DESCRIPTION
The DS18B20X Digital Thermometer provides 9 to 12–bit centigrade temperature measurements and has
an alarm function with nonvolatile user-programmable upper and lower trigger points. The DS18B20X
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 ±2.0°C over the range of 0°C to +70°C. In addition, the DS18B20X can derive power
directly from the data line (“parasite power”), eliminating the need for an external power supply.
Each DS18B20X has a unique 64-bit serial code, which allows multiple DS18B20Xs to function on the
same 1–wire bus; thus, it is simple to use one microprocessor to control many DS18B20Xs 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 DS18B20X, and pin descriptions are given in Table 1. 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 (TH and TL), 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 TH, TL and configuration registers are nonvolatile (EEPROM), so
they will retain data when the device is powered down.
The DS18B20X uses Dallas’ 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 DS18B20X). 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
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 of this datasheet.
Another feature of the DS18B20X 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 (CPP), 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 DS18B20X may also be powered by an external supply on VDD.

DS18B20X
OPERATION – MEASURING TEMPERATURE
The core functionality of the DS18B20X 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
DS18B20X 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 DS18B20X
returns to its idle state. If the DS18B20X 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 DS18B20X
will respond by transmitting 0 while the temperature conversion is in progress and 1 when the conversion
is done. If the DS18B20X 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 DS18B20X section of
this datasheet.
The DS18B20X output temperature data is calibrated in degrees centigrade; 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
DS18B20X 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 2 gives examples of digital output data and the
corresponding temperature reading for 12-bit resolution conversions.

DS18B20X
OPERATION – ALARM SIGNALING
After the DS18B20X performs a temperature conversion, the temperature value is compared to the userdefined two’s complement alarm trigger values stored in the 1-byte TH and TL registers (see Figure 3).
The sign bit (S) indicates if the value is positive or negative: for positive numbers S = 0 and for negative
numbers S = 1. The TH and TL registers are nonvolatile (EEPROM) so they will retain data when the
device is powered down. TH and TL can be accessed through bytes 2 and 3 of the scratchpad as explained
in the MEMORY section of this datasheet.

Only bits 11 through 4 of the temperature register are used in the TH and TL comparison since TH and TL
are 8-bit registers. If the result of a temperature measurement is higher than TH or lower than TL, an
alarm condition exists and an alarm flag is set inside the DS18B20X. This flag is updated after every
temperature measurement; therefore, if the alarm condition goes away, the flag will be turned off after the
next temperature conversion.
The master device can check the alarm flag status of all DS18B20Xs on the bus by issuing an Alarm
Search [ECh] command. Any DS18B20Xs with a set alarm flag will respond to the command, so the
master can determine exactly which DS18B20Xs have experienced an alarm condition. If an alarm
condition exists and the TH or TL settings have changed, another temperature conversion should be done
to validate the alarm condition.
POWERING THE DS18B20X
The DS18B20X can be powered by an external supply on the VDD pin, or it can operate in “parasite
power” mode, which allows the DS18B20X to function without a local external supply. Parasite power
is very useful for applications that require remote temperature sensing or that are very space constrained.
Figure 1 shows the DS18B20X’s parasite-power control circuitry, which “steals” power from the 1-wire
bus via the DQ pin when the bus is high. The stolen charge powers the DS18B20X while the bus is high,
and some of the charge is stored on the parasite power capacitor (CPP) to provide power when the bus is
low. When the DS18B20X is used in parasite power mode, the VDD pin must be connected to ground.
In parasite power mode, the 1-wire bus and CPP can provide sufficient current to the DS18B20X for most
operations as long as the specified timing and voltage requirements are met (refer to the DC
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS and the AC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS sections of this
data sheet). However, when the DS18B20X is performing temperature conversions or copying data from
the scratchpad memory to EEPROM, the operating current can be as high as 1.5 mA. This current can
cause an unacceptable voltage drop across the weak 1-wire pullup resistor and is more current than can be
supplied by CPP. To assure that the DS18B20X has sufficient supply current, it is necessary to provide a
strong pullup on the 1-wire bus whenever temperature conversions are taking place or data is being
copied from the scratchpad to EEPROM. This can be accomplished by using a MOSFET to pull the bus
directly to the rail as shown in Figure 4. The 1-wire bus must be switched to the strong pullup within 10
µs (max) after a Convert T [44h] or Copy Scratchpad [48h] command is issued, and the bus must be held
high by the pullup for the duration of the conversion (tconv) or data transfer (twr = 10 ms). No other
activity can take place on the 1-wire bus while the pullup is enabled.
The DS18B20X can also be powered by the conventional method of connecting an external power supply
to the VDD pin, as shown in Figure 5. The advantage of this method is that the MOSFET pullup is not
required, and the 1–wire bus is free to carry other traffic during the temperature conversion time.

