DESCRIPTION
The DS1631, DS1631A, and DS1731 digital thermometers provide 9, 10, 11, or 12-bit temperature
readings over a -55°C to +125°C range. The DS1631 and DS1631A thermometer accuracy is ±0.5°C
from 0°C to +70°C with 3.0V £ VDD £ 5.5V, and the DS1731 accuracy is ±1°C from -10°C to +85°C with
3.0V £ VDD £ 5.5V. The thermostat on all three devices provides custom hysteresis with user-defined trip
points (TH and TL). The TH and TL registers and thermometer configuration settings are stored in NV
EEPROM so they can be programmed prior to installation. In addition, the DS1631A automatically
begins taking temperature measurements at power-up, which allows it to function as a stand-alone
thermostat. Communication with the DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731 is achieved through a 2-wire serial
interface, and three address pins allow up to eight devices to be multidropped on the same 2-wire bus.
Pin descriptions for the DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731 are provided in Table 2 and user-accessible registers
are summarized in Table 3. A functional diagram is shown in Figure 1.

OPERATION—MEASURING TEMPERATURE
The DS1631, DS1631A, and DS1731 measure temperature using bandgap-based temperature sensors. A
delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converts the measured temperature to a 9-, 10-, 11-, or 12bit (user-selectable) digital value that is calibrated in °C; for °F applications a lookup table or conversion
routine must be used. Throughout this data sheet, the term “conversion” is used to refer to the entire
temperature measurement and ADC sequence.
The DS1631 and DS1731 always power-up in a low-power idle state, and the Start Convert T command
must be used to initiate conversions. The DS1631A always begins conversions automatically at powerup.
The DS1631, DS1631A, and DS1731 can be programmed to perform continuous consecutive conversions
(continuous-conversion mode) or to perform single conversions on command (one-shot mode). The
conversion mode is programmed through the 1SHOT bit in the configuration register as explained in the
CONFIGURATION REGISTER section of this data sheet. In continuous-conversion mode, the DS1631A
begins performing continuous conversions immediately at power-up, and the DS1631 and DS1731 begin
continuous conversions after a Start Convert T command is issued. For all three devices, consecutive
conversions continue to be performed until a Stop Convert T command is issued, at which time the device
goes into a low-power idle state. Continuous conversions can be restarted at any time using the Start
Convert T command.
In one-shot mode the DS1631A performs a single conversion at power-up, and the DS1631 and DS1731
perform a single temperature conversion when a Start Convert T command is issued. For all three
devices, when the conversion is complete the device enters a low-power idle state and remains in that
state until a single temperature conversion is again initiated by a Start Convert T command.
The resolution of the output digital temperature data is user-configurable to 9, 10, 11, or 12 bits,
corresponding to temperature increments of 0.5°C, 0.25°C, 0.125°C, and 0.0625°C, respectively. The
default resolution at power-up is 12 bits, and it can be changed through the R0 and R1 bits in the
configuration register. Note that the conversion time doubles for each additional bit of resolution.
After each conversion, the digital temperature is stored as a 16-bit two’s complement number in the twobyte temperature register as shown in Figure 4. The sign bit (S) indicates if the temperature is positive or
negative: for positive numbers S = 0 and for negative numbers S = 1. The Read Temperature command
6 of 14
DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731
provides user access to the temperature register. Bits 3 through 0 of the temperature register are
hardwired to 0. When the device is configured for 12-bit resolution, the 12 MSbs (bits 15 through 4) of
the temperature register contain temperature data. For 11-bit resolution, the 11 MSbs (bits 15 through 5)
of the temperature register contain data, and bit 4 is 0. Likewise, for 10-bit resolution, the 10 MSbs (bits
15 through 6) contain data, and for 9-bit the 9 MSbs (bits 15 through 7) contain data, and all unused LSbs
contain 0s. Table 4 gives examples of 12-bit resolution output data and the corresponding temperatures.

