DS18B20

General Description

The DS18B20 digital thermometer provides 9-bit to
12-bit Celsius temperature measurements and has an
alarm function with nonvolatile user-programmable upperand lower trigger points. The DS18B20 communicatesover a 1-Wire bus that by definition requires only one
data line (and ground) for communication with a central
microprocessor. In addition, the DS18B20 can derive
power directly from the data line (“parasite power”),
eliminating the need for an external power supply.
Each DS18B20 has a unique 64-bit serial code, whichallows multiple DS18B20s to function on the same 1-Wirebus. Thus, it is simple to use one microprocessor tocontrol many DS18B20s distributed over a large area.
Applications that can benefit from this feature include
HVAC environmental controls, temperature monitoring
systems inside buildings, equipment, or machinery, andprocess monitoring and control systems.

The Pullup Supply Voltage specification assumes that the pullup device is ideal, and therefore the high level of thepullup is equal to VPU. In order to meet the VIH spec of the DS18B20, 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.

1-Wire Digital Thermometer

Overview

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 ofderiving power from the 1-Wire bus is referred to as “parasite power.” As an alternative, the DS18B20 may also be
powered by an external supply on VDD.

Figure 3 shows a block diagram of the DS18B20, andpin descriptions are given in the Pin Description table.
The 64-bit ROM stores the device’s unique serial code.
The scratchpad memory contains the 2-byte temperatureregister 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 andTL) and the 1-byte configuration register. The configuration register allows the user to set the resolution of thetemperature-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 ispowered down.
The DS18B20 uses Maxim’s exclusive 1-Wire bus protocol that implements bus communication using one control
signal. The control line requires a weak pullup resistor
since all devices are linked to the bus via a 3-state or
open-drain port (the DQ pin in the case of the DS18B20).
In this bus system, the microprocessor (the masterdevice) identifies and addresses devices on the bus
using each device’s unique 64-bit code. Because eachdevice has a unique code, the number of devices thatcan be addressed on one bus is virtually unlimited. The
1-Wire bus protocol, including detailed explanations of thecommands and “time slots,” is covered in the 1-Wire Bus
System section.
Another feature of the DS18B20 is the ability to operate without an external power supply. Power is instead
supplied through the 1-Wire pullup resistor through the

Operation—Measuring Temperature

The core functionality of the DS18B20 is its direct-todigital temperature sensor. The resolution of the temperature sensor is user-configurable to 9, 10, 11, or 12 bits,
corresponding to increments of 0.5°C, 0.25°C, 0.125°C,
and 0.0625°C, respectively. The default resolution at
power-up is 12-bit. The DS18B20 powers up in a lowpower 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 registerin the scratchpad memory and the DS18B20 returns to its
idle state. If the DS18B20 is powered by an external supply, the master can issue “read time slots” (see the 1-WireBus System section) after the Convert T command andthe DS18B20 will respond by transmitting 0 while the temperature conversion is in progress and 1 when the conversion is done. If the DS18B20 is powered with parasite
power, this notification technique cannot be used since
the bus must be pulled high by a strong pullup during theentire temperature conversion. The bus requirements forparasite power are explained in detail in the Powering the
DS18B20 section.

1-Wire Digital Thermometer
Operation—Alarm Signaling

The DS18B20 output temperature data is calibrated indegrees Celsius; for Fahrenheit applications, a lookup
table or conversion routine must be used. The temperature data is stored as a 16-bit sign-extended two’s complement number in the temperature register (see Figure 4).
The sign bits (S) indicate if the temperature is positiveor negative: for positive numbers S = 0 and for negative
numbers S = 1. If the DS18B20 is configured for 12-bit
resolution, all bits in the temperature register will containvalid data. For 11-bit resolution, bit 0 is undefined. For
10-bit resolution, bits 1 and 0 are undefined, and for 9-bit
resolution bits 2, 1, and 0 are undefined. Table 1 gives
examples of digital output data and the corresponding
temperature reading for 12-bit resolution conversions.

