-non-volatile registers may last for 10ms or below.

-The DS1625 is pin compatible and functionally equivalent with the DS1621,

 Since there is no version or vendor identification register, there is
 no unique identification for these devices. Therefore, explicit device
-instantiation is required for correct device identification and functionality.

-The DS1721 is pin compatible with the DS1621, has an accuracy of +/- 1.0
-degree Celsius (from -10 to +85 degrees), a minimum/maximum alarm default
-setting of 75 and 80 degrees, and a maximum conversion time of 750ms.
-
-In addition, the DS1721 supports four resolution settings from 9 to 12 bits
-(defined in degrees C per LSB: 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, and 0.0625, respectively),
-that are set at device power on to the highest resolution: 12-bits.

-One additional note about the ds1721 is that although the data sheet says
-the temperature flags (THF and TLF) are used internally, these flags do

-The DS1631 and DS1731 are pin compatible with the DS1621 and feature compatible

-+85 degrees).

+DS1625 - 500ms
+DS1631 - 93ms..750ms for 9..12 bits resolution, respectively.

+DS1621: +/- 0.5 degree Celsius (from 0 to +70 degrees)
+DS1625: +/- 0.5 degree Celsius (from 0 to +70 degrees)
+DS1631: +/- 0.5 degree Celsius (from 0 to +70 degrees)

+Temperature Resolution:
+-----------------------
+As mentioned above, the DS1631, DS1721, and DS1731 provide multi-resolution
+support, which is achieved via the R0 and R1 config register bits, where:

+R0..R1
+------
+ 0  0 => 9 bits, 0.5 degrees Celcius
+ 1  0 => 10 bits, 0.25 degrees Celcius
+ 0  1 => 11 bits, 0.125 degrees Celcius
+ 1  1 => 12 bits, 0.0625 degrees Celcius
+
+Note:
+At initial device power-on, the default resolution is set to 12-bits.
