Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

System requirement.
Maximum allowable pullup resistance is a function of the number of 1-Wire devices in the system and 1-Wire recovery
times. The specified value here applies to systems with only one device and with the minimum 1-Wire recovery times. For
more heavily loaded systems, an active pullup such as that found in the DS2480B may be required.
Capacitance on IO could be 800pF when power is first applied. If a 2.2kΩ resistor is used to pull up the data line, 2.5µs
after V
PUP
has been applied, the parasite capacitor does not affect normal communication.
These values are derived from simulation across process, voltage, and temperature and are not production tested.
Input load is to ground.
All voltages are referenced to ground.
V
TL
and V
TH
are functions of the internal supply voltage, which is a function of V
PUP
and the 1-Wire recovery times. The
V
TH
and V
TL
maximum specifications are valid at V
PUP
= 5.25V. In any case, V
TL
< V
TH
< V
PUP
.
Voltage below which, during a falling edge of IO, a logic 0 is detected.
The voltage on IO must be less than or equal to V
ILMAX
whenever the master drives the line low.
Voltage above which, during a rising edge on IO, a logic 1 is detected.
The I-V characteristic is linear for voltages less than 1V.

are

in compliance with the published iButton device standards. See the
Comparison Table.
ε
in Figure 15 represents the time required for the pullup circuitry to pull the voltage on the IO pin up from V

δ

Note 17: WARNING:
Maxim data-logger products are 100% tested and calibrated at time of manufacture to ensure that they meet
all data sheet parameters, including temperature accuracy. As with any sensor-based product, user shall be responsible
for occasionally rechecking the temperature accuracy of the product to ensure it is still operating properly. Furthermore, as
with all products of this type, when deployed in the field and subjected to handling, harsh environments, or other
hazards/use conditions, there may be some extremely small but nonzero logger failure rate. In applications where the fail-
ure of any logger is a concern, user shall assure that redundant (or other primary) methods of testing and determining the
handling methods, quality, and fitness of the articles and products are implemented to further mitigate any risk.
Note 18:
The number of temperature conversions (= samples) possible with the built-in energy source depends on the operating and
storage temperature of the device. When not in use for a mission, the RTC oscillator should be turned off and the device
should be stored at a temperature not exceeding +25°C. Under this condition the shelf life time is 10 years minimum.
