Ds18b20 Sensor Probe functions and applications

A DS18B20 sensor probe is a small, digital temperature sensor that measures temperature using a 1-Wire communication protocol, allowing it to be connected to a microcontroller using only one data wire, making it ideal for applications where multiple temperature readings are needed from various locations with minimal wiring complexity; it is commonly used in applications like environmental monitoring, HVAC rendszerek, industrial process control, and even basic DIY projects due to its affordability and ease of use.
The core functionality of the DS18B20 Sensor Probe is its direct-to- digital temperature sensor. The resolution of the tempera- ture sensor is user-configurable to 9, 10, 11, vagy 12 bits, corresponding to increments of 0.5°C, 0.25°C, 0.125°C, and 0.0625°C, illetőleg. The default resolution at power-up is 12-bit.

The working principle of DS18B20 is that the oscillation frequency of the low temperature coefficient crystal is little affected by temperature, and is used to generate a fixed frequency pulse signal to be sent to counter 1. The oscillation frequency of the high temperature coefficient crystal changes significantly with temperature, and the generated signal is used as the pulse input of counter 2. The number of bits of the obtained temperature value varies with the resolution, and the delay time during temperature conversion is reduced from 2s to 750ms.

How it works:
1. Connection:
The sensor is connected to a microcontroller’s digital pin with a pull-up resistor on the data line.
2. Communication:
The microcontroller sends commands to the sensor through the 1-Wire protocol to initiate temperature measurement.
3. Temperature Conversion:
The sensor internally converts the temperature into a digital value.
4. Data Readout:
The microcontroller reads the digital value from the sensor, which is then converted into a temperature reading in Celsius.
