Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this DS18B20 sensor?

The sensor operates from 3.0V to 5.5V DC, making it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic systems like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32. Ensure your power supply is within this range for accurate digital communication and proper sensor function.

How do I connect multiple DS18B20 sensors to a single microcontroller pin?

Multiple DS18B20 sensors can share the same 1-Wire data bus because each has a unique 64-bit ROM address. Connect all sensor VCC pins to a 3-5V supply, all GND pins to ground, and all data lines together to a single microcontroller digital pin with a 4.7kΩ pull-up resistor to VCC. Your code must then address each sensor by its unique ID.

Is this sensor truly waterproof, and can it be submerged?

Yes, the stainless steel probe provides a hermetic seal, offering a high degree of waterproofing suitable for submersion in liquids, burial in soil, or use in high-humidity environments. It is designed for applications like aquarium monitoring, outdoor weather stations, and liquid temperature measurement.

What is the temperature resolution, and how do I change it?

The DS18B20 offers user-selectable resolution from 9 to 12 bits, corresponding to temperature increments of 0.5°C, 0.25°C, 0.125°C, and 0.0625°C, respectively. You change the resolution by sending specific configuration commands via the 1-Wire protocol in your microcontroller code, trading off higher precision for longer conversion times.
