>Do you know the part number of a chip to replace the DS1620? The part number is the same, DS1620. What is important is the revision of the DS1620. When Dallas Semiconductor/Maxim 'improved' the chip and went from REV-D (or D2) to REV-E they made a change in the way the data was sent to the outside world. Lady Heather displays the temperature from REV-E chips in distinct step instead of a smooth curve.
I have used REV-C2 chips as replacement and they work just fine. Note the chip revision has little or nothing to do with the Trimble REV letter on the outside of the Thunderbolt case, the latest Thunderbolt revision from 2005 just happens to be a REV-E. -Arthur _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
