Product details
Overview
DS1731U+T&R from Maxim Integrated is a high-precision digital thermometer and thermostat IC with ±1°C accuracy from -10°C to +85°C, 9–12-bit user-selectable resolution, and integrated nonvolatile TH/TL trip-point registers. It operates over -55°C to +125°C and communicates via I²C-compatible 2-wire bus, serving as a self-contained thermal monitoring solution in space-constrained embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1731U+T&R datasheet, DS1731U+T&R pinout, DS1731U+T&R application, or DS1731U+T&R equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, confirmed pin functions, real-world thermal management use cases, and validated alternative options for industrial temperature sensing and thermostat control.
Technical Context
The DS1731U+T&R implements a bandgap-based temperature sensor with a delta-sigma ADC, delivering calibrated digital output in °C across its full operating range. Its thermostat logic compares each conversion result against user-programmed TH and TL thresholds stored in NV EEPROM, updating the push-pull TOUT pin accordingly.
It supports multidrop I²C operation (up to 8 devices) using address pins A0–A2, and features configurable conversion modes (one-shot or continuous), programmable TOUT polarity, and software power-on reset. All configuration bits except POL and 1SHOT are volatile SRAM; only TH, TL, POL, and 1SHOT persist through power cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Temperature Accuracy | ±1°C over -10°C to +85°C at 3.0–5.5V - defines worst-case error bound for thermal alarm triggering in commercial environments. |
| Operating Range | -55°C to +125°C - enables deployment in harsh industrial or automotive under-hood locations without external compensation. |
| Resolution | User-selectable 9–12 bits (0.5°C to 0.0625°C step) - allows trade-off between measurement granularity and conversion time (93.75ms to 750ms). |
| I²C Interface | Standard-mode (400kHz max), open-drain SDA, push-pull TOUT - compatible with legacy microcontrollers without level-shifting or external pull-up tuning. |
| Nonvolatile Storage | TH/TL registers + POL/1SHOT bits in EEPROM (50k writes, 10-year retention) - permits pre-programming before soldering into final assembly. |
| Supply Current | 1mA active (temp conversion), 800nA standby - supports battery-powered portable products with multi-year runtime in low-duty-cycle monitoring. |
| Package | 8-pin µSOP (DS1731U+) - 3mm × 3mm footprint ideal for dense PCB layouts in routers, base stations, and handheld devices. |
Pinout & Package
DS1731U+T&R is housed in an 8-pin µSOP package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch), optimized for automated surface-mount assembly and thermal performance in compact enclosures.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: SDA | Data I/O for 2-wire serial interface | Open-drain bidirectional line requiring external pull-up; supports shared bus with up to 7 other DS1631/DS1631A/DS1731 devices. |
| 2: SCL | Clock input for 2-wire serial interface | CMOS-compatible input; master-generated clock synchronizes all read/write operations including TH/TL register access. |
| 3: TOUT | Thermostat output signal | Push-pull digital output reflecting current comparison status vs. TH/TL; polarity programmable via CONFIG register bit POL. |
| 4: GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Single ground connection required; no separate AGND/DGND - simplifies layout in mixed-signal applications. |
| 5: A2 | Device address bit MSB | Logic-level input (0 or VDD) sets bit A2 of 7-bit slave address (1001 A2 A1 A0), enabling unique addressing on shared I²C bus. |
| 6: A1 | Device address bit middle | Logic-level input sets bit A1; combined with A0/A2, allows up to eight uniquely addressed DS1731U+T&R units per bus segment. |
| 7: A0 | Device address bit LSB | Logic-level input sets bit A0; address pins are sampled at power-up and retained until next POR or reset. |
| 8: VDD | Power supply input | 2.7V–5.5V single supply powers analog sensor, ADC, EEPROM, and digital logic - eliminates need for voltage regulators in 3.3V or 5V systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable thermostat with custom hysteresis | TH and TL trip points stored in NV EEPROM allow field-configurable thermal shutdown/restart behavior without firmware updates. |
