1-Wire—Industry's Most Efficient Solution for Printer Cartridge
Authentication and Usage Monitoring
Spare connector pins between the host system and accessory are typically limited. Consequently, it is a genuine challenge to add authentication and usage monitoring without increasing connector complexity and cost. The 1-Wire® product line not only solves all these host/accessory connectivity requirements, but also enables implementation with only a single, dedicated connector contact.
Unique SFN packaging allows the 1-Wire device to attach easily to nonelectronic peripherals like printer consumables. The SFN package is based on the industry-standard DFN/QFN, and can be mounted with snap-fit or adhesive into a recessed area. The 1-Wire authentication and monitoring features are thus accomplished with a single, dedicated connector contact, which reduces connector complexity and cost.
New SFN packaging simplifies adding 1-Wire ICs to nonelectronic peripherals.
