Product details
Overview
DS1631U+T&R from Maxim Integrated is a high-precision digital thermometer and thermostat IC with 9–12-bit user-selectable resolution, ±0.5°C accuracy from 0°C to +70°C, and operation over -55°C to +125°C. It features nonvolatile TH/TL trip-point registers, push-pull TOUT output, and 2-wire (I²C-compatible) interface - used for thermal monitoring in space-constrained embedded systems such as network routers and cellular base stations.
For engineers reviewing the DS1631U+T&R datasheet, DS1631U+T&R pinout, DS1631U+T&R application, or DS1631U+T&R equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternatives, and supply-ready procurement details - all grounded in Maxim's official DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731 datasheet Rev 1 (1/15).
Technical Context
The DS1631U+T&R implements a bandgap-based temperature sensor with delta-sigma ADC, supporting continuous or one-shot conversion modes controlled via its 1-byte configuration register. Its 2-wire serial interface uses open-drain SDA and input-only SCL, with slave address 1001A2A1A0 and support for up to eight devices on one bus.
Thermostat functionality is fully configurable: TH and TL registers are stored in NV EEPROM (50k write cycles, 10-year retention), enabling pre-installation programming; TOUT polarity (active-high/low) and hysteresis are set via POL and R0/R1 bits; temperature high/low flags (THF/TLF) provide latched status reporting independent of microcontroller polling.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
DS1631U+T&R is packaged in an 8-pin µSOP (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in compact networking and telecom modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: SDA | 2-wire bidirectional data line | Open-drain I/O requiring external pull-up; supports multidrop addressing and ACK/NACK handshaking per I²C protocol. |
| 2: SCL | 2-wire clock input | Input-only; synchronizes all read/write transfers; tolerates 0–400 kHz clock frequency with defined rise/fall timing. |
| 3: TOUT | Thermostat output | Push-pull digital output; asserts active state (configurable polarity) when temperature crosses TH/TL thresholds - drives LEDs, MOSFET gates, or interrupt lines directly. |
| 4: GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for analog sensor core and digital logic; must be low-impedance to maintain ±0.5°C accuracy. |
| 5: A2 | Slave address bit | Hardware-configurable MSB of 7-bit I²C address (1001A2A1A0); enables unique addressing of up to eight DS1631U+T&R units on shared bus. |
| 6: A1 | Slave address bit | Hardware-configurable middle bit of I²C address; used with A2 and A0 to avoid address collisions in distributed sensing networks. |
| 7: A0 | Slave address bit | Hardware-configurable LSB of I²C address; allows plug-and-play expansion without firmware reconfiguration. |
| 8: VDD | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; powers internal bandgap reference, ADC, EEPROM, and I/O buffers - no external regulator needed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile Trip-Point Storage | TH and TL registers retain user-defined thresholds in EEPROM - eliminates boot-time MCU initialization and enables true "set-and-forget" thermostat deployment. |
| Configurable Conversion Mode | 1SHOT bit selects one-shot (single measurement) or continuous mode; DS1631U+T&R defaults to idle - prevents unintended power-on conversions unless explicitly enabled. |
| Latched Temperature Flags | THF and TLF bits record peak excursion history (≥TH or ≤TL) since power-up - supports diagnostic logging and fault recovery without continuous polling. |
| Resolution-Scalable Timing | Conversion time scales deterministically (93.75 ms → 750 ms) with resolution (9→12 bits) - enables predictable system-level timing budgets for thermal control loops. |
| Wide Supply Range Operation | Functional across 2.7–5.5V with stable accuracy - accommodates brown-out conditions and mixed-voltage board designs without recalibration. |
Applications
| Network Router Thermal Management | Cellular Base Station Power Amplifier Monitoring |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital thermometer and thermostat applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1631AU+T&R | Auto-starts temperature conversions at power-up; identical pinout, specs, and EEPROM features. | Preferred where immediate post-power-on thermostat action is required without MCU command sequence. | Select DS1631AU+T&R if autonomous startup is mandatory; otherwise DS1631U+T&R offers greater control over conversion initiation timing. |
| LM75BIMM/NOPB | 9-bit fixed resolution, ±2°C accuracy over -25°C to +100°C, no NV TH/TL storage, open-drain TOUT only. | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where ±0.5°C accuracy and nonvolatile thresholds are not required. | Choose LM75BIMM/NOPB for simpler, lower-cost thermal alerting; DS1631U+T&R is required for precision industrial or telecom use cases demanding traceable calibration and field-programmable hysteresis. |
Compared with DS1631AU+T&R, DS1631U+T&R gives full software control over conversion start timing, while LM75BIMM/NOPB lacks EEPROM trip-point storage and sub-degree accuracy - making DS1631U+T&R the only option meeting telecom-grade thermal management requirements with zero MCU dependency for configuration persistence.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the DS1631U+T&R?
The DS1631U+T&R operates from -55°C to +125°C, with guaranteed ±0.5°C accuracy between 0°C and +70°C at supply voltages from 3.0V to 5.5V. This range supports deployment in harsh environments including outdoor telecom enclosures and industrial control cabinets. The device maintains functional integrity across the full range, though accuracy degrades to ±2°C outside the 0°C to +70°C band.
Does the DS1631U+T&R require external components for basic operation?
No, the DS1631U+T&R requires no external components for core thermometer and thermostat functionality. Only two external pull-up resistors (on SDA and SCL) are needed for I²C communication. Its integrated bandgap sensor, delta-sigma ADC, EEPROM, and push-pull TOUT eliminate the need for external references, op-amps, or discrete logic - reducing BOM count and layout area in space-constrained designs.
How does the DS1631U+T&R store thermostat trip points?
The DS1631U+T&R stores upper (TH) and lower (TL) trip points in on-chip NV EEPROM, rated for 50,000 write cycles and 10 years of data retention at -55°C to +55°C. These registers retain values across power cycles, allowing thresholds to be programmed once during manufacturing or field service - enabling true "set-and-forget" thermal protection without MCU involvement during normal operation.
Can multiple DS1631U+T&R devices share the same I²C bus?
Yes, up to eight DS1631U+T&R devices can operate on a single 2-wire bus using hardware-addressable pins A2, A1, and A0. Each device accepts a unique 7-bit slave address (1001A2A1A0), enabling distributed temperature sensing across PCBs or chassis without bus arbitration or additional controllers - ideal for rack-mounted telecom or server thermal monitoring.
What is the conversion time for 12-bit resolution on the DS1631U+T&R?
At 12-bit resolution, the DS1631U+T&R requires 750 ms per temperature conversion - the maximum time among its four selectable resolutions (9-bit: 93.75 ms, 10-bit: 187.5 ms, 11-bit: 375 ms). This deterministic timing allows precise scheduling of thermal control actions in real-time systems, and the DONE bit in the configuration register signals completion for synchronous polling or interrupt-driven handling.