DS18B20X
The use of parasite power is not recommended for temperatures above 100°C since the DS18B20X may
not be able to sustain communications due to the higher leakage currents that can exist at these
temperatures. For applications in which such temperatures are likely, it is strongly recommended that the
DS18B20X be powered by an external power supply.
In some situations the bus master may not know whether the DS18B20Xs on the bus are parasite powered
or powered by external supplies. The master needs this information to determine if the strong bus pullup
should be used during temperature conversions. To get this information, the master can issue a Skip
ROM [CCh] command followed by a Read Power Supply [B4h] command followed by a “read time
slot”. During the read time slot, parasite powered DS18B20Xs will pull the bus low, and externally
powered DS18B20Xs will let the bus remain high. If the bus is pulled low, the master knows that it must
supply the strong pullup on the 1-wire bus during temperature conversions.

64-BIT LASERED ROM CODE
Each DS18B20X contains a unique 64–bit code (see Figure 6) stored in ROM. The least significant 8 bits
of the ROM code contain the DS18B20X’s 1–wire family code: 28h. The next 48 bits contain a unique
serial number. The most significant 8 bits contain a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) byte that is
calculated from the first 56 bits of the ROM code. A detailed explanation of the CRC bits is provided in
the CRC GENERATION section. The 64–bit ROM code and associated ROM function control logic
allow the DS18B20X to operate as a 1–wire device using the protocol detailed in the 1-WIRE BUS
SYSTEM section of this datasheet.

MEMORY
The DS18B20X’s memory is organized as shown in Figure 7. The memory consists of an SRAM
scratchpad with nonvolatile EEPROM storage for the high and low alarm trigger registers (TH and TL)
and configuration register. Note that if the DS18B20X alarm function is not used, the TH and TL registers
can serve as general-purpose memory. All memory commands are described in detail in the DS18B20X
FUNCTION COMMANDS section.
Byte 0 and byte 1 of the scratchpad contain the LSB and the MSB of the temperature register,
respectively. These bytes are read-only. Bytes 2 and 3 provide access to TH and TL registers. Byte 4
contains the configuration register data, which is explained in detail in the CONFIGURATION
REGISTER section of this datasheet. Bytes 5, 6 and 7 are reserved for internal use by the device and
cannot be overwritten; these bytes will return all 1s when read.
Byte 8 of the scratchpad is read-only and contains the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code for bytes 0
through 7 of the scratchpad. The DS18B20X generates this CRC using the method described in the CRC
GENERATION section.
Data is written to bytes 2, 3, and 4 of the scratchpad using the Write Scratchpad [4Eh] command; the data
must be transmitted to the DS18B20X starting with the least significant bit of byte 2. To verify data
integrity, the scratchpad can be read (using the Read Scratchpad [BEh] command) after the data is
written. When reading the scratchpad, data is transferred over the 1-wire bus starting with the least
significant bit of byte 0. To transfer the TH, TL and configuration data from the scratchpad to EEPROM,
the master must issue the Copy Scratchpad [48h] command.
Data in the EEPROM registers is retained when the device is powered down; at power-up the EEPROM
data is reloaded into the corresponding scratchpad locations. Data can also be reloaded from EEPROM
2
to the scratchpad at any time using the Recall E [B8h] command. The master can issue read time slots
following the Recall E2 command and the DS18B20X will indicate the status of the recall by transmitting
0 while the recall is in progress and 1 when the recall is done.

