DS1624
Digital Thermometer and Memory
FEATURES
Temperature measurements require no
external components
Measures temperatures from -55°C to +125°C
in 0.03125°C increments. Fahrenheit
equivalent is -67°F to +257°F in 0.05625°F
increments
Temperature is read as a 13-bit value (two
byte transfer)
Converts temperature to digital word in 1
second (max)
256 bytes of E2 memory on board for storing
information such as frequency compensation
coefficients
Data is read from/written via a 2-wire serial
interface (open drain I/O lines)
Applications include temperature-
compensated crystal oscillators for test
equipment and radio systems
8-pin DIP or SOIC packages

DESCRIPTION
The DS1624 consists of a digital thermometer and 256 bytes of E2 memory. The thermometer provides
13-bit temperature readings which indicate the temperature of the device. The E2 memory allows a user to
store frequency compensation coefficients for digital correction of crystal frequency due to temperature.
Any other type of information may also reside in this user space.