After the DS18B20 performs a temperature conversion,
the temperature value is compared to the user-defined
two’s complement alarm trigger values stored in the
1-byte TH and TL registers (see Figure 5). 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 willretain 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.
Only bits 11 through 4 of the temperature register areused in the TH and TL comparison since TH and TL are
8-bit registers. If the measured temperature is lower than

Programmable Resolution
1-Wire Digital Thermometeror equal to TL or higher than or equal to TH, an alarm condition exists and an alarm flag is set inside the DS18B20.
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 DS18B20s on the bus by issuing an Alarm Search[ECh] command. Any DS18B20s with a set alarm flag will
respond to the command, so the master can determine
exactly which DS18B20s 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 DS18B20

The DS18B20 can be powered by an external supply on
the VDD pin, or it can operate in “parasite power” mode,
which allows the DS18B20 to function without a local
external supply. Parasite power is very useful for applications that require remote temperature sensing or that arevery space constrained. Figure 3 shows the DS18B20’s
parasite-power control circuitry, which “steals” power fromthe 1-Wire bus via the DQ pin when the bus is high. The
stolen charge powers the DS18B20 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 DS18B20 is used in parasite power mode, theVDD pin must be connected to ground.
In parasite power mode, the 1-Wire bus and CPP can provide sufficient current to the DS18B20 for most operations
as long as the specified timing and voltage requirements
are met (see the DC Electrical Characteristics and AC
Electrical Characteristics). However, when the DS18B20
is performing temperature conversions or copying datafrom the scratchpad memory to EEPROM, the operating
current can be as high as 1.5mA. This current can cause
an unacceptable voltage drop across the weak 1-Wirepullup resistor and is more current than can be supplied

by CPP. To assure that the DS18B20 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 6. The
1-Wire bus must be switched to the strong pullup within
10µs (max) after a Convert T [44h] or Copy Scratchpad[48h] command is issued, and the bus must be held highby the pullup for the duration of the conversion (tCONV)or data transfer (tWR = 10ms). No other activity can takeplace on the 1-Wire bus while the pullup is enabled.
The DS18B20 can also be powered by the conventional
method of connecting an external power supply to the
VDD pin, as shown in Figure 7. The advantage of thismethod is that the MOSFET pullup is not required, andthe 1-Wire bus is free to carry other traffic during the temperature conversion time.
The use of parasite power is not recommended for temperatures above +100°C since the DS18B20 may not beable to sustain communications due to the higher leakage currents that can exist at these temperatures. For
applications in which such temperatures are likely, it isstrongly recommended that the DS18B20 be powered by
an external power supply.
In some situations the bus master may not know whether
the DS18B20s 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 usedduring 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 DS18B20s will pull the bus low, and externally
powered DS18B20s will let the bus remain high. If thebus 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 DS18B20 contains a unique 64–bit code (see Figure8) stored in ROM. The least significant 8 bits of the ROM
code contain the DS18B20’s 1-Wire family code: 28h. The
next 48 bits contain a unique serial number. The mostsignificant 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 andassociated ROM function control logic allow the DS18B20
to operate as a 1-Wire device using the protocol detailed
in the 1-Wire Bus System section.

MemoryThe DS18B20’s memory is organized as shown in Figure
9. 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 DS18B20 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 DS18B20 Function Commands section.
Byte 0 and byte 1 of the scratchpad contain the LSB andthe 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 regis-

8-BIT CRC

ter data, which is explained in detail in the Configuration
Register section. Bytes 5, 6, and 7 are reserved for internal use by the device and cannot be overwritten.
Byte 8 of the scratchpad is read-only and contains the
CRC code for bytes 0 through 7 of the scratchpad.
The DS18B20 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 betransmitted to the DS18B20 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 theleast significant bit of byte 0. To transfer the TH, TL andconfiguration data from the scratchpad to EEPROM, themaster must issue the Copy Scratchpad [48h] command.
Data in the EEPROM registers is retained when thedevice is powered down; at power-up the EEPROM data
is reloaded into the corresponding scratchpad locations.
Data can also be reloaded from EEPROM to the scratchpad at any time using the Recall E2 [B8h] command. The
master can issue read time slots following the Recall E2
command and the DS18B20 will indicate the status of therecall by transmitting 0 while the recall is in progress and1 when the recall is done.

received error free. The comparison of CRC values andthe decision to continue with an operation are determined
entirely by the bus master. There is no circuitry inside the
DS18B20 that prevents a command sequence from proceeding if the DS18B20 CRC (ROM or scratchpad) does
not match the value generated by the bus master.

Byte 4 of the scratchpad memory contains the configuration register, which is organized as illustrated in Figure 10.
The user can set the conversion resolution of the DS18B20
using the R0 and R1 bits in this register as shown in Table
2. 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 to
4 in the configuration register are reserved for internal use
by the device and cannot be overwritten.

