Description

The DS1775 digital thermometer and thermostatprovides temperature readings that indicate the device’stemperature. Thermostat settings and temperaturereadings are all communicated to/from the DS1775 overa simple 2-wire serial interface. No additional componentsare required; the device is truly a “temperature-to-digital”converter.For applications that require greater temperature resolution,the user can adjust the readout resolution from 9 to 12bits. This is particularly useful in applications wherethermal runaway conditions must be detected quickly.The open-drain thermal alarm output, O.S., becomesactive when the temperature of the device exceeds auser-defined temperature TOS. The number of consecutivefaults required to set O.S. active is configurable by theuser. The device can also be configured in the interrupt orcomparator mode, to customize the method which clearsthe fault condition.As a digital thermometer, the DS1775 is software compatiblewith the DS75 2-wire thermal watchdog. The DS1775 isassembled in a compact 5-pin SOT23 package, allowingfor low-cost thermal monitoring/control in spaceconstrainedapplications. The low thermal mass allows fortime constants previously only possible with thermistors.ApplicationsAny Thermally-Sensitive SystemCell PhonesOffice EquipmentPersonal Computers/Servers/Workstations
