Digital Thermometer

The document summarizes using a DS18B20 digital thermometer with a PIC16F877A microcontroller. The DS18B20 can measure temperatures from -55°C to +125°C with accuracy of ±0.5°C. It communicates over a 1-Wire bus using only one data line plus ground. The code example shows how to interface the DS18B20 with the PIC16F877A to read and display temperature measurements on an LCD screen every 500ms by issuing commands over the 1-Wire bus.

DS18B20 with 16F877A (Thermometer)

POSTED BY LITTLE DJ AT 9:51 AM0 COMMENTS

Dallas 18B20

The DS18B20 digital thermometer provides 9-bit to 12-bit Celsius temperature


measurements and has an alarm function with nonvolatile user-programmable upper
and lower trigger points. The DS18B20 communicates over a 1-Wire bus that by
definition requires only one data line (and ground) for communication with a central
microprocessor. It has an operating temperature range of -55C to +125 and is accurate
to 0.5C over the range of -10C to +85C.
Here the thermometer (Dallas 18B20) senses the environment temperature and then
sends that value as a digital input with 16bit binary code to the microcontroller. It could
measure temperatures from -55C to +125C (-67F to +257F). Dallas 18B20 uses 1
wire bus system to communicate with the microcontroller. The 1-Wire bus system uses a
single bus master to control one or more slave devices. The DS18B20 is always a slave.
When there is only one slave on the bus, the system is referred to as a single-drop
system, the system is multi-drop if there are multiple slaves on the bus.
