-Temperature conversion of the DS1621 takes up to 1000ms; internal access to
-non-volatile registers may last for 10ms or below.
-
-The DS1625 is pin compatible and functionally equivalent with the DS1621,
-but the DS1621 is meant to replace it. The DS1631, DS1721, & DS1731 are also
-pin compatible with the DS1621, but provide multi-resolution support.

 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.

-And, for correct identification and operation, each device must be

-The DS1721 is pin compatible with the DS1621, has an accuracy of +/- 1.0
-degree Celius (from -10 to +85 degrees), a minimum/maximum alarm default
-setting of 75 and 80 degrees respectively, 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
-get set and cleared as the actual temperature crosses the min or max settings.

-The DS1631 and DS1731 are pin compatible with the DS1621 and feature compatible
-with the DS1721. However, the DS1631 accuracy is +/- 0.5 degree Celius (from 0

-+85 degrees).

+DS1621 - 750ms (older devices may take up to 1000ms)
+DS1625 - 500ms
+DS1631 - 93ms..750ms for 9..12 bits resolution, respectively.
+DS1721 - 93ms..750ms for 9..12 bits resolution, respectively.
+DS1731 - 93ms..750ms for 9..12 bits resolution, respectively.

+Note:
+On the DS1621, internal access to non-volatile registers may last for 10ms

+Temperature Accuracy:
+---------------------
+DS1621: +/- 0.5 degree Celius (from 0 to +70 degrees)
+DS1625: +/- 0.5 degree Celius (from 0 to +70 degrees)
+DS1631: +/- 0.5 degree Celius (from 0 to +70 degrees)
+DS1721: +/- 1.0 degree Celius (from -10 to +85 degrees)
+DS1731: +/- 1.0 degree Celius (from -10 to +85 degrees)
+
+Note:
+Please refer to the device datasheets for accuracy at other temperatures.
+
+Temperature Resolution:
+-----------------------
+As mentioned above, the DS1631, DS1721, & 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.

 userspace, via the device 'update_interval' sysfs attribute. This attribute