Byte 4 of the scratchpad memory contains the configuration register, which is organized as illustrated in

register as shown in Table 3. The power-up default of these bits is R0 = 1 and R1 = 1 (12-bit resolution).
Note that there is a direct tradeoff between resolution and conversion time. Bit 7 and bits 0-4 in the
configuration register are reserved for internal use by the device and cannot be overwritten; these bits will
return 1s when read.

CRC GENERATION
CRC bytes are provided as part of the DS18B20X’s 64-bit ROM code and in the 9th byte of the
scratchpad memory. The ROM code CRC is calculated from the first 56 bits of the ROM code and is
contained in the most significant byte of the ROM. The scratchpad CRC is calculated from the data
stored in the scratchpad, and therefore it changes when the data in the scratchpad changes. The CRCs
provide the bus master with a method of data validation when data is read from the DS18B20X. To
verify that data has been read correctly, the bus master must re-calculate the CRC from the received data
and then compare this value to either the ROM code CRC (for ROM reads) or to the scratchpad CRC (for
scratchpad reads). If the calculated CRC matches the read CRC, the data has been received error free. The
comparison of CRC values and the decision to continue with an operation are determined entirely by the
bus master. There is no circuitry inside the DS18B20X that prevents a command sequence from
proceeding if the DS18B20X CRC (ROM or scratchpad) does not match the value generated by the bus
master.
The equivalent polynomial function of the CRC (ROM or scratchpad) is:
CRC = X8 + X5 + X4 + 1
The bus master can re-calculate the CRC and compare it to the CRC values from the DS18B20X using
the polynomial generator shown in Figure 9. This circuit consists of a shift register and XOR gates, and
the shift register bits are initialized to 0. Starting with the least significant bit of the ROM code or the
least significant bit of byte 0 in the scratchpad, one bit at a time should shifted into the shift register.
After shifting in the 56th bit from the ROM or the most significant bit of byte 7 from the scratchpad, the
polynomial generator will contain the re-calculated CRC. Next, the 8-bit ROM code or scratchpad CRC
from the DS18B20X must be shifted into the circuit. At this point, if the re-calculated CRC was correct,
7 of 21
DS18B20X
the shift register will contain all 0s. Additional information about the Dallas 1-wire cyclic redundancy
check is available in Application Note 27 entitled “Understanding and Using Cyclic Redundancy Checks
with Dallas Semiconductor Touch Memory Products.”

1-WIRE BUS SYSTEM
The 1-wire bus system uses a single bus master to control one or more slave devices. The DS18B20X is
always a slave. When there is only one slave on the bus, the system is referred to as a “single-drop”
system; the system is “multi-drop” if there are multiple slaves on the bus.
All data and commands are transmitted least significant bit first over the 1-wire bus.
The following discussion of the 1-wire bus system is broken down into three topics: hardware
configuration, transaction sequence, and 1-wire signaling (signal types and timing).
HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
The 1-wire bus has by definition only a single data line. Each device (master or slave) interfaces to the
data line via an open drain or 3–state port. This allows each device to “release” the data line when the
device is not transmitting data so the bus is available for use by another device. The 1-wire port of the
DS18B20X (the DQ pin) is open drain with an internal circuit equivalent to that shown in Figure 10.
The 1-wire bus requires an external pullup resistor of approximately 5 kΩ; thus, the idle state for the 1wire 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. Infinite recovery time can occur between bits so long as the 1-wire
bus is in the inactive (high) state during the recovery period. If the bus is held low for more than 480 µs,
all components on the bus will be reset.

