Description

The DS1825 digital thermometer provides 9 to 12-bit centigrade temperature measurements and has an alarmfunction with NV user-programmable upper and lower trigger points. The DS1825 communicates over a 1-Wire® busthat by definition requires only one data line (and ground) for communication with a central microprocessor. It hasan operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and is accurate to ±0.5°C over the range of -10°C to +85°C. Inaddition, the DS1825 can derive power directly from the data line (“parasite power”), eliminating the need for anexternal power supply.Each DS1825 has a unique 64-bit serial code, which allows multiple DS1825s to function on the same 1-Wire bus;thus, it is simple to use one microprocessor to control many DS1825s distributed over a large area. In addition, the4-bit location address can be used to identify specific temperature sensors in the system without requiring a widelookup table. Applications that can benefit from this feature include HVAC environmental controls, temperaturemonitoring systems inside buildings, equipment or machinery, and process monitoring and control systems.ApplicationsConsumer ProductsIndustrial SystemsThermally Sensitive SystemsThermometersThermostatic Controls
