DETAILED PIN DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
The DS2480 directly interfaces a 5V serial communica-
tion port with its lines TXD (transmit) and RXD (receive)
to a 1–Wire bus. In addition the device performs a speed
conversion allowing the data rate at the communication
port to be different from the 1–Wire date rate. Several
parameters relating to the 1–Wire port and its timing as
well as the communication speed at both the port and
the 1–Wire bus are configurable. The circuit to achieve
these functions is outlined in Figure 1, Block Diagram.
The device gets its input data from the serial commu-
nication port of the host computer through pin TXD. For
compatibility with active–high as well as active–low sys-
tems, the incoming signal can be inverted by means of
the polarity input POL. The polarity chosen by hard–wir-
ing the logic level of this pin is also valid for the output pin
RXD. If for minimizing the interface hardware an asym-
metry between RXD and TXD is desired, this can be
achieved by setting the most significant bit of the Speed
Control parameter to a 1 (see Configuration Parameter
Value Codes). With the MS bit of the speed control set to
1, the polarity at TXD is still selected by the logic level at

the logic level at POL specifies.
As data enters the core of the DS2480’s logic circuitry, it
is analyzed to separate data and command bytes and to
calibrate the device’s timing generator. The timing gen-
erator controls all speed relations of the communication
interface and the 1–Wire bus as well as the wave forms
on the 1–Wire bus.
Command bytes either affect the configuration setting
or generate certain wave forms on the 1–Wire bus. Data
bytes are simply translated by the protocol converter
into the appropriate 1–Wire activities. Each data byte
generates a return byte from the 1–Wire bus, that is
communicated back to the host through the RXD pin as
soon as the activity on the 1–Wire bus is completed.
The 1–Wire driver shapes the slopes of the 1–Wire
wave forms, applies programming pulses or strong
pull–up to 5 volts and reads the 1–Wire bus using a non–
TTL threshold to maximize the noise margin for best
performance on large 1–Wire MicroLAN networks.
