Comparison of the DS18B20 and DS18S20 1-Wire? Digital Thermometers Abstract:?The DS18B20 and DS18S20 are two very popular 1-Wire digital thermometers. This application note explains the similarities and differences between these two parts, and guides customers in selecting the best part for an application.  Introduction The DS18B20 and DS18S20 1-Wire devices are both popular and excellent choices for any application requiring digital thermometers. Both devices offer the same resolution and accuracy. The two parts differ only in how the data is presented to the user. This application note describes how the devices work and the differences between them. Applications for each device are recommended. How the Devices Work The DS18B20 and DS18S20 both use the same base design. Temperature measurements are made using two bandgap-generated voltage sources. One of the voltage sources has a high-temperature coefficient and changes deterministically across temperature. The other voltage source has a low-temperature coefficient and does not change across temperature. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converts the difference between these two voltages to a digital value, representing the temperature of the device. The resolution of the temperature conversion can be selected from 9 to 12 bits. Differences Between the Two Devices We start the discussion with a short digression back to the original DS1820.The DS1820 used a dual-oscillator topology to perform a temperature conversion. The resolution of the original DS1820 was only 9 bits. Additional resolution could be achieved by reading two additional register bytes (Count Per °C and Count Remain) and by performing the following calculation. For this calculation, Temp_Read is the value obtained by truncating the 0.5°C bit (bit 0) from the temperature data.The DS18S20 was designed to be a drop-in replacement for the original DS1820. To work as a replacement, the ADC in the DS18S20 is factory configured to always perfor
