DS2406 Dual Addressable Switch Plus 1 Kbit Memory

Features:
  • Dual open drain PIO read/write channels are remotely controlled over 1-Wire bus

  • Supports Conditional Search with user-programmable condition
  • Low cost TO-92 (Channel A only) or 6-pin TSOC surface mount, or die-size flip chip package

The DS2406 Dual Addressable Switch Plus 1 Kbit Memory is a sensor/actuator chip for control applications. Its two voltage sensors and two output transistors can be dynamically configured for operation as one sensor and one switch, two sensors, or two switches. Both voltage sensors are designed to capture a one-shot, short pulse (such as one generated by a piezo-sensor or momentary contact closure) and set a flag. Devices that have flags set can be singulated under software control providing a quick way to monitor for status changes in a large sensor network.

The flexibility of the DS2406 is enhanced by 1024 bits of user-programmable and write-protectable EPROM memory. This memory's data can be used to describe a physical location, identify the controlled equipment, calibrate the sensor, or reference the actuator to a specific sensor. This allows the bus master to know the exact name and location of a device without referencing a central database.

Because it is dual-channel, the DS2406 can drive bi-directional opto-isolators. One channel lights the LED while the other senses the response. This feature is used to build electrically safe opto-isolated interfaces to control high-power devices such as electric motors, heating or air conditioning systems.

Applications:

  • Automation in homes, laboratories or factories
  • Burglar alarms
  • Irrigation control
  • Greenhouses
  • Vending machines

DS2409 MicroLAN Coupler

Features:
  • Low impedance "high side" switch to create and control multi-level branches (sub-networks) in a 1-Wire Network
  • Common ground-reference with host computer throughout the whole network
  • Supplies energy to inactive branches to maintain device status
  • Provides short-proof access points for iButton probes
  • Smart protocol assists host computer when analyzing network topology and population
  • Supports conditional search for fast event signaling
  • Programmable open drain control output for automatic visualization of branch status or hand-shake purposes
  • Auxiliary 1-Wire output for 1-Wire memory chip or as digital input

The DS2409 MicroLAN Coupler is an essential component to build and control 1-Wire networks with multi-level branching. In contrast to approaches that switch the ground line, the coupler maintains a common ground level for the whole network and keeps the inactive segments powered. This simplifies supplying central or local power for additional circuitry and prevents loss of status of parasitically powered devices.

Both the main and the auxiliary 1-Wire output are supported by a "smart-on" command which generates a reset/presence sequence on the selected output before the electronic switch connects it to the active section of the network. This enables the host computer to send a ROM function command to the devices on the just activated segment with all other devices in the network remaining deselected, speeding up the analysis of topology and population of the network.

The coupler also supports the bus master in detecting arrivals on the inactive segments of the network by responding to the conditional search command. The control output can be used to optically signal the on/off state of a branch by means of an LED or, together with the auxiliary output, for handshaking in dual-master applications.

The network size can be maximized by using a DS2480B Serial 1-Wire Line Driver at the host computer's serial interface. The DS2480B compensates for the rising ground level caused by the non-zero on-resistance of couplers in multi-level networks.

Applications:

  • Short-proof access and inventory control systems
  • Load reduction in large 1-Wire networks
  • Providing physical location data in 1-Wire networks, equipment or card racks
  • 1-Wire networks for dual-host operation
  • Dual-port buffer for host to host communication via 1-Wire bus

  • 6-pin TSOC or die-size flip chip package
  • Reads, writes and counts over a wide voltage range of 2.8V to 5.5V from -40°C to +85°C

The DS2423 1-Wire RAM with Counters is a fully static, read/write memory for battery operation organized as sixteen pages of 256 bits each. In addition, the device has four counters, two of them with external trigger inputs. Each of the counters is associated with a memory page. A counter without external trigger input increments each time data is written to the page it is associated with (Write Cycle Counter). The counters triggered by inputs A and B, respectively, increment with every low-going pulse on their input. All counters are read-only. They are automatically cleared to zero when the battery is connected. The battery-backed memory offers a simple solution to storing and retrieving information pertaining to the equipment where the DS2423 is installed.

A 64-bit registration number is factory lasered into each DS2423 to provide a guaranteed unique identity which allows for absolute traceability and acts as node address if multiple DS2423 are connected in a 1-Wire Network. Data is transferred serially via the 1-Wire protocol which requires only a single data line and a ground return.

The DS2423 can store encrypted data. The unique registration number and the page write cycle counter(s) prevent unauthorized manipulation of data stored in a page with a write cycle counter associated.

Applications:

  • Event monitoring/counting with remote access
  • Utility meters
  • Flow meters
  • Traffic counters

  • 6-pin TSOC, CSP

The DS9502 and DS9503 ESD Protection Diodes are designed as ESD protection devices for 1-Wire interfaces. Incorporating one of these devices into the 1-Wire interface design will produce an ESD protection level of >25kV. The DS9503 incorporates two 5-ohm isolation resistors on chip for additional protection in the case of an ESD event. During normal operation the devices behave like 7.5V Zener diodes. When the applied voltage exceeds the trigger voltage, the I/V characteristic of the devices will "snapback" allowing the same or higher amount of current to flow, but at a significantly lower voltage. As long as a minimum current or voltage is maintained, the device will stay in the "snapback mode." If the voltage or the current falls below the holding voltage or holding current, the device will abruptly change to its normal mode and conduct only a small leakage current.

Applications

  • Handhelds with 1-Wire interfaces
  • Medical products with 1-Wire devices
  • 1-Wire networks
  • PC port adapters