The equivalent polynomial function of the CRC (ROM orscratchpad) is:
CRC = X8 + X5 + X4 + 1
The bus master can re-calculate the CRC and compare it
to the CRC values from the DS18B20 using the polynomial generator shown in Figure 11. This circuit consistsof 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 theshift register. After shifting in the 56th bit from the ROM or
the most significant bit of byte 7 from the scratchpad, thepolynomial generator will contain the recalculated CRC.
Next, the 8-bit ROM code or scratchpad CRC from theDS18B20 must be shifted into the circuit. At this point, if
the re-calculated CRC was correct, the shift register willcontain all 0s. Additional information about the Maxim
1-Wire cyclic redundancy check is available in Application
Note 27: Understanding and Using Cyclic Redundancy
Checks with Maxim iButton Products.

CRC Generation

CRC bytes are provided as part of the DS18B20’s 64-bit
ROM code and in the 9th byte of the scratchpad memory.
The ROM code CRC is calculated from the first 56 bitsof the ROM code and is contained in the most significant
byte of the ROM. The scratchpad CRC is calculated fromthe 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 DS18B20. To verify that data
has been read correctly, the bus master must re-calculate
the CRC from the received data and then compare thisvalue to either the ROM code CRC (for ROM reads) orto the scratchpad CRC (for scratchpad reads). If the calculated CRC matches the read CRC, the data has been

1-Wire Bus System

The 1-Wire bus system uses a single bus master to control one or more slave devices. The DS18B20 is always aslave. When there is only one slave on the bus, the system is referred to as a “single-drop” system; the system is“multidrop” 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 isbroken 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 DS18B20 (the DQ pin) is open
drain with an internal circuit equivalent to that shown in
Figure 12.
The 1-Wire bus requires an external pullup resistor of
approximately 5kΩ; thus, the idle state for the 1-Wirebus is high. If for any reason a transaction needs to besuspended, the bus MUST be left in the idle state if thetransaction 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 480µs, all components on the bus will
be reset.

Transaction Sequence

The transaction sequence for accessing the DS18B20 is
as follows:
Step 1. Initialization
Step 2. ROM Command (followed by any required dataexchange)
Step 3. DS18B20 Function Command (followed by any
required data exchange)
It is very important to follow this sequence every time the
DS18B20 is accessed, as the DS18B20 will not respond
if any steps in the sequence are missing or out of order.
Exceptions to this rule are the Search ROM [F0h] andAlarm Search [ECh] commands. After issuing either ofthese 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 bypresence pulse(s) transmitted by the slave(s). The presence pulse lets the bus master know that slave devices(such as the DS18B20) are on the bus and are readyto operate. Timing for the reset and presence pulses isdetailed 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 operateon the unique 64-bit ROM codes of each slave device
and allow the master to single out a specific device ifmany are present on the 1-Wire bus. These commands
also allow the master to determine how many and whattypes 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 masterdevice must issue an appropriate ROM command before
issuing a DS18B20 function command. A flowchart for
operation of the ROM commands is shown in Figure 13.

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 ofslaves 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 manytimes as necessary to identify all of the slave devices.

Maxim Integrated │ 10

DS18B20

If there is only one slave on the bus, the simpler Read
ROM [33h] command can be used in place of the Search
ROM process. For a detailed explanation of the Search
ROM procedure, refer to Application Note 937: Book of
iButton® Standards. After every Search ROM cycle, thebus master must return to Step 1 (Initialization) in thetransaction sequence.

Read Rom [33h]This command can only be used when there is one slaveon 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 multidrop 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.

Skip Rom [CCh]The master can use this command to address all deviceson the bus simultaneously without sending out any ROM
code information. For example, the master can make all
DS18B20s on the bus perform simultaneous temperature
conversions by issuing a Skip ROM command followed bya Convert T [44h] command.
Note that the Read Scratchpad [BEh] command canfollow the Skip ROM command only if there is a single
slave device on the bus. In this case, time is saved byallowing the master to read from the slave without sending the device’s 64-bit ROM code. A Skip ROM command
followed by a Read Scratchpad command 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 operationof the Search ROM command except that only slaves witha set alarm flag will respond. This command allows themaster device to determine if any DS18B20s 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

Programmable Resolution
1-Wire Digital Thermometer
master must return to Step 1 (Initialization) in the transaction sequence. See the Operation—Alarm Signaling section for an explanation of alarm flag operation.

DS18B20 Function Commands

After the bus master has used a ROM command toaddress the DS18B20 with which it wishes to communicate, the master can issue one of the DS18B20 functioncommands. These commands allow the master to write
to and read from the DS18B20’s scratchpad memory,
initiate temperature conversions and determine the power
supply mode. The DS18B20 function commands, which
are described below, are summarized in Table 3 and illustrated by the flowchart in Figure 14.

