is specified by the bit functions TAS, THS, and TLS in the Control register,
address 20Eh. The Conditional Search ROM provides
an efficient means for the bus master to determine
devices on a multidrop system that have to signal an
important event, such as a temperature leaving the tolerance band. After each pass of the conditional search
that successfully determined the 64-bit ROM code for a
specific device on the multidrop bus, that particular
device can be individually accessed as if a Match ROM
command had been issued, since all other devices
have dropped out of the search process and are waiting for a reset pulse.
For the conditional search, one can select any combination of the three search conditions by writing the
associated bit to a logical 1. These bits correspond
directly to the flags in the Status register of the device.
If the flag in the Status register reads 1 and the corresponding bit in the Control register is a logical 1 too,
the device responds to the Conditional Search ROM
command. If more than one bit search condition is
selected, the first event that occurs makes the device
respond to the Conditional Search ROM command.
Skip ROM [CCh]
This command can save time in a single-drop bus system by allowing the bus master to access the memory
functions without providing the 64-bit ROM code. If
more than one slave is present on the bus and, for
example, a read command is issued following the Skip
ROM command, data collision occurs on the bus as
multiple slaves transmit simultaneously (open-drain
pulldowns produce a wired-AND result).

standard speed at the next reset pulse of minimum
480µs duration. The Overdrive-Match ROM command
can be used with a single or multiple devices on the
bus.
1-Wire Signaling
The DS1921G requires strict protocols to ensure data
integrity. The protocol consists of four types of signaling
on one line: reset sequence with reset pulse and presence pulse, write-zero, write-one, and read-data. Except
for the presence pulse, the bus master initiates all these
signals. The DS1921G can communicate at two different
speeds: standard speed and overdrive speed. If not
explicitly set into the overdrive mode, the DS1921G
communicates at standard speed. While in overdrive
mode, the fast timing applies to all waveforms.
To get from idle to active, the voltage on the 1-Wire line
needs to fall from VPUP below the threshold VTL. To get
from active to idle, the voltage needs to rise from
VILMAX past the threshold VTH. The time it takes for the
voltage to make this rise is seen in Figure 14 as “ε” and
its duration depends on the pullup resistor (RPUP) used
and the capacitance of the 1-Wire network attached.
The voltage VILMAX is relevant for the DS1921G when
determining a logical level, but not for triggering any
events.
The initialization sequence required to begin any communication with the DS1921G is shown in Figure 14. A
reset pulse followed by a presence pulse indicates the
DS1921G is ready to receive data, given the correct
ROM and memory function command. If the bus master
uses slew-rate control on the falling edge, it must pull
down the line for tRSTL + tF to compensate for the edge.
Overdrive-Match ROM [69h]
The Overdrive-Match ROM command followed by a 64bit ROM sequence transmitted at overdrive speed
allows the bus master to address a specific DS1921G
on a multidrop bus and to simultaneously set it in overdrive mode. Only the DS1921G that exactly matches
the 64-bit ROM sequence responds to the subsequent
memory/control function command. Slaves already in
overdrive mode from a previous Overdrive-Skip or successful Overdrive-Match ROM command remain in
overdrive mode. All overdrive-capable slaves return to

