Product Overview
DS18B20Z+T&R from ADI/Maxim is a 1-Wire digital temperature sensor with +/-0.5C accuracy from -10C to +85C. 12-bit resolution (0.0625C). Parasitic or external power. TO-92 package. T&R = tape-and-reel.
Working Principle
1-Wire protocol: single data line for bidirectional communication. Internal temperature-to-digital converter uses bandgap sensor with delta-sigma ADC. Parasitic power mode draws energy from data line. 64-bit unique ROM ID allows multiple sensors on one bus.