DS18B20X
TRANSACTION SEQUENCE
The transaction sequence for accessing the DS18B20X is as follows:
Step 1. Initialization
Step 2. ROM Command (followed by any required data exchange)
Step 3. DS18B20X Function Command (followed by any required data exchange)
It is very important to follow this sequence every time the DS18B20X is accessed, as the DS18B20X will
not respond if any steps in the sequence are missing or out of order. Exceptions to this rule are the Search
ROM [F0h] and Alarm Search [ECh] commands. After issuing either of these ROM commands, the
master must return to Step 1 in the sequence.
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 slave devices (such as the DS18B20X) are on
the bus and are ready to operate. Timing for the reset and presence pulses is detailed in the
1-WIRE SIGNALING section.
ROM COMMANDS
After the bus master has detected a presence pulse, it can issue a ROM command. These commands
operate on the unique 64–bit ROM codes of each slave device and allow the master to single out a
specific device if many are present on the 1-wire bus. These commands also allow the master to
determine how many and what types of devices are present on the bus or if any device has experienced an
alarm condition. There are five ROM commands, and each command is 8 bits long. The master device
must issue an appropriate ROM command before issuing a DS18B20X function command. A flowchart
for operation of the ROM commands is shown in Figure 11.
SEARCH ROM [F0h]
When a system is initially powered up, the master must identify the ROM codes of all slave devices on
the bus, which allows the master to determine the number of slaves and their device types. The master
learns the ROM codes through a process of elimination that requires the master to perform a Search ROM
cycle (i.e., Search ROM command followed by data exchange) as many times as necessary to identify all
of the slave devices. If there is only one slave on the bus, the simpler Read ROM command (see below)
can be used in place of the Search ROM process. For a detailed explanation of the Search ROM
procedure, refer to the iButton Book of Standards at www.ibutton.com/ibuttons/standard.pdf. After every
Search ROM cycle, the bus master must return to Step 1 (Initialization) in the transaction sequence.
READ ROM [33h]
This command can only be used when there is one slave on the bus. It allows the bus master to read the
slave’s 64-bit ROM code without using the Search ROM procedure. If this command is used when there
is more than one slave present on the bus, a data collision will occur when all the slaves attempt to
respond at the same time.
MATCH ROM [55h]
The match ROM command followed by a 64–bit ROM code sequence allows the bus master to address a
specific slave device on a multi-drop or single-drop bus. Only the slave that exactly matches the 64–bit
ROM code sequence will respond to the function command issued by the master; all other slaves on the
bus will wait for a reset pulse.
9 of 21
DS18B20X
SKIP ROM [CCh]
The master can use this command to address all devices on the bus simultaneously without sending out
any ROM code information. For example, the master can make all DS18B20Xs on the bus perform
simultaneous temperature conversions by issuing a Skip ROM command followed by a Convert T [44h]
command. Note, however, that the Skip ROM command can only be followed by the Read Scratchpad
[BEh] command when there is one slave on the bus. This sequence saves time by allowing the master to
read from the device without sending its 64–bit ROM code. This sequence will cause a data collision on
the bus if there is more than one slave since multiple devices will attempt to transmit data simultaneously.
ALARM SEARCH [ECh]
The operation of this command is identical to the operation of the Search ROM command except that
only slaves with a set alarm flag will respond. This command allows the master device to determine if