OPERATION—THERMOSTAT FUNCTION
The thermostat output (TOUT) is updated after every temperature conversion, based on a comparison
between the measured digital temperature and user-defined upper and lower thermostat trip points. TOUT
remains at the updated value until the next conversion completes. When the measured temperature meets
or exceeds the value stored in the upper trip-point register (TH), TOUT becomes active and remains active
until the measured temperature falls below the value stored in the lower trip-point register (TL) (see
Figure 5). This allows the user to program any amount of hysteresis into the output response. The active
state of TOUT is user-programmable through the polarity bit (POL) in the configuration register.
The user-defined values in the TH and TL registers (see Figure 4) must be in two’s complement format
with the MSb (bit 15) containing the sign bit (S). The TH and TL resolution is determined by the R0 and
R1 bits in the configuration register (see Table 6), so the TH and TL resolution matches the output
temperature resolution. For example, for 10-bit resolution bits 5 through 0 of the TH and TL registers read
out as 0 (even if 1s are written to these bits), and the converted temperature is compared to the 10 MSbs
of TH and TL.
The TH and TL registers are stored in EEPROM; therefore, they are NV and can be programmed prior to
device installation. Writing to and reading from the TH and TL registers is achieved using the Access TH
7 of 14
DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731
and Access TL commands. When making changes to the TH and TL registers, conversions should first be
stopped using the Stop Convert T command if the device is in continuous conversion mode. Note that if
the thermostat function is not used, the TH and TL registers can be used as general-purpose NV memory.
Another thermostat feature is the temperature high and low flags (THF and TLF) in the configuration
register. These bits provide a record of whether the temperature has been greater than TH or less than TL
at anytime since the device was powered up. These bits power up as 0s, and if the temperature ever
exceeds the TH register value, the THF bit is set to 1, or if the temperature ever falls below the TL value,
the TLF bit is set to 1. Once THF and/or TLF has been set, it remains set until overwritten with a 0 by the
user or until the power is cycled.
DS1631A STAND-ALONE THERMOSTAT OPERATION
Since the DS1631A automatically begins taking temperature measurements at power-up, it can function
as a standalone thermostat (i.e., it can provide thermostatic operation without microcontroller
communication). For standalone operation, the NV TH and TL registers and the POL and 1SHOT bits in
the configuration register should be programmed to the desired values prior to installation. Since the
default conversion resolution at power-up is 12 bits (R1 = 1 and R0 = 1 in the configuration register), the
conversion resolution is always 12 bits during standalone thermostat operation.

CONFIGURATION REGISTER
The configuration register allows the user to program various DS1631 options such as conversion
resolution, TOUT polarity, and operating mode. It also provides information to the user about conversion
status, EEPROM activity, and thermostat activity. The configuration register is arranged as shown in
Figure 6 and detailed descriptions of each bit are provided in Table 5. This register can be read from and
written to using the Access Config command. When writing to the configuration register, conversions
should first be stopped using the Stop Convert T command if the device is in continuous conversion
mode. Note that the POL and 1SHOT bits are stored in EEPROM so they can be programmed prior to
installation is desired. All other configuration register bits are SRAM and power up in the state shown in
Table 5.

DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731
2-WIRE SERIAL DATA BUS
The DS1631, DS1631A, and DS1731 communicate over a bidirectional 2-wire serial data bus that
consists of a serial clock (SCL) signal and serial data (SDA) signal. The DS1631, DS1631A, and DS1731
interface to the bus through their SCL input pins and open-drain SDA I/O pins.
The following terminology is used to describe 2-wire communication:
Master Device: Microprocessor/microcontroller that controls the slave devices on the bus. The master
device generates the SCL signal and START and STOP conditions.
Slave: All devices on the bus other than the master. The DS1631, DS1631A, and DS1731 always
function as slaves.
Bus Idle or Not Busy: Both SDA and SCL remain high. SDA is held high by a pullup resistor when the
bus is idle, and SCL must either be forced high by the master (if the SCL output is push-pull) or pulled
high by a pullup resistor (if the SCL output is open-drain).
Transmitter: A device (master or slave) that is sending data on the bus.
Receiver: A device (master or slave) that is receiving data from the bus.
START Condition: Signal generated by the master to indicate the beginning of a data transfer on the
bus. The master generates a START condition by pulling SDA from high to low while SCL is high (see
Figure 8). A “repeated” START is sometimes used at the end of a data transfer (instead of a STOP) to
indicate that the master will perform another operation.
STOP Condition: Signal generated by the master to indicate the end of a data transfer on the bus. The
master generates a STOP condition by transitioning SDA from low to high while SCL is high (see Figure
8). After the STOP is issued, the master releases the bus to its idle state.
Acknowledge (ACK): When a device is acting as a receiver, it must generate an acknowledge (ACK) on
the SDA line after receiving every byte of data. The receiving device performs an ACK by pulling the
SDA line low for an entire SCL period (see Figure 8). During the ACK clock cycle, the transmitting
device must release SDA. A variation on the ACK signal is the “not acknowledge” (NACK). When the
master device is acting as a receiver, it uses a NACK instead of an ACK after the last data byte to indicate
that it is finished receiving data. The master indicates a NACK by leaving the SDA line high during the
ACK clock cycle.
Slave Address: Every slave device on the bus has a unique 7-bit address that allows the master to access
that device. The 7-bit bus address is 1 0 0 1 A2 A1 A0, where A2, A1, and A0 are user-selectable through
the corresponding input pins. The three address pins allow up to eight DS1631s, DS1631As, or DS1731s
to be multidropped on the same bus.
Control Byte: The control byte is transmitted by the master and consists of the 7-bit slave address plus a
read/write (R/･W･) bit (see Figure 7). If the master is going to read data from the slave device then R/･W･ =
1, and if the master is going to write data to the slave device then R/･W･ = 0.

