Abstract: This application note introduces the user to software for interfacing a DS5000 (8051 compatible) microcontroller to the DS1631 temperature sensor. The DS1631 incorporates a standard 2-wire serial digital interface. Software code is provided that can be used to provide all types of functional access to the DS1631 including reading the temperature register, writing the thermostat thresholds, and setting the device configuration.

Introduction

The DS1631 is a digital thermometer that provides 9, 10, 11, or 12-bit temperature readings over a -55°C to +125°C range, and has ±0.5°C accuracy from 0°C to +70°C with 3.0V ≤ VDD ≤ 5.5V. The DS1631 also provides thermostatic functionality with user-defined trip points (TH and TL). Three address pins allow up to eight DS1631s to function on the same bus.

Communication with the DS1631 is achieved via a 2-wire serial interface. This application note presents 'C' source code that allows a PC to communicate with the DS1631 via an 8051-compatible DS5000 microcontroller. Detailed specifications and operating instructions for the DS1631 can be found in the datasheet.

Hardware Configuration

The DS1631 SDA (serial data) and SCL (serial clock) pins can be connected directly to the I/O port on the DS5000 microcontroller. The DS1631 SDA pin is an open drain I/O, so the SDA line must be pulled high by a pullup resistor. Since the DS5000 microcontroller clock output is also open-drain, a pull up resistor is also required on the SCL line. Figure 1 shows a circuit diagram with two DS1631s (addresses 1001000 and 1001001) connected to the bus.

The DS5000 configuration is provided in the header file in Appendix B. Note that the DS5000 is run at a frequency of 11.05949MHz. A DS232A is used to handle the PC to microcontroller interface. As shown in Appendix B, the 2-wire connection is made via the I/O port P0 of the DS5000. I/O port P1 or P2 can be used to report status or to power a peripheral reporting device such as an LCD.

Software Communication with the DS1631

The following sections contain DS1631 'C' source code examples. Appendix A provides a complete C program listing for testing the hardware and communicating with the DS1631. Additional software development tools can be downloaded from the Dallas Semiconductor FTP site.

START and STOP Condition

START and STOP conditions are used by the microcontroller to signal the beginning and end, respectively, of a 2-wire communication sequence. To produce a START condition, the SDA line is pulled from high to low while SCL is high, and for a STOP condition SDA transitions low to high while SCL is high. Figure 2a shows sample 'C' code for generating a START condition and Figure 2b shows sample code for generating a STOP condition.

Figure 2b. STOP Example.

Writing to the DS1631

The master has write access to the 1-byte configuration register and the 2-byte TH and TL registers. Therefore, when writing to the configuration register, the master must send one byte of data, and when writing to the TH or TL registers the master must send two bytes of data. Figure 3 shows example 'C' code for writing to the configuration register. The SendAddr routine causes a START condition to be generated followed by a control byte that contains the DS1631 address and has the Read/Write bit set for "write". Next the SendByte routine is used to issue an Access Config command (ACh). This is followed by the data byte being written to the configuration register. The sequence is completed with a STOP condition.


Figure 3. Code example for writing to the DS1631.

Reading from the DS1631

The master can read data from the 1-byte configuration register and the 2-byte temperature, TH and TL registers. Figure 4 shows example 'C' code for reading the configuration register. The SendAddr routine generates a START followed by a control byte with the Read/Write bit set for "write". Next the Access Config command (ACh) is sent. This is followed by another START plus a control byte, but this time the Read/Write bit is set to "read". The I2CGetByte(1) routine reads and saves the 1-byte configuration register. The "1" that is passed to the routine indicates that this byte is the last (and in the case the only) byte being read. This is necessary so that a NACK instead of an ACK is sent to the DS1631 after the byte is received. For 2-byte reads, a "0" is passed to the I2CGetByte subroutine after the first byte and a "1" is sent after the second byte. The sequence is completed with a STOP condition.


Figure 4. Code example for reading from the DS1631.

Calculating the Temperature

After each temperature conversion, the DS1631 stores the digital temperature as a 16-bit two’s complement number in the 2-byte temperature register. Figure 5 shows example 'C' code for initiating a temperature conversion and then reading the temperature register and calculating decimal Centigrade and Fahrenheit values from the digital value. To initiate a temperature conversion, a START is sent followed by a control byte with the Read/Write bit set for "write". Next a Start Convert T command (51h) is sent followed by a STOP condition. To read the temperature register, a START is sent followed by a control byte with the Read/Write bit set for "write". Next the Read Temperature command (AAh) is sent followed by another START plus a control byte with the Read/Write bit is set to "read". I2CGetByte(0) reads the temperature MSB and sends an ACK to the DS1631. I2CGetByte(1) then reads the temperature LSB and sends a NACK to the DS1631. The communication sequence is completed with a STOP condition. The final code segment converts the 2-byte digital reading to decimal values.
