Most TBolt measure board temperature to about 1/100th C resolution. This
is the correct behavior. Some TBolt report temperatures that seem to
step in 1 C increments, or they report a constant -55 C, or they glitch
once in a while. These are bugs.
You can replace the DS1620 chip if you want. It's perhaps best to locate
the 20-year old version of the chip. There are lots of threads about
this in the archive.
The DS1620, working or not, has no effect on the performance of a
running TBolt. So I've never bothered replacing any of mine. It may have
a slight effect on extended holdover performance. It's a long story and
I'm not sure if anyone has actually verified or quantified this.
Here's additional info about the TBolt & DS1620; it's more complex than
you think:

Hi all,
I am back on time-nuts after many moons.
Lady heather shows constant -55deg C for my Tbolt.
all else seems to function fine (is in a constant T environment, sort of)
Any thoughts....