Convert T [44h]This command initiates a single temperature conversion.
Following the conversion, the resulting thermal data isstored in the 2-byte temperature register in the scratchpad memory and the DS18B20 returns to its low-power
idle state. If the device is being used in parasite powermode, within 10µs (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 describedin the Powering the DS18B20 section. If the DS18B20 ispowered by an external supply, the master can issue readtime slots after the Convert T command and the DS18B20
will respond by transmitting a 0 while the temperature
conversion is in progress and a 1 when the conversion isdone. In parasite power mode this notification techniquecannot 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 DS18B20’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 thirdbyte is written into the configuration register (byte 4). Data
must be transmitted least significant bit first. All threebytes 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 ofthe 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 partof 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 powermode, within 10µs (max) after this command is issued themaster must enable a strong pullup on the 1-Wire bus forat least 10ms as described in the Powering the DS18B20
section.

Recall E2 [B8h]This command recalls the alarm trigger values (TH andTL) and configuration data from EEPROM and places thedata 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 DS18B20 will
indicate the status of the recall by transmitting 0 while therecall 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 aread time slot to determine if any DS18B20s on the bus
are using parasite power. During the read time slot, parasite powered DS18B20s will pull the bus low, and externally powered DS18B20s will let the bus remain high. See
the Powering the DS18B20 section for usage information
for this command.

1-Wire Signaling

The DS18B20 uses a strict 1-Wire communication protocol to ensure data integrity. Several signal types aredefined by this protocol: reset pulse, presence pulse, write0, write 1, read 0, and read 1. The bus master initiates allthese signals, with the exception of the presence pulse.

Initialization Procedure—Reset And
Presence Pulses

All communication with the DS18B20 begins with an initialization sequence that consists of a reset pulse from themaster followed by a presence pulse from the DS18B20.
This is illustrated in Figure 15. When the DS18B20 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 480µs. The bus master then releases
the bus and goes into receive mode (RX). When the bus
is released, the 5kΩ pullup resistor pulls the 1-Wire bus
high. When the DS18B20 detects this rising edge, it waits
15µs to 60µs and then transmits a presence pulse by pulling the 1-Wire bus low for 60µs to 240µs.

Read/Write Time Slots

The bus master writes data to the DS18B20 during write
time slots and reads data from the DS18B20 during readtime slots. One bit of data is transmitted over the 1-Wirebus 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 1time slot to write a logic 1 to the DS18B20 and a Write
0 time slot to write a logic 0 to the DS18B20. All write
time slots must be a minimum of 60µs in duration with aminimum of a 1µs recovery time between individual write
slots. Both types of write time slots are initiated by themaster pulling the 1-Wire bus low (see Figure 14).
To generate a Write 1 time slot, after pulling the 1-Wirebus low, the bus master must release the 1-Wire bus
within 15µs. When the bus is released, the 5kΩ pullup
resistor will pull the bus high. To generate a Write 0 timeslot, after pulling the 1-Wire bus low, the bus master must
continue to hold the bus low for the duration of the timeslot (at least 60µs).
The DS18B20 samples the 1-Wire bus during a windowthat lasts from 15µs to 60µs after the master initiates thewrite time slot. If the bus is high during the sampling window, a 1 is written to the DS18B20. If the line is low, a 0
is written to the DS18B20.

read time slot, the DS18B20 will begin transmitting a 1
or 0 on bus. The DS18B20 transmits a 1 by leaving thebus high and transmits a 0 by pulling the bus low. Whentransmitting a 0, the DS18B20 will release the bus by theend of the time slot, and the bus will be pulled back to
its high idle state by the pullup resister. Output data fromthe DS18B20 is valid for 15µs after the falling edge that
initiated the read time slot. Therefore, the master must
release the bus and then sample the bus state within
15µs from the start of the slot.

All read time slots must be a minimum of 60µs in duration
with a minimum of a 1µs recovery time between slots. A
read time slot is initiated by the master device pulling the
1-Wire bus low for a minimum of 1µs and then releasing
the bus (see Figure 16). After the master initiates the

Figure 17 illustrates that the sum of TINIT, TRC, andTSAMPLE must be less than 15µs for a read time slot.
Figure 18 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 15µs period.

The DS18B20 can only transmit data to the master whenthe master issues read time slots. Therefore, the mastermust generate read time slots immediately after issuinga Read Scratchpad [BEh] or Read Power Supply [B4h]command, so that the DS18B20 can provide the requested data. In addition, the master can generate read timeslots after issuing Convert T [44h] or Recall E2 [B8h] commands to find out the status of the operation as explainedin the DS18B20 Function Commands section.
