SPECIAL FEATURES
§ Multidrop controller for MicroLAN
§ Digital identification and information by
momentary contact
§ Chip-based data carrier compactly stores
information
§ Digital thermometer measures temperatures
from -55°C to +100°C in typically 0.2
seconds
§ Zero standby power
§ 0.5°C resolution, digital temperature reading
is two’s complement of °C value
§ Access to internal counters allows increased
resolution through interpolation
§ Reduces control, address, data, and power to
a single data contact
§ 8-bit device-generated CRC for data integrity
§ 8-bit family code specifies DS1920
communications requirements to reader
§ Special command set allows user to skip
ROM section and do temperature
measurements simultaneously for all devices
on the bus
§ Data can be accessed while affixed to object
§ Economically communicates to bus master
with a single digital signal at 16.3k bits per
second
§ Standard 16 mm diameter and 1-WireTM
protocol ensure compatibility with iButton
family
§ Button shape is self-aligning with cup-
shaped probes
§ Durable stainless steel case engraved with
registration number withstands harsh

§ 2 bytes of EEPROM to be used either as
alarm triggers or user memory
§ Alarm search directly indicates which device
senses alarming temperatures
COMMON iButton FEATURES
§ Unique, factory-lasered and tested 64-bit
registration number (8-bit family code + 48-
bit serial number + 8-bit CRC tester) assures
absolute traceability because no two parts are
alike
