DESCRIPTION
The DS1621 Digital Thermometer and Thermostat provides 9-bit temperature readings, which indicate
the temperature of the device. The thermal alarm output, T
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
A block diagram of the DS1621 is shown in Figure 1.
The DS1621 measures temperature using a bandgap-based temperature sensor. A delta-sigma analog-todigital 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.

Since data is transmitted over the 2-wire bus MSB first, temperature data may be written to/read from the
DS1621 as either a single byte (with temperature resolution of 1°C) or as two bytes. The second byte
would contain the value of the least significant (0.5°C) bit of the temperature reading as shown in Table
1. Note that the remaining 7 bits of this byte are set to all "0"s.
Temperature is represented in the DS1621 in terms of a ½°C LSB, yielding the following 9-bit format:

Higher resolutions may be obtained by reading the temperature and truncating the 0.5°C bit (the LSB)
from the read value. This value is TEMP_READ. A Read Counter command should be issued to yield the
COUNT_REMAIN value. The Read Slope command should then be issued to obtain the
COUNT_PER_C value. The higher resolution temperature may be then be calculated by the user using
the following:
TEMPERATURE=TEMP_READ-0.25 +
The DS1621 always powers up in a low power idle state, and the Start Convert T command must be used
to initiate conversions.
The DS1621 can be programmed to perform continuous consecutive conversions (continuous-conversion
mode) or to perform single conversions on command (one-shot mode). The conversion mode is
programmed through the 1SHOT bit in the configuration register as explained in the Operation and
Control section of this datasheet. In continuous conversion mode, the DS1621 begins continuous
conversions after a Start Convert T command is issued. Consecutive conversions continue to be
performed until a Stop Convert T command is issued, at which time the device goes into a low-power idle
state. Continuous conversions can be restarted at any time using the Start Convert T command.

(°C)
In one-shot mode, the DS1621 performs a single temperature conversion when a Start Convert T
command is issued. When the conversion is complete, the device enters a low-power idle state and
remains in that state until a single temperature conversion is again initiated by a Start Convert T
command.
Thermostat Control
In its operating mode, the DS1621 functions as a thermostat with programmable hysteresis as shown in
Figure 3. The thermostat output updates as soon as a temperature conversion is complete.
When the DS1621’s temperature meets or exceeds the value stored in the high temperature trip register
(TH), the output becomes active and will stay active until the temperature falls below the temperature
stored in the low temperature trigger register (TL). In this way, any amount of hysteresis may be
obtained.
The active state for the output is programmable by the user so that an active state may either be a logic
"1" (V
) or a logic "0" (0V). This is done using the POL bit in the configuration reagister as explained
DD
in the Operation and Control section of this datasheet.

OPERATION AND CONTROL
The DS1621 must have temperature settings resident in the TH and TL registers for thermostatic
operation. A configuration/status register also determines the method of operation that the DS1621 will
use in a particular application, as well as indicating the status of the temperature conversion operation.
The configuration register is defined as follows:
MSb Bit 6 Bit5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 LSb
DONE THF TLF NVB X X POL 1SHOT
where
DONE = Conversion Done bit. “1” = Conversion complete, “0” = Conversion in progress.
THF = Temperature High Flag. This bit will be set to “1” when the temperature is greater than or
equal to the value of TH. It will remain “1” until reset by writing “0” into this location or removing power
from the device. This feature provides a method of determining if the DS1621 has ever been subjected to
temperatures above TH while power has been applied.