| Self-contained operation mode | Unlike DS1631/DS1631A, DS1731 does not auto-start conversions at power-up - requires explicit Start Convert T command, ensuring deterministic initialization in safety-critical systems. |
| Two-wire (I²C) multidrop capability | Supports up to eight devices on one bus using hardware address pins - reduces MCU GPIO count and simplifies thermal monitoring across multiple PCB zones. |
| Temperature high/low flag tracking | THF and TLF bits in CONFIG register record historical excursions beyond TH/TL - enables post-event diagnostics without continuous polling. |
| Software power-on reset (POR) | 54h command resets all registers and stops conversions - provides safe recovery path during firmware hangs or communication errors. |
Applications
| Network Equipment Thermal Monitoring | Industrial Motor Control Cabinet Sensing |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary thermal watchdog feeding interrupt to PMIC; TOUT asserts if internal SoC sensor fails or drifts. Use Value: -55°C to +125°C operating range exceeds AEC-Q100 Grade 3 requirements; EEPROM retention ensures alarm thresholds survive vehicle battery disconnect. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1631U+ | ±0.5°C accuracy (0°C to +70°C); auto-starts conversions at power-up; same µSOP package and pinout. | Better accuracy in commercial temperature range; unsuitable where deterministic startup timing is required. | Select DS1631U+ when higher precision in office/server environments justifies tighter spec; verify power-up behavior aligns with system boot sequence. |
| LM75BIMM/NOPB | ±2°C accuracy (−25°C to +100°C); no NV TH/TL storage; 8-pin VSSOP; I²C-compatible but lacks TOUT push-pull output. | Lacks standalone thermostat functionality; requires host MCU to poll and assert external control signals. | Choose LM75BIMM/NOPB for cost-sensitive, non-critical monitoring where EEPROM persistence and direct TOUT drive are unnecessary. |
Compared with DS1731U+T&R, DS1631U+ offers superior accuracy but less predictable initialization, while LM75BIMM/NOPB reduces BOM cost at the expense of autonomous thermal response and long-term threshold retention.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed temperature accuracy specification for DS1731U+T&R?
The DS1731U+T&R guarantees ±1°C accuracy over the -10°C to +85°C range when powered at 3.0V to 5.5V. Outside this range - from -55°C to -10°C or +85°C to +125°C - the maximum error increases to ±2°C. This specification is measured under standard test conditions and reflects worst-case deviation from true temperature, not typical performance.
Does DS1731U+T&R automatically begin temperature conversions at power-up?
No, DS1731U+T&R does not auto-start conversions at power-up. Unlike the DS1631A, it remains in low-power idle state until explicitly commanded via the Start Convert T (0x51) instruction. This behavior ensures deterministic initialization and prevents unintended TOUT assertion during system boot sequences.
Can DS1731U+T&R operate on a shared I²C bus with other devices?
Yes, DS1731U+T&R supports true multidrop I²C operation. Its 7-bit slave address (1001 A2 A1 A0) is configured by hardware pins A0–A2, allowing up to eight DS1731U+T&R units - or combinations with DS1631/DS1631A - on a single 2-wire bus without address conflict or arbitration issues.
How is thermostat hysteresis implemented in DS1731U+T&R?
Hysteresis in DS1731U+T&R is implemented by independently programming upper (TH) and lower (TL) trip-point registers stored in NV EEPROM. The TOUT pin transitions high when temperature ≥ TH and remains high until temperature falls below TL - creating user-defined hysteresis width without external components or firmware intervention.
What package type and dimensions does DS1731U+T&R use?
DS1731U+T&R uses an 8-pin µSOP package (3mm × 3mm body, 0.5mm lead pitch). This compact surface-mount outline meets JEDEC MO-187 standards and is compatible with standard reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to +220°C per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020A.