any DS18B20Xs experienced an alarm condition during the most recent temperature conversion. After
every Alarm Search cycle (i.e., Alarm Search command followed by data exchange), the bus master must
return to Step 1 (Initialization) in the transaction sequence. Refer to the OPERATION – ALARM
SIGNALING section for an explanation of alarm flag operation.
DS18B20X FUNCTION COMMANDS
After the bus master has used a ROM command to address the DS18B20X with which it wishes to
communicate, the master can issue one of the DS18B20X function commands. These commands allow
the master to write to and read from the DS18B20X’s scratchpad memory, initiate temperature
conversions and determine the power supply mode. The DS18B20X function commands, which are
described below, are summarized in Table 4 and illustrated by the flowchart in Figure 12.
CONVERT T [44h]
This command initiates a single temperature conversion. Following the conversion, the resulting thermal
data is stored in the 2-byte temperature register in the scratchpad memory and the DS18B20X returns to
its low-power idle state. If the device is being used in parasite power mode, within 10 µs (max) after this
command is issued the master must enable a strong pullup on the 1-wire bus for the duration of the
conversion (tconv) as described in the POWERING THE DS18B20X section. If the DS18B20X is
powered by an external supply, the master can issue read time slots after the Convert T command and the
DS18B20X will respond by transmitting 0 while the temperature conversion is in progress and 1 when
the conversion is done. In parasite power mode this notification technique cannot be used since the bus is
pulled high by the strong pullup during the conversion.
WRITE SCRATCHPAD [4Eh]
This command allows the master to write 3 bytes of data to the DS18B20X’s scratchpad. The first data
byte is written into the TH register (byte 2 of the scratchpad), the second byte is written into the TL
register (byte 3), and the third byte is written into the configuration register (byte 4). Data must be
transmitted least significant bit first. All three bytes MUST be written before the master issues a reset, or
the data may be corrupted.
READ SCRATCHPAD [BEh]
This command allows the master to read the contents of the scratchpad. The data transfer starts with the
least significant bit of byte 0 and continues through the scratchpad until the 9th byte (byte 8 – CRC) is
read. The master may issue a reset to terminate reading at any time if only part of the scratchpad data is
needed.
COPY SCRATCHPAD [48h]
This command copies the contents of the scratchpad TH, TL and configuration registers (bytes 2, 3 and 4)
to EEPROM. If the device is being used in parasite power mode, within 10 µs (max) after this command
10 of 21
DS18B20X
is issued the master must enable a strong pullup on the 1-wire bus for at least 10 ms as described in the
POWERING THE DS18B20X section.
RECALL E2 [B8h]
This command recalls the alarm trigger values (TH and TL) and configuration data from EEPROM and
places the data in bytes 2, 3, and 4, respectively, in the scratchpad memory. The master device can issue
read time slots following the Recall E2 command and the DS18B20X will indicate the status of the recall
by transmitting 0 while the recall is in progress and 1 when the recall is done. The recall operation
happens automatically at power-up, so valid data is available in the scratchpad as soon as power is
applied to the device.
READ POWER SUPPLY [B4h]
The master device issues this command followed by a read time slot to determine if any DS18B20Xs on
the bus are using parasite power. During the read time slot, parasite powered DS18B20Xs will pull the
bus low, and externally powered DS18B20Xs will let the bus remain high. Refer to the POWERING
THE DS18B20X section for usage information for this command.

