DESCRIPTION

The DS2404 EconoRAM Time Chip offers a simple solution for storing and retrieving vital data and time

information with minimal hardware. The DS2404 contains a unique lasered ROM, real-time

clock/calendar, interval timer, cycle counter, programmable interrupts and 4096-bits of SRAM. Two

separate ports are provided for communication, 1-Wire and 3-wire. Using the 1-Wire port, only one pin is

required for communication, and the lasered ROM can be read even when the DS2404 is without power.

The 3-wire port provides high speed communication using the traditional Dallas Semiconductor 3-wire

interface. With either interface, a strict protocol for accessing the DS2404 ensures data integrity. Utilizing

backup energy sources, the data is nonvolatile and allows for stand-alone operation.

The DS2404 features can be used to create a stopwatch, alarm clock, time and date stamp, logbook, hour

meter, calendar, system power cycle timer, expiration timer, and event scheduler.

OVERVIEW

The DS2404 has four main data components: 1) 64-bit lasered ROM, 2) 256-bit scratchpad, 3) 4096-bit

SRAM, and 4) timekeeping registers. The timekeeping section utilizes an on-chip oscillator that is

connected to an external 32.768 kHz crystal. The SRAM and timekeeping registers reside in one

contiguous address space referred to hereafter as memory. All data is read and written least significant bit

first.

Two communication ports are provided, a 1-Wire port and a 3-wire port. A port selector determines

which of the two ports is being used. The communication ports and the ROM are parasite-powered via

I/O, RST , or VCC . This allows the ROM to be read in the absence of power. The ROM data is accessible

only through the 1-Wire port. The scratchpad and memory are accessible via either port.

If the 3-wire port is used, the master provides one of four memory function commands: 1) read memory,

2) read scratchpad, 3) write scratchpad, or 4) copy scratchpad. The only way to write memory is to first

write the scratchpad and then copy the scratchpad data to memory. (See Figure 6.)

If the 1-Wire port is used, the memory functions will not be available until the ROM function protocol

has been established. This protocol is described in the ROM functions flow chart (Figure 9). The master

must first provide one of five ROM function commands: 1) read ROM, 2) match ROM, 3) search ROM,

4) skip ROM or 5) search interrupt. After a ROM function sequence has been successfully executed, the

memory functions are accessible and the master may then provide any one of the four memory function

commands (Figure 6.)

The “Power Control” section provides for two basic power configurations, battery operate mode and VCC

operate mode. The battery operate mode utilizes one supply connected to VBATO . The VCC operate mode

may utilize two supplies; the primary supply connects to VCC and a backup supply connects to VBATB .

DS2404 BLOCK DIAGRAM Figure 1

COMMUNICATION PORTS

Two communication ports are provided, a 1-Wire and a 3-wire port. The advantages of using the 1-Wire

port are as follows: 1) provides access to the 64-bit lasered ROM, 2) consists of a single communication

signal (I/O), and 3) multiple devices may be connected to the 1-Wire bus. The 1-Wire bus has a

maximum data rate of 16.3k bits/second and requires one 5kΩ external pullup.

The 3-wire port consists of three signals, RST , CLK, and DQ. RST is an enable input, DQ is bidirectional

serial data, and the CLK input is used to clock in or out the serial data. The advantages of using the 3-

wire port are 1) high data transfer rate (2 MHz), 2) simple timing, and 3) no external pullup required.

Port selection is accomplished on a first-come, first-serve basis. Whichever port comes out of reset first

will obtain control. For the 3-wire port, this is done by bringing RST high. For the 1-Wire port, this is

done on the first falling edge of I/O after the reset and presence pulses. (See “1-Wire Signaling” section.)

More information on how to arbitrate port access is found in section “Device Operation Modes” later in

this document.

PARASITE POWER

The block diagram (Figure 1) shows the parasite-powered circuitry. This circuitry “steals” power

whenever the I/O, RST , or VCC pins are high. When using the 1-Wire port in battery operate mode,

RST and VCC provide no power since they are low. However, I/O will provide sufficient power as long as

the specified timing and voltage requirements are met. The advantages of parasite power are two-fold: 1)

by parasiting off these pins, battery power is conserved and 2) the ROM may be read in absence of

normal power. For instance, in battery-operate mode, if the battery fails, the ROM may still be read

normally.

In battery-backed mode, if VCC fails, the port switches in the battery but inhibits communication. The

ROM may still be read normally over the 1-Wire port if RST is low.

64-BIT LASERED ROM

Each DS2404 contains a unique ROM code that is 64 bits long. The first eight bits are a 1-Wire family

code (DS2404 code is 04h). The next 48 bits are a unique serial number. The last eight bits are a CRC of

the first 56 bits. (See Figure 2.)

The 1-Wire CRC is generated using a polynomial generator consisting of a shift register and XOR gates

as shown in Figure 3. The polynomial is X8 + X5 + X4 + 1. Additional information about the Dallas 1-

Wire Cyclic Redundancy Check is available in Application Note 27, “Understanding and Using Cyclic

Redundancy Checks with Dallas Semiconductor iButton Products”.

