DS18B20

A very popular digital thermometer, temperature monitoring with 2-wire or 3-wire Connections.

Wiring

Normal Power Mode

3-wire connection of normal power mode

P35 -> DQ
GND -> GND
5V/3.3V -> VDD

Parasite Power Mode:

In parasite power mode, it's a 2-wire connection. It requires both DS18B20 GND and Vdd to be connected to ground. The DQ pin is the data/parasite power line, which requires a pull-up resistor (set by PxPU command).

It has to be noted that not all DS18B20 you bought online works in parasite mode. There are cheap units that output 0 only in parasite mode, in this case you need some modifications to make it work.

P35 -> DQ
GND -> GND -> VDD
5V

Parasite Power Mode Emulation:

In case some DS18B20 doesn't work in parasite mode, you can add one 0.1uF capacitor and one 1N4148 to achieve 2-wire connection. In thise way DS18B20 actually works in normal power mode