DS18B20X
1-WIRE SIGNALING
The DS18B20X uses a strict 1-wire communication protocol to insure data integrity. Several signal types
are defined by this protocol: reset pulse, presence pulse, write 0, write 1, read 0, and read 1. All of these
signals, with the exception of the presence pulse, are initiated by the bus master.
INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE: RESET AND PRESENCE PULSES
All communication with the DS18B20X begins with an initialization sequence that consists of a reset
pulse from the master followed by a presence pulse from the DS18B20X. This is illustrated in Figure 13.
When the DS18B20X sends the presence pulse in response to the reset, it is indicating to the master that it
is on the bus and ready to operate.
During the initialization sequence the bus master transmits (TX) the reset pulse by pulling the 1-wire bus
low for a minimum of 480 µs. The bus master then releases the bus and goes into receive mode (RX).
When the bus is released, the 5k pullup resistor pulls the 1-wire bus high. When the DS18B20X detects
this rising edge, it waits 15–60 µs and then transmits a presence pulse by pulling the 1-wire bus low for
60–240 µs.

READ/WRITE TIME SLOTS
The bus master writes data to the DS18B20X during write time slots and reads data from the DS18B20X
during read time slots. One bit of data is transmitted over the 1-wire bus per time slot.
WRITE TIME SLOTS
There are two types of write time slots: “Write 1” time slots and “Write 0” time slots. The bus master
uses a Write 1 time slot to write a logic 1 to the DS18B20X and a Write 0 time slot to write a logic 0 to
the DS18B20X. All write time slots must be a minimum of 60 µs in duration with a minimum of a 1 µs
recovery time between individual write slots. Both types of write time slots are initiated by the master
pulling the 1-wire bus low (see Figure 14).
To generate a Write 1 time slot, after pulling the 1-wire bus low, the bus master must release the 1-wire
bus within 15 µs. When the bus is released, the 5k pullup resistor will pull the bus high. To generate a
Write 0 time slot, after pulling the 1-wire bus low, the bus master must continue to hold the bus low for
the duration of the time slot (at least 60 µs).
14 of 21
DS18B20X
The DS18B20X samples the 1-wire bus during a window that lasts from 15 µs to 60 µs after the master
initiates the write time slot. If the bus is high during the sampling window, a 1 is written to the
DS18B20X. If the line is low, a 0 is written to the DS18B20X.

READ TIME SLOTS
The DS18B20X can only transmit data to the master when the master issues read time slots. Therefore,
the master must generate read time slots immediately after issuing a Read Scratchpad [BEh] or Read
Power Supply [B4h] command, so that the DS18B20X can provide the requested data. In addition, the
master can generate read time slots after issuing Convert T [44h] or Recall E2 [B8h] commands to find
out the status of the operation as explained in the DS18B20X FUNCTION COMMAND section.
All read time slots must be a minimum of 60 µs in duration with a minimum of a 1 µs recovery time
between slots. A read time slot is initiated by the master device pulling the 1-wire bus low for a
minimum of 1 µs and then releasing the bus (see Figure 14). After the master initiates the read time slot,
the DS18B20X will begin transmitting a 1 or 0 on bus. The DS18B20X transmits a 1 by leaving the bus
high and transmits a 0 by pulling the bus low. When transmitting a 0, the DS18B20X will release the bus
by the end of the time slot, and the bus will be pulled back to its high idle state by the pullup resister.
Output data from the DS18B20X is valid for 15 µs after the falling edge that initiated the read time slot.
15 of 21
DS18B20X
Therefore, the master must release the bus and then sample the bus state within 15 µs from the start of the
slot.
Figure 15 illustrates that the sum of TINIT, TRC, and TSAMPLE must be less than 15 µs for a read time slot.
Figure 16 shows that system timing margin is maximized by keeping TINIT and TRC as short as possible
and by locating the master sample time during read time slots towards the end of the 15 µs period.

NOTES:
1.
2.
All voltages are referenced to ground.
The Pullup Supply Voltage specification assumes that the pullup device is ideal, and therefore the
high level of the pullup is equal to VPU. In order to meet the VIH spec of the DS18B20X, the actual
supply rail for the strong pullup transistor must include margin for the voltage drop across the
transistor when it is turned on; thus: VPU_ACTUAL = VPU_IDEAL + VTRANSISTOR.
3. See typical performance curve in Figure 17
4. Logic low voltages are specified at a sink current of 4 mA.
5. To guarantee a presence pulse under low voltage parasite power conditions, VILMAX may have to be
reduced to as low as 0.5V.
6. Logic high voltages are specified at a source current of 1 mA.
7. Standby current specified up to 70°C. Standby current typically is 3 µA at 125°C.
8. To minimize IDDS, DQ should be within the following ranges: GND ≤ DQ ≤ GND + 0.3V or VDD –
0.3V ≤ DQ ≤ VDD.
9. Active current refers to supply current during active temperature conversions or EEPROM writes.
10. DQ line is high (“hi-Z” state).
11. Drift data is based on a 1000 hour stress test at 125°C with VDD = 5.5V.
