Product Overview: DS24B33+ from Maxim Integrated
The DS24B33+ is a robust, high-performance 1-Wire digital thermometer from Maxim Integrated, providing a convenient solution for systems requiring temperature monitoring with minimal wiring. This device leverages Maxim's expertise in 1-Wire technology to deliver precise temperature measurements while enabling a simple interface with a microcontroller over a single data line, plus ground, for both power and communication.
The DS24B33+ has a wide temperature range of -55°C to +125°C with an accuracy of ±0.5°C from -10°C to +85°C, making it suitable for a variety of environments and applications. It is capable of reporting temperature values in 9-bit to 12-bit resolutions, allowing designers to make a trade-off between resolution and conversion time.
This device features a unique 64-bit serial code stored in an onboard ROM, allowing multiple DS24B33+ devices to coexist on the same 1-Wire bus. This makes it particularly useful in applications where multiple sensing points are required. The 1-Wire protocol used by the DS24B33+ includes a CRC generator that provides data integrity during communication, ensuring reliable temperature readings.
Encased in a compact, three-pin TO-92 package, the DS24B33+ is designed for easy integration into a variety of systems. Its small form factor is ideal for space-constrained applications, and its low power requirements allow it to perform well in battery-powered devices. It is also available in an eight-pin SOIC package, providing flexibility for different design needs.
Applications for the DS24B33+ are diverse and include environmental controls, HVAC systems, cold chain monitoring, industrial systems, and any application that requires accurate and reliable temperature readings with minimal hardware complexity. Maxim Integrated's commitment to quality ensures that the DS24B33+ is a reliable choice for designers looking to enhance their temperature monitoring capabilities.
