-The DS1721 is pin compatible with the DS1621, has an accuracy of +/- 1.0

+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 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.
