Product details
Overview
DS1721U+T&R from Maxim Integrated is a 2-wire digital thermometer and thermostat IC with ±1°C accuracy over -10°C to +85°C, 12-bit default resolution (0.0625°C), 750 ms max conversion time, and programmable thermostat output (TOUT) for thermal alarm triggering in microprocessor-based systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1721U+T&R datasheet, DS1721U+T&R pinout, DS1721U+T&R application, or DS1721U+T&R equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8-pin µSOP package, 2.7V–5.5V supply range, 3-bit I²C addressability for multi-drop bus configuration, and configurable 9–12-bit resolution tradeoff between conversion speed and precision.
Technical Context
The DS1721U+T&R integrates a factory-calibrated on-die temperature sensor, 12-bit successive-approximation ADC, and 2-wire (I²C-compatible) serial interface with open-drain SDA/SCL lines. Its internal thermostat comparator continuously monitors temperature against user-programmable TH/TL registers and drives the TOUT pin with configurable polarity.
Configuration is volatile and stored in an 8-bit register controlling conversion mode (one-shot vs. continuous), resolution bits (R1/R0), TOUT polarity (POL), and DONE status. The device supports both standard (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) I²C timing, with all communication MSb-first and two's complement temperature data format.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: SDA | 2-wire serial data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line for I²C data transfer; requires external pull-up resistor. |

| 3: TOUT | Thermostat output signal | Active-low or active-high programmable open-drain alarm output; latched until temperature falls below TL. |
| 4: GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance for measurement stability. |
| 5: A2 | Chip address input | Hardware-selectable bit for I²C slave address (1001xxx); enables multi-drop bus topology. |
| 6: A1 | Chip address input | Second address bit; combined with A0/A2 to define unique 7-bit I²C address (0x48–0x4F). |
| 7: A0 | Chip address input | Least-significant address bit; determines device position in up to 8-node thermal sensor network. |
| 8: VDD | Power supply input | Single-supply rail (2.7–5.5V); powers internal sensor, ADC, comparator, and interface logic. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX31820+ | 1-Wire interface (single data line), 12-bit resolution, ±0.5°C accuracy, no built-in thermostat output. | Requires 1-Wire master; lacks TOUT pin-needs external logic for alarm generation. | Select when board-level wiring simplicity (1-wire vs. 2-wire) outweighs need for integrated thermostat function. |
| LM75BIMM/NOPB | I²C interface, 9-bit resolution (0.5°C), ±2°C accuracy, fixed TH/TL hysteresis, SOIC-8 package. | Lower accuracy and resolution; no programmable TOUT polarity or one-shot mode. | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-precision thermal monitoring where µSOP footprint is not required. |
Compared with MAX31820+ and LM75BIMM/NOPB, DS1721U+T&R uniquely combines I²C compatibility, programmable hysteresis, TOUT polarity control, and 12-bit resolution in a compact µSOP package-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-accuracy thermal alarm systems requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the DS1721U+T&R?
The DS1721U+T&R operates from -55°C to +125°C, with ±1.0°C accuracy specified from -10°C to +85°C at 3.0–5.5V supply. This full-range capability makes DS1721U+T&R suitable for harsh environments including industrial enclosures, automotive under-hood locations, and high-performance computing thermal zones.
Does the DS1721U+T&R require external components for basic temperature measurement?
No, the DS1721U+T&R requires no external components for core operation: its factory-calibrated temperature sensor and ADC are fully integrated. Only pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines are needed for I²C bus operation. No trimming resistors, reference voltages, or external comparators are necessary - DS1721U+T&R functions as a complete "temperature-to-digital" converter.
How does the thermostat output (TOUT) of the DS1721U+T&R behave?
The TOUT pin of DS1721U+T&R is an open-drain output that becomes active when measured temperature exceeds the programmed TH register value, and remains active until temperature falls to or below the TL register value - implementing user-defined hysteresis. Its active state (high or low) is programmable via the POL bit in the configuration register, and DS1721U+T&R powers up with TH=80°C, TL=75°C, and active-high TOUT.
Can multiple DS1721U+T&R devices share the same I²C bus?
Yes, up to eight DS1721U+T&R devices can operate on a single I²C bus using hardware address pins A0, A1, and A2 to set unique 3-bit addresses (1001xxx), resulting in I²C slave addresses 0x48 through 0x4F. This multi-drop capability simplifies distributed thermal sensing in servers, telecom equipment, and industrial control systems without bus arbitration complexity.
What is the conversion time for the DS1721U+T&R at different resolution settings?
DS1721U+T&R conversion time scales with resolution: 93.75 ms (9-bit), 187.5 ms (10-bit), 375 ms (11-bit), and 750 ms (12-bit). The device powers up in 12-bit continuous mode but allows dynamic reconfiguration via the configuration register - enabling DS1721U+T&R to balance speed and precision based on real-time thermal dynamics in applications like fan control or battery safety monitoring.
