is issued the master must enable a strong pullup on the 1-wire bus for at least 10 ms as described in the 
POWERING THE DS18B20X section. 
RECALL E
2
[B8h]
This command recalls the alarm trigger values (T
H
and T
L
) and configuration data from EEPROM and
places the data in bytes 2, 3, and 4, respectively, in the scratchpad memory. The master device can issue 
read time slots following the Recall E
2
command and the DS18B20X will indicate the status of the recall
by transmitting 0 while the recall is in progress and 1 when the recall is done. The recall operation 
happens automatically at power-up, so valid data is available in the scratchpad as soon as power is 
applied to the device. 
READ POWER SUPPLY [B4h] 
The master device issues this command followed by a read time slot to determine if any DS18B20Xs on 
the bus are using parasite power. During the read time slot, parasite powered DS18B20Xs will pull the 
bus low, and externally powered DS18B20Xs will let the bus remain high. Refer to the POWERING 
THE DS18B20X section for usage information for this command.

Read Power 
Supply 
Signals DS18B20X power

B4h
DS18B20X transmits supply 
status to master. 
NOTES:
1. For parasite-powered DS18B20Xs, the master must enable a strong pullup on the 1-wire bus during
temperature conversions and copies from the scratchpad to EEPROM. No other bus activity may take 
place during this time. 
2. The master can interrupt the transmission of data at any time by issuing a reset. 
3. All three bytes must be written before a reset is issued.
