Product details
Overview
DS1631Z+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-precision digital thermometer and thermostat IC with ±0.5°C accuracy from 0°C to +70°C, 9–12-bit user-selectable resolution, and integrated nonvolatile TH/TL trip-point registers. It operates over -55°C to +125°C on 2.7V–5.5V supply and delivers push-pull TOUT output for direct thermal control in space-constrained embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1631Z+ datasheet, DS1631Z+ pinout, DS1631Z+ application, or DS1631Z+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed I²C timing compliance (400kHz), real-world thermostat hysteresis implementation, and accurate alternative part comparisons - all specific to the DS1631Z+ SO package variant.
Technical Context
The DS1631Z+ implements a bandgap-based temperature sensor paired with a delta-sigma ADC, enabling calibrated 16-bit two's complement temperature readings. Its configuration register controls resolution (R0/R1 bits), TOUT polarity (POL), and conversion mode (1SHOT), with POL and 1SHOT stored in EEPROM for power-up persistence.
Communication occurs via a standard 2-wire (I²C-compatible) interface with open-drain SDA and push-pull TOUT, supporting up to eight devices on one bus using A0–A2 address pins. The device supports both continuous and one-shot conversion modes, with conversion times ranging from 93.75ms (9-bit) to 750ms (12-bit).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Accuracy | ±0.5°C from 0°C to +70°C at 3.0–5.5V - enables reliable thermal monitoring without external calibration in commercial-grade systems. |
| Temperature Range | -55°C to +125°C - supports operation in industrial, telecom, and automotive under-hood environments. |
| Resolution | User-selectable 9–12 bits (0.5°C to 0.0625°C step) - allows trade-off between precision and conversion speed per system timing requirements. |
| I²C Speed | Up to 400kHz clock frequency - compatible with standard-mode I²C controllers without timing margin concerns. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 5.5V - interoperable with 3.3V and 5V logic domains without level-shifting. |
| Standby Current | 800nA at 0°C to +70°C - suitable for battery-powered portable products requiring ultra-low quiescent power. |
| EEPROM Endurance | 50,000 write cycles with 10-year data retention - ensures robust field-programmability of TH/TL thresholds and configuration bits. |
Pinout & Package
DS1631Z+ is packaged in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, 150mil or 208mil body width, surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles (peak 220°C). Pin 1 is marked with a dot or beveled edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SDA) | Data I/O for 2-wire interface | Open-drain bidirectional line requiring external pullup; supports multidrop I²C bus with up to 8 devices. |
| 2 (SCL) | Clock input | CMOS-compatible input accepting 0–400kHz clock; no internal pullup - master must drive or pull up. |
| 3 (TOUT) | Thermostat output | Push-pull active-high/low output (configurable via POL bit); drives logic-level loads directly without external transistor. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 5 (A2) | Device address bit | Logic-level input (0 or VDD) setting MSB of 7-bit slave address (1001A2A1A0); enables unique addressing in multidrop systems. |
| 6 (A1) | Device address bit | Logic-level input setting middle bit of slave address; combined with A2/A0, defines one of eight possible I²C addresses. |
| 7 (A0) | Device address bit | Logic-level input setting LSB of slave address; determines device identity on shared I²C bus. |
| 8 (VDD) | Power supply | +2.7V to +5.5V supply input; bypass capacitor (0.1µF ceramic) required near pin for noise immunity during conversions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile TH/TL registers | EEPROM-stored upper/lower trip points retain settings across power cycles - eliminates need for host MCU reprogramming at startup. |
| Configurable TOUT polarity | POL bit in configuration register selects active-high or active-low thermostat output - simplifies interface to existing control logic or relay drivers. |
| Temperature high/low flags (THF/TLF) | SRAM bits record if temperature ever exceeded TH or fell below TL since power-on - enables fault logging without continuous polling. |
| Software POR command | 0x54 command resets all registers and logic to power-up state - allows deterministic recovery without hardware reset line. |
| 12-bit default resolution | Power-up resolution is 12 bits (0.0625°C steps), with conversion time 750ms - balances precision and responsiveness for most thermal management tasks. |
Applications
| Network Routers and Switches | Cellular Base Stations |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1631S+ | Identical electrical specs and pinout; differs only in SO package width (208mil vs. DS1631Z+'s 150mil) - same die, same functionality. | Same use cases; selected when board layout requires wider SO footprint or legacy footprint compatibility. | Drop-in replacement for DS1631Z+ where 208mil SO pad spacing is specified; verify land pattern match before substitution. |
| MAX31820 | 1-Wire interface (not I²C), ±0.5°C accuracy over -10°C to +85°C, no TOUT pin - requires host polling instead of autonomous alarm output. | Lacks hardware thermostat output; suited for point-sensing where microcontroller handles alarm logic, not for standalone thermal cutoff. | Choose when 1-Wire infrastructure exists and TOUT autonomy is unnecessary; avoid when push-pull hardware alarm is required. |
Compared with DS1631Z+, DS1631S+ offers identical thermal performance and I²C functionality in a mechanically distinct SO package, while MAX31820 replaces I²C with 1-Wire and removes autonomous TOUT - making DS1631Z+ uniquely suited for space-limited designs needing self-contained thermal control.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for DS1631Z+?
The DS1631Z+ operates from 2.7V to 5.5V DC supply voltage. This wide range allows direct interfacing with both 3.3V and 5V system rails without level translation. Operation below 2.7V is not guaranteed, and exceeding 5.5V may damage the device. The ±0.5°C accuracy specification applies only within 3.0V–5.5V at 0°C to +70°C ambient.
Does DS1631Z+ support multidrop I²C configurations?
Yes, DS1631Z+ supports multidrop I²C bus operation with up to eight devices. Addressing is controlled by the A0, A1, and A2 pins, which configure the three LSBs of the 7-bit slave address (1001A2A1A0). Each DS1631Z+ on the bus must have a unique combination of A0–A2 logic levels to avoid address collisions during communication.
How does the TOUT pin function on DS1631Z+?
The TOUT pin on DS1631Z+ is a push-pull output that asserts based on comparison of measured temperature against user-programmed TH and TL registers. Its active state (high or low) is configurable via the POL bit in the configuration register. TOUT updates after each temperature conversion and maintains its state until the next conversion completes - enabling direct connection to enable inputs, reset lines, or relay drivers.
Can DS1631Z+ operate as a standalone thermostat without a microcontroller?
No - the DS1631Z+ variant does not auto-start conversions at power-up. Unlike the DS1631A, the DS1631Z+ requires a Start Convert T command (0x51) to initiate measurements. However, once configured (TH/TL, POL, 1SHOT), it can provide autonomous TOUT behavior during continuous conversion mode, reducing host MCU polling overhead.
What is the conversion time for DS1631Z+ at 12-bit resolution?
At 12-bit resolution, DS1631Z+ requires a maximum of 750ms per temperature conversion. This value is specified in the datasheet's AC Electrical Characteristics table and scales predictably: 9-bit = 93.75ms, 10-bit = 187.5ms, 11-bit = 375ms. Conversion time doubles with each added bit due to increased ADC oversampling requirements.
