Week 8

Research about Digital Thermometer and Thermostat (DS1621)


The DS1621 Digital Thermometer and Thermostat provides 9-bit temperature readings, which indicate the temperature of the device. The thermal alarm output, TOUT, is active when the temperature of the device exceeds a user-defined temperature TH:- The output remains active until the temperature drops below user defined temperature TL, allowing for any hysteresis necessary.

User-defined temperature settings are stored in nonvolatile memory so parts may be programmed prior to insertion in a system. Temperature settings and temperature readings are all communicated to/from the DS1621 over a simple 2-wire serial interface.

Operation

Measuring Temperature

The DS1621 measures temperature using a band gap-based temperature sensor. A delta-sigma analog-to digital converter (ADC) converts the measured temperature to a digital value that is calibrated in °C; for °F applications, a lookup table or conversion routine must be used.

The temperature reading is provided in a 9-bit, two’s complement reading by issuing the READ TEMPERATURE command. Table 2 describes the exact relationship of output data to measured temperature. The data is transmitted through the 2-wire serial interface, MSB first. The DS1621 can measure temperature over the range of -55_C to +125_C in 0.5_C increments.
