The DS18B20Z 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 DS18B20Z communicates over a 1-Wire bus that by definition requires only one data line (and ground) for communication with a central microprocessor. It has an 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.
In addition, the DS18B20Z can derive power directly from the data line (“parasite power”), eliminating the need for an external power supply.
