DESCRIPTION
The DS2480 is a serial port to 1–Wire interface chip that
supports standard and Overdrive speeds. It connects
directlytoUARTsand5VRS232systems. Interfacingto
RS232C (± 12V levels) requires a passive clamping cir-
cuit and one 5V to ± 12V level translator. Internal timers
relieve the host of the burden of generating the time–
critical 1–Wire communication waveforms. In contrast
to the DS9097(E) where a full character must be sent by
the host for each 1–Wire time slot, the DS2480 can
translate each character into eight 1–Wire time slots
thereby increasing the data throughput significantly. In
addition, the DS2480 can be set to communicate at four
different data rates including 115.2 kbps, 57.6 kbps and
19.2 kbps with 9.6 kbps being the power–on default.
Command codes received from the host’s crystal con-
trolled UART serve as a reference to continuously cali-
bratetheon–chiptiminggenerator. The DS2480 uses a
unique protocol that merges data and control informa-
tion without requiring control pins. This approach main-
tains compatibility to off–the–shelf serial to wireless
converters allowing easy realization of 1–Wire media
jumpers. The various control functions of the DS2480
are optimized for MicroLAN 1–Wire networks and sup-
port the special needs of all current 1–Wire devices
includingthe Crypto iButton, EPROM–basedAdd–Only
Memories, EEPROM devices and 1–Wire Thermome-
ters.
