General Description
The MAX31826 digital thermometer provides 12-bit temperature measurements and communicates over a 1-WireM bus that by definition requires only one data line (and ground) for communication with a central microcontroller. It has a -55NC to +125NC operating temperature range and is accurate to Q0.5NC over the -10NC to +85NC range. In addition, the device can derive power directly from the data line (“parasite power”), eliminating the need for an external power supply.

Benefits and Features
