Digital Thermometer and Thermostat

The DS1621 Digital Thermometer and Thermostat provides 9-bit temperature readings, which indicate the temperature of the device. The thermal alarm output, TOUT is active when the temperature of the device exceeds a user-defined temperature TH. The output remains active until the temperature drops below user defined temperature TL, allowing for any hysteresis necessary.

User-defined temperature settings are stored in nonvolatile memory so parts may be programmed prior to insertion in a system. Temperature settings and temperature readings are all communicated to/from the DS1621 over a simple 2-wire serial interface.

Applications

* Medical * Networking * Personal Computing * Routers/Switches * Test Measurement Systems * Wireless Base Stations

* Simply Adds Temperature Monitoring and Control to Any System
