STACKED CONFIGURATION Figure 3
CASCADE OPERATION
A feature of the DS1868 is the ability to control multiple devices from a single processor. Multiple
DS1868s can be linked or daisy chained as shown in Figure 4. As a data bit is entered into the I/O shift
register of the DS1868 a bit will appear at the C
stack select bit of the DS1868 will always be the first out the part at the beginning of a transaction. The

daisy chain.
An optional feedback resistor can be placed between the C
DS1868 DQ, input thus allowing the controlling processor to read, as well as, write data, or circularly
clock data through the daisy chain. The value of the feedback or isolation resistor should be in the range
from 2 to 10 kohms.

first position of the I/O shift register and bit 16 becomes present on C
