Product details
Overview
DS1629S/T&R from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a 2-wire digital thermometer and real-time clock IC in an 8-pin SOIC package, measuring temperature from −55°C to +125°C with ±2.0°C typical accuracy and 9-bit resolution, featuring a programmable open-drain ALRM output, 32 bytes of user SRAM, and RTC with leap-year compensation through 2100 - used in thermal data loggers, cellular telephones, and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the DS1629S/T&R datasheet, DS1629S/T&R pinout, DS1629S/T&R application, or DS1629S/T&R equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-function integration (temperature sensing + RTC), 2.2V–5.5V supply range, 32.768kHz crystal interface, 400kHz I²C-compatible bus support, and factory-calibrated bandgap sensor requiring no external components.
Technical Context
The DS1629S/T&R integrates a delta-sigma ADC-based temperature sensor and a BCD-format RTC with automatic month-end and leap-year correction through year 2100. Its oscillator divider supports configurable OSC output frequencies (fO, fO/4, fO/8, or disabled) via nonvolatile OS0/OS1 bits.
Alarm logic combines independent thermal and time comparators feeding a single open-drain ALRM output, configurable for active-high or active-low polarity (POL bit) and four alarm modes (disabled, temp-only, time-only, or either) via A0/A1 bits. Temperature conversions operate in continuous or one-shot mode controlled by CNV and 1SH bits.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local thermal monitor with programmable TH/TL thresholds; ALRM pin triggers immediate system throttling or shutdown. Use Value: Prevents thermal runaway using hardware-level alarm assertion - faster and more reliable than software polling. |
| PC Power Supply Monitoring | Office Equipment Clocking |
Use Scenario: Monitoring heatsink temperature near VRMs and triggering fan speed adjustments based on thermal thresholds. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone thermal watchdog interfaced to PMBus or SMBus host; ALRM signals critical overtemperature events. Use Value: Provides fail-safe thermal protection independent of main CPU, improving system reliability under firmware failure conditions. | Use Scenario: Maintaining accurate wall-clock time and date in multifunction printers, scanners, and copiers during AC power interruptions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary RTC with battery-backed operation; uses internal oscillator and external 32.768kHz crystal for long-term accuracy. Use Value: Ensures correct timestamping of documents and scheduled tasks even after extended power loss, with no firmware date reset required. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital thermometer and RTC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS3231M+ | Higher RTC accuracy (±2ppm vs. DS1629S/T&R's ~200ppm), integrated TCXO, but no integrated temperature sensor - requires external thermistor or sensor. | Preferred where timekeeping precision dominates thermal monitoring; unsuitable when combined sensing+timing in one chip is mandatory. | Select DS3231M+ only if sub-second annual drift matters more than integrated temperature measurement. |
| MAX31875 | Dedicated high-accuracy digital thermometer (±0.25°C) with I²C interface, but no RTC or calendar functions - lacks time-stamping capability entirely. | Used when precise temperature logging is needed without time-of-day context; cannot replace DS1629S/T&R in timestamped logging or alarm-triggered time events. | Choose MAX31875 only for pure thermal sensing applications where RTC functionality is handled separately. |
Compared with DS3231M+ and MAX31875, the DS1629S/T&R uniquely delivers co-located, factory-calibrated temperature sensing and full BCD RTC in one SOIC-8 package - making it the only option when board space, component count, and hardware-level thermal+time alarm coordination are design priorities.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the DS1629S/T&R?
The DS1629S/T&R operates across −55°C to +125°C, with typical thermometer accuracy of ±2.0°C over this full range. This specification is verified per the device's factory calibration and applies directly to the DS1629S/T&R in its 8-pin SOIC package without derating or external compensation. The wide range supports deployment in harsh environments such as industrial controllers and automotive infotainment housings.
Does the DS1629S/T&R require external components to function as a thermometer?
No, the DS1629S/T&R does not require external components to perform temperature measurements. Its bandgap-based sensor and delta-sigma ADC are fully integrated and factory-calibrated; only a 32.768kHz crystal (for RTC) and pull-up resistors on SDA/SCL are needed for basic operation. The DS1629S/T&R achieves true "temperature-to-digital" conversion without thermistors, op-amps, or reference voltages.
How is the alarm output of the DS1629S/T&R configured for thermal events?
The DS1629S/T&R alarm output is configured for thermal events using nonvolatile TH and TL registers accessed via commands A1h and A2h. When temperature ≥ TH, the TAF flag sets and ALRM asserts; it remains active until temperature ≤ TL, enabling programmable hysteresis. Configuration is retained across power cycles, and polarity (active-high/low) is set via the POL bit in the configuration register (ACh).
Can the DS1629S/T&R operate from a 2.5V supply?
Yes, the DS1629S/T&R supports a supply voltage range of 2.2V to 5.5V, so 2.5V is fully within specification. At 2.5V, all core functions - temperature conversion, RTC operation, SRAM access, and I²C communication - remain fully functional. However, EEPROM writes (TH/TL registers) and temperature conversions are guaranteed only at 2.7V–5.5V per the datasheet, so those operations should be avoided below 2.7V.
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the DS1629S/T&R?
The DS1629S/T&R supports a maximum I²C clock frequency of 400kHz, compliant with Fast-mode I²C specifications. This allows high-speed register access and command execution without timing bottlenecks in microcontroller-based systems. The device responds to standard 7-bit slave address 1001111b (0x9F for write, 0x9E for read), with no address pins - limiting bus placement to a single DS1629S/T&R per I²C segment.
