DESCRIPTION The DS18B20-PAR 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
DS18B20-PAR does not need an external power supply because it derives power directly from the data
line (“parasite power”). The DS18B20-PAR communicates over a 1-Wire bus, which 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 +100°C and is accurate to ±0.5°C over a range of –10°C to
+85°C.
Each DS18B20-PAR has a unique 64-bit identification code, which allows multiple DS18B20-PARs to
function on the same 1–wire bus; thus, it is simple to use one microprocessor to control many DS18B20-
PARs distributed over a large area. Applications that can benefit from this feature include HVAC

OVERVIEW The DS18B20-PAR 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 DS18B20-PAR). 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.
An important feature of the DS18B20-PAR is its 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.”
Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the DS18B20-PAR, 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). The TH and TL
registers are nonvolatile (EEPROM), so they will retain their data when the device is powered down.

DS18B20-PAR
PARASITE POWER The DS18B20-PAR’s parasite power circuit allows the DS18B20-PAR to operate without a local external
power supply. This ability is especially useful for applications that require remote temperature sensing or
that are very space constrained. Figure 1 shows the DS18B20-PAR’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 DS18B20-PAR 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.
The 1-Wire bus and CPP can provide sufficient parasite power to the DS18B20-PAR 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 DS18B20-PAR 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 DS18B20-PAR 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 2. 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.
SUPPLYING THE DS18B20-PAR DURING TEMPERATURE CONVERSIONS Figure 2
OPERATION – MEASURING TEMPERATURE The core functionality of the DS18B20-PAR is its direct-to-digital temperature sensor. The resolution of
the temperature sensor is user-configurable to 9, 10, 11, or 12 bits, which corresponds 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-PAR 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
DS18B20-PAR returns to its idle state. The DS18B20-PAR output 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

*The power-on reset value of the temperature register is +85°C
OPERATION – ALARM SIGNALING After the DS18B20-PAR 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
4). 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.
TH AND TL REGISTER FORMAT Figure 4 bit 7 bit 6 bit 5 bit 4 bit 3 bit 2 bit 1 bit 0
S 26 25 24 23 22 21 20
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 or equal to TH or lower than
or equal to TL, an alarm condition exists and an alarm flag is set inside the DS18B20-PAR. 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.
DS18B20-PAR
The master device can check the alarm flag status of all DS DS18B20-PARs on the bus by issuing an
Alarm Search [ECh] command. Any DS18B20-PARs with a set alarm flag will respond to the command,
so the master can determine exactly which DS18B20-PARs 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.
64-BIT LASERED ROM CODE Each DS18B20-PAR contains a unique 64–bit code (see Figure 5) stored in ROM. The least significant 8
bits of the ROM code contain the DS18B20-PAR’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 DS18B20-PAR to operate as a 1–wire device using the protocol detailed in the 1-WIRE BUS
SYSTEM section of this datasheet.
64-BIT LASERED ROM CODE Figure 5 8-BIT CRC 48-BIT SERIAL NUMBER 8-BIT FAMILY CODE (28h)
MEMORY The DS18B20-PAR’s memory is organized as shown in Figure 6. 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-PAR 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-PAR 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.
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 DS18B20-PAR 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, and the
data must be transmitted to the DS18B20-PAR 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
to the scratchpad at any time using the Recall E2 [B8h] command. The master can issue “read time slots”
(see the 1-WIRE BUS SYSTEM section) following the Recall E2 command and the DS18B20-PAR will
indicate the status of the recall by transmitting 0 while the recall is in progress and 1 when the recall is

CONFIGURATION REGISTER Byte 4 of the scratchpad memory contains the configuration register, which is organized as illustrated in
Figure 7. The user can set the conversion resolution of the DS18B20-PAR using the R0 and R1 bits in
this 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.

CRC GENERATION CRC bytes are provided as part of the DS18B20-PAR’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

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 DS18B20-PAR that prevents a command sequence from
proceeding if the DS18B20-PAR 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 DS18B20-PAR
using the polynomial generator shown in Figure 8. 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 DS18B20-PAR must be shifted into the circuit. At this point, if the re-calculated CRC was
correct, 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.”
CRC GENERATOR Figure 8
1-WIRE BUS SYSTEM The 1-Wire bus system uses a single bus master to control one or more slave devices. The DS18B20-
PAR 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
DS18B20-PAR (the DQ pin) is open drain with an internal circuit equivalent to that shown in Figure 9.
The 1-Wire bus requires an external pullup resistor of approximately 5 kΩ; thus, 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. 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. In addition, to assure that the DS18B20-PAR has sufficient
supply current during temperature conversions, it is necessary to provide a strong pullup (such as a
MOSFET) on the 1-Wire bus whenever temperature conversions or EEPROM writes are taking place (as
(MSB) (LSB)

DS18B20-PAR
HARDWARE CONFIGURATION Figure 9
TRANSACTION SEQUENCE The transaction sequence for accessing the DS18B20-PAR is as follows:
Step 1. Initialization
Step 2. ROM Command (followed by any required data exchange)
Step 3. DS18B20-PAR Function Command (followed by any required data exchange)
It is very important to follow this sequence every time the DS18B20-PAR is accessed, as the DS18B20-
PAR 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 DS18B20-PAR) 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 DS18B20-PAR function command. A
flowchart for operation of the ROM commands is shown in Figure 10.

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.
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 DS18B20-PARs 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 DS18B20-PARs 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.
DS18B20-PAR FUNCTION COMMANDS After the bus master has used a ROM command to address the DS18B20-PAR with which it wishes to
communicate, the master can issue one of the DS18B20-PAR function commands. These commands
allow the master to write to and read from the DS18B20-PAR’s scratchpad memory, initiate temperature
conversions and determine the power supply mode. The DS18B20-PAR function commands, which are
described below, are summarized in Table 4 and illustrated by the flowchart in Figure 11.
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 DS18B20-PAR returns
to its low-power idle state. 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 PARASITE
POWER section.
WRITE SCRATCHPAD [4Eh]
DS18B20-PAR
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. If only part of the scratchpad contents is required, the master may issue a reset to terminate reading
at any time.
COPY SCRATCHPAD [48h] This command copies the contents of the scratchpad TH, TL and configuration registers (bytes 2, 3 and 4)
to EEPROM. Within 10 μs (max) after this command is issued the master must enable a strong pullup on
the 1-Wire bus for at least 10 ms as described in the PARASITE POWER 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” (see the 1-WIRE BUS SYSTEM section) following the Recall E2 command and the
DS18B20-PAR 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.