GENERAL 2-WIRE INFORMATION
§ All data is transmitted MSb first over the 2-wire bus.
§ One bit of data is transmitted on the 2-wire bus each SCL period.
§ A pullup resistor is required on the SDA line and, when the bus is idle, both SDA and SCL must remain
in a logic-high state.
§ All bus communication must be initiated with a START condition and terminated with a STOP
condition. During a START or STOP is the only time SDA is allowed to change states while SCL is
high. At all other times, changes on the SDA line can only occur when SCL is low: SDA must remain
stable when SCL is high.
§ After every 8-bit (1-byte) transfer, the receiving device must answer with an ACK (or NACK), which
takes one SCL period. Therefore, nine clocks are required for every one-byte data transfer.
INITIATING 2-WIRE COMMUNICATION
To initiate 2-wire communication, the master generates a START followed by a control byte containing
the DS1631, DS1631A, or DS1731 slave address. The R/･W･ bit of the control byte must be a 0 (“write”)
since the master next writes a command byte. The DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731 responds with an ACK
after receiving the control byte. This must be followed by a command byte from the master, which
indicates what type of operation is to be performed. The DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731 again respond with
an ACK after receiving the command byte.
If the command byte is a Start Convert T or Stop Convert T command (see Figure 9a), the transaction is
finished, and the master must issue a STOP to signal the end of the communication sequence. If the
command byte indicates a write or read operation, additional actions must occur as explained in the
following sections.
2-WIRE WRITES
The master can write data to the DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731 by issuing an Access Config, Access TH, or
Access TL command following the control byte (see Figures 9b and 9d). Since the R/･W･ bit in the control
byte was a 0 (“write”), the DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731 are already prepared to receive data. Therefore,
after receiving an ACK in response to the command byte, the master device can immediately begin
transmitting data. When writing to the configuration register, the master must send one byte of data, and
when writing to the TH or TL registers the master must send two bytes of data. After receiving each data
byte, the DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731 respond with an ACK, and the transaction is finished with a STOP
from the master.

DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731
2-WIRE READS
The master can read data from the DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731 by issuing an Access Config, Access TH,
Access TL, or Read Temperature command following the control byte (see Figures 9c and 9e). After
receiving an ACK in response to the command, the master must generate a repeated START followed by
a control byte with the same slave address as the first control byte. However, this time the R/･W･ bit must
be a 1, which tells the DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731 that a “read” is being performed. After the
DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731 send an ACK in response to this control byte, it begins transmitting the
requested data on the next clock cycle. One byte of data will be transmitted when reading from the
configuration register after which the master must respond with a NACK followed by a STOP. For twobyte reads (i.e., from the Temperature, TH, or TL register), the master must respond to the first data byte
with an ACK and to the second byte with a NACK followed by a STOP. If only the most significant byte
of data is needed, the master can issue a NACK followed by a STOP after reading the first data byte.
COMMAND SET
The DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731 command set is detailed below:
Start Convert T [ 51h ]
Initiates temperature conversions. If the part is in one-shot mode (1SHOT = 1), only one conversion is
performed. In continuous mode (1SHOT = 0), continuous temperature conversions are performed until a
Stop Convert T command is issued.
Stop Convert T [ 22h ]
Stops temperature conversions when the device is in continuous conversion mode (1SHOT = 0).
Read Temperature [ AAh ]
Reads last converted temperature value from the 2-byte temperature register.
Access TH [ A1h ]
Reads or writes the 2-byte TH register.
Access TL [ A2h ]
Reads or writes the 2-byte TL register.
Access Config [ ACh ]
Reads or writes the 1-byte configuration register.
Software POR [ 54h ]
Initiates a software power-on-reset (POR), which stops temperature conversions and resets all registers
and logic to their power-up states. The software POR allows the user to simulate cycling the power
without actually powering down the device.
