DESCRIPTION
The DS2480B is a serial port to 1-Wire interface chip that supports standard 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
into eight 1-Wire time slots, thereby increasing the data throughput significantly. In addition, the
DS2480B can be set to communicate at four different data rates, including 115.2kbps, 57.6kbps, and
19.2kbps, with 9.6kbps being the power-on default. Command codes received from the host’s crystal
controlled UART serve as a reference to continuously calibrate the on-chip timing generator. The
