FEATURES
PIN ASSIGNMENT
§ Universal, common-ground serial port to 1-
WireÔ line driver for MicroLAN applications
§ Works with all iButtons and MicroLAN-
compatible 1-Wire slave devices
§ Communicates at regular and Overdrive 1-
Wire speed and serial port data rates of 9600
(default), 19200, 57600 and 115200 bps
§ Supports 12V EPROM programming and stiff
5V pullup for crypto iButton, sensors and
EEPROM
§ Load sensor to terminate the stiff pullup as
the energy demand of the crypto iButton
drops
§ Self-calibrating time base with ± 5%
tolerance for serial and 1-Wire

minimizes component count when interfacing
to 5V based RS232 systems or directly to
UARTs
§ Programmable 1-Wire timing and driver
characteristics accommodate a wide range of
MicroLAN configurations at regular speed
§ Smart protocol combines data and control
information without requiring extra pins

ORDERING INFORMATION
DS2480BS
8-pin SOIC
Note: The DS2480B will replace the DS2480
later in 1999. It is fully backward compatible to
software drivers that accept a 0 as well as a 1 for
bit 2 of the Reset-command response byte (see
page 7, Table 2)
§ Low cost 8-pin SOIC surface mount package
§ Operates over 4.5V to 5.5V from -40°C to
+85°C
DESCRIPTION
The DS2480B is a serial port to 1-Wire interface chip that supports regular and Overdrive speeds. It con-
nects directly to UARTs and 5V RS232 systems. Interfacing to RS232C (± 12V levels) requires a passive
clamping circuit 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 DS2480B can translate each character
