About this manual

The DS1621 is a digital thermometer and thermostat that measures temperature from –55 °C to +125 °C in 0.5 °C steps. Temperature data is output as a 9‑bit two’s‑complement value over a 2‑wire serial bus, and user‑defined high (TH) and low (TL) temperature thresholds are stored in non‑volatile memory for thermostat operation.

The device operates from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply, supports both standard (100 kHz) and fast (400 kHz) I²C‑compatible bus speeds, and offers continuous‑conversion or one‑shot modes. Electrical characteristics, pin assignments, and timing diagrams are detailed for system integration.
