The DS1821 can function as a standalone thermostat with user-programmable trip-points or as 8-bit temperature sensor with a 1-Wire® digital interface. The thermostat trip-points are stored in nonvolatile memory, so DS1821 units can be programmed prior to system insertion for true standalone operation.
The DS1821 has an operating temperature range of –55°C to +125°C and is accurate to ±1°C over a range of 0°C to +85°C. Communication with the DS1821 is accomplished through the open-drain DQ pin; this pin also serves as the thermostat output.
