Be aware: When testing, it showed that the status of Tout can change with neither of the alarms set. -Temperature conversion of the DS1621 takes up to 1000ms; internal access to -non-volatile registers may last for 10ms or below. +Since there is no version or vendor identification register, there is +no unique identification for these devices. Therefore, explicit device +instantiation is required for correct device identification and functionality +(one device per address in this address range: 0x48..0x4f). + +The DS1625 is pin compatible and functionally equivalent with the DS1621, +but the DS1621 is meant to replace it. The DS1631, DS1721, and DS1731 are +also pin compatible with the DS1621 and provide multi-resolution support. + +Additionally, the DS1721 data sheet says the temperature flags (THF and TLF) +are used internally, however, these flags do get set and cleared as the actual +temperature crosses the min or max settings (which by default are set to 75 +and 80 degrees respectively). + +Temperature Conversion: +----------------------- +DS1621 - 750ms (older devices may take up to 1000ms) +DS1625 - 500ms +DS1631 - 93ms..750ms for 9..12 bits resolution, respectively. +DS1721 - 93ms..750ms for 9..12 bits resolution, respectively. +DS1731 - 93ms..750ms for 9..12 bits resolution, respectively. + +Note: +On the DS1621, internal access to non-volatile registers may last for 10ms +or less (unverified on the other devices). + +Temperature Accuracy: +--------------------- +DS1621: +/- 0.5 degree Celsius (from 0 to +70 degrees) +DS1625: +/- 0.5 degree Celsius (from 0 to +70 degrees) +DS1631: +/- 0.5 degree Celsius (from 0 to +70 degrees) +DS1721: +/- 1.0 degree Celsius (from -10 to +85 degrees) +DS1731: +/- 1.0 degree Celsius (from -10 to +85 degrees) + +Note: +Please refer to the device datasheets for accuracy at other temperatures. + +Temperature Resolution: +----------------------- +As mentioned above, the DS1631, DS1721, and DS1731 provide multi-resolution +support, which is achieved via the R0 and R1 config register bits, where: + +R0..R1 +------ + 0 0 => 9 bits, 0.5 degrees Celcius + 1 0 => 10 bits, 0.25 degrees Celcius + 0 1 => 11 bits, 0.125 degrees Celcius + 1 1 => 12 bits, 0.0625 degrees Celcius + +Note: +At initial device power-on, the default resolution is set to 12-bits. + +The resolution mode for the DS1631, DS1721, or DS1731 can be changed from +userspace, via the device 'update_interval' sysfs attribute.