DS1921G
Overdrive-Skip ROM [3Ch]
On a single-drop bus this command can save time by
allowing the bus master to access the memory/control
functions without providing the 64-bit ROM code. Unlike
the normal Skip ROM command, the Overdrive-Skip
ROM command sets the DS1921G in the overdrive
mode (OD = 1). All communication following this command must occur at overdrive speed until a reset pulse
of minimum 480µs duration resets all devices on the
bus to standard speed (OD = 0).
When issued on a multidrop bus, this command sets all
overdrive-supporting devices into overdrive mode. To
subsequently address a specific overdrive-supporting
device, a reset pulse at overdrive speed must be
issued followed by a Match ROM or Search ROM command sequence. This speeds up the time for the
search process. If more than one slave supporting
overdrive is present on the bus and the Overdrive-Skip
ROM command is followed by a read command, data
collision occurs on the bus as multiple slaves transmit
simultaneously (open-drain pulldowns produce a wiredAND result).
DS1921G
Thermochron iButton
A tRSTL duration of 480µs or longer exits the overdrive
mode, returning the device to standard speed. If the
DS1921G is in overdrive mode and tRSTL is no longer
than 80µs, the device remains in overdrive mode.
After the bus master has released the line, it goes into
receive mode (Rx). Now the 1-Wire bus is pulled to
V PUP through the pullup resistor or, in case of a
DS2480B driver, through active circuitry. When the
threshold VTH is crossed, the DS1921G waits for tPDH
and then transmits a presence pulse by pulling the line
low for tPDL. To detect a presence pulse, the master
must test the logical state of the 1-Wire line at tMSP.
The tRSTH window must be at least the sum of tPDHMAX,
t PDLMAX , and t RECMIN . Immediately after t RSTH is
expired, the DS1921G is ready for data communication.
In a mixed population network, tRSTH should be extended to minimum 480µs at standard speed and 48µs at
overdrive speed to accommodate other 1-Wire devices.
Read/Write Time Slots
Data communication with the DS1921G takes place in
time slots that carry a single bit each. Write time slots
transport data from bus master to slave. Read time slots
transfer data from slave to master. The definitions of the
write and read time slots are illustrated in Figure 15.
All communication begins with the master pulling the
data line low. As the voltage on the 1-Wire line falls
below the threshold VTL, the DS1921G starts its internal
timing generator that determines when the data line is
sampled during a write time slot and how long data is
valid during a read time slot.
Master-to-Slave
For a write-one time slot, the voltage on the data line
must have crossed the VTH threshold after the write-one
low time tW1LMAX is expired. For a write-zero time slot,
the voltage on the data line must stay below the VTH
threshold until the write-zero low time tW0LMIN is expired.
The voltage on the data line should not exceed VILMAX
during the entire tW0L or tW1L window. After the VTH
threshold has been crossed, the DS1921G needs a
recovery time tREC before it is ready for the next time slot.
Slave-to-Master
A read-data time slot begins like a write-one time slot.
The voltage on the data line must remain below VTL
until the read low time tRL is expired. During the tRL
window, when responding with a 0, the DS1921G starts
pulling the data line low; its internal timing generator
determines when this pulldown ends and the voltage
starts rising again. When responding with a 1, the
DS1921G does not hold the data line low at all, and the
voltage starts rising as soon as tRL is over.
32
The sum of tRL + δ (rise time) on one side and the internal timing generator of the DS1921G on the other side
define the master sampling window (t MSRMIN to
tMSRMAX) in which the master must perform a read from
the data line. For most reliable communication, t RL
should be as short as permissible and the master
should read close to but no later than tMSRMAX. After
reading from the data line, the master must wait until
tSLOT is expired. This guarantees sufficient recovery
time tREC for the DS1921G to get ready for the next
time slot.
CRC Generation
There are two different types of CRCs with the
DS1921G. One CRC is an 8-bit type and is stored in the
most significant byte of the 64-bit ROM. The bus master
can compute a CRC value from the first 56 bits of the
64-bit ROM and compare it to the value stored within
the DS1921G to determine if the ROM data has been
received error-free. The equivalent polynomial function
of this CRC is X 8 + X 5 + X 4 + 1. This 8-bit CRC is
received in the true (noninverted) form. It is computed
at the factory and lasered into the ROM.
The other CRC is a 16-bit type, generated according to
the standardized CRC-16 polynomial function X16 +
X15 + X2 + 1. This CRC is used for error detection when
reading data memory using the Read Memory with
CRC command and for fast verification of a data transfer when writing to or reading from the scratchpad. In
contrast to the 8-bit CRC, the 16-bit CRC is always
communicated in the inverted form. A CRC-generator
inside the DS1921G chip (Figure 16) calculates a new
16-bit CRC as shown in the command flowchart of
Figure 10. The bus master compares the CRC value
read from the device to the one it calculates from the
data and decides whether to continue with an operation
or to reread the portion of the data with the CRC error.
With the initial pass through the Read Memory with
CRC flowchart, the 16-bit CRC value is the result of
shifting the command byte into the cleared CRC generator, followed by the 2 address bytes and the data
bytes. Subsequent passes through the Read Memory
with CRC flowchart generate a 16-bit CRC that is the
result of clearing the CRC generator and then shifting in
the data bytes.
With the Write Scratchpad command, the CRC is generated by first clearing the CRC generator and then shifting in the command code, the target addresses TA1
and TA2, and all the data bytes. The DS1921G transmits
this CRC only if the data bytes written to the scratchpad
include scratchpad ending offset 11111b. The data can
start at any location within the scratchpad.

With the Read Scratchpad command, the CRC is generated by first clearing the CRC generator and then
shifting in the command code, the target addresses
TA1 and TA2, the E/S byte, and the scratchpad data
starting at the target address. The DS1921G transmits
this CRC only if the reading continues through the end
of the scratchpad, regardless of the actual ending offset. For more information on generating CRC values
