18B20 Overview
The DS18B20 digital thermometer provides 9-bit to 12-bit Celsius temperature measurements and has an alarm function with nonvolatile user-programmable upper and lower trigger points. The DS18B20 municates over a 1-Wire bus that by definition requires only one data line (and ground) for munication with a central microprocessor. In addition, the DS18B20 can derive power directly from the data line (“parasite power”),...
