Industry's First I2C to 1-Wire Line Drivers
DALLAS, TX-August 11, 2004-Dallas Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: MXIM) introduces the DS2482-X00 I2C(TM)-to 1-Wire(R) interface devices. The DS2482-X00 is our first I2C to 1-Wire line driver with one (DS2482-100) or eight (DS2482-800) channels of independently operated 1-Wire I/O ports. The DS2482-800 provides individual connections for up to eight 1-Wire slaves, which can also be used to identify slave physical location. User-programmable features provide control of 1-Wire waveforms to optimize drive characteristics to the 1-Wire slave configuration. High-level commands and self-timed waveform generation offload 1-Wire protocol control from the host processor. The parts are ideally suited for applications where host operation of 1-Wire slave device(s) from an I2C interface is desired.
The DS2482-X00 devices operate from 2.9V to 5.5V over the extended temperature range (-40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius), and are available in 8- and 16-pin SO packages.