The shift register bits are initialized to zero. Then starting with the least significant bit of the family code,

one bit at a time is shifted in. After the 8th bit of the family code has been entered, then the serial number

is entered. After the 48th bit of the serial number has been entered, the shift register contains the CRC

value. Shifting in the eight bits of CRC should return the shift register to all zeros.

MEMORY MAP Figure 4

MEMORY

The memory map in Figure 4 shows a page (32 bytes) called the scratchpad and 17 pages called memory.

Pages 0 through 15 each contain 32 bytes which make up the 4096-bit SRAM. Page 16 has only 30 bytes

which contain the timekeeping registers.

The scratchpad is an additional page of memory that acts as a buffer when writing to memory. Data is

first written to the scratchpad where it can be read back. After the data has been verified, a copy

scratchpad command will transfer the data to memory. This process ensures data integrity when

modifying the memory.

TIMEKEEPING

A 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator is used as the time base for the timekeeping functions. The oscillator can

be turned on or off by an enable bit in the control register. The oscillator must be on for the real time

clock, interval timer, cycle counter and 1 Hz output to function.

The timekeeping functions are double buffered. This feature allows the master to read time or count

without the data changing while it is being read. To accomplish this, a snapshot of the counter data is

transferred to holding registers which the user accesses. This occurs after the eighth bit of the Read

Memory Function command.

Real-Time Clock

The real-time clock is a 5-byte binary counter. It is incremented 256 times per second. The least

significant byte is a count of fractional seconds. The upper four bytes are a count of seconds. The real-

time clock can accumulate 136 years of seconds before rolling over. Time/date is represented by the

number of seconds since a reference point which is determined by the user. For example, 12:00A.M.,

January 1, 1970 could be a reference point.

Interval Timer

The interval timer is a 5-byte binary counter. When enabled, it is incremented 256 times per second. The

least significant byte is a count of fractional seconds. The interval timer can accumulate 136 years of

seconds before rolling over. The interval timer has two modes of operation which are selected by the

MANAUTO/ bit in the control register. In the auto mode, the interval timer will begin counting after the

I/O line has been high for a period of time determined by the DSEL bit in the control register. Similarly,

the interval timer will stop counting after the I/O line has been low for a period of time determined by the

DSEL bit. In the manual mode, time accumulation is controlled by the STARTSTOP/ bit in the control

NOTE: For auto mode operation, the high level on the I/O pin must be greater than or equal to 70% of

VCC or VBATO .

Cycle Counter

The cycle counter is a 4-byte binary counter. It increments after the falling edge of the I/O line if the

appropriate I/O line timing has been met. This timing is selected by the DSEL bit in the control register.

(See “Status/ Control” section).

NOTE: For cycle counter operation, the high level on the I/O pin must be greater than or equal to 70% of

VCC or VBATO .

Alarm Registers

The alarm registers for the real-time clock, interval timer, and cycle counter all operate in the same

manner. When the value of a given counter equals the value in its associated alarm register, the

appropriate flag bit is set in the status register. If the corresponding interrupt enable bit(s) in the status

when an alarm occurs, access to the device becomes limited. (See “Status/Control”, “Interrupts”, and the

“Programmable Expiration” sections.)

STATUS/CONTROL REGISTERS

The status and control registers are the first two bytes of page 16 (see “Memory Map”, Figure 4).

Setting a write protect bit to a logic 1 will permanently write protect the corresponding counter and alarm

registers, all write protect bits, and additional bits in the control register. The write protect bits can not be

written in a normal manner (see “Write Protect/Programmable Expiration” section).

3RO Read Only

If a programmable expiration occurs and the read only bit is set to a logic 1, then the DS2404 becomes

read only. If a programmable expiration occurs and the read only bit is a logic 0, then only the 64-bit

lasered ROM can be accessed (see “Write Protect/Programmable Expiration” section).

4OSC Oscillator enable

This bit controls the crystal oscillator. When set to a logic 1, the oscillator will start operation. When the

oscillator bit is a logic 0, the oscillator will stop.

5AUTO/MAN Automatic/ Manual Mode

When this bit is set to a logic 1, the interval timer is in automatic mode. In this mode, the interval timer is

enabled by the I/O line. When this bit is set to a logic 0, the interval timer is in manual mode. In this

mode the interval timer is enabled by the STOP/START bit.

6STOP/START Stop/Start (in Manual Mode)

If the interval timer is in manual mode, the interval timer will start counting when this bit is set to a logic

0 and will stop counting when set to a logic 1. If the interval timer is in automatic mode, this bit has no

effect.

7DSEL Delay Select Bit

This bit selects the delay that it takes for the cycle counter and the interval timer (in auto mode) to see a

transition on the I/O line. When this bit is set to a logic 1, the delay time is 123 + 2 ms. This delay allows

communication on the I/O line without starting or stopping the interval timer and without incrementing

the cycle counter. When this bit is set to a logic 0, the delay time is 3.5 ±0.5 ms.

MEMORY FUNCTION COMMANDS

The “Memory Function Flow Chart” (Figure 6) describes the protocols necessary for accessing the

memory. Two examples follow the flowchart. Three address registers are provided as shown in Figure 5.

The first two registers represent a 16-bit target address (TA1, TA2). The third register is the ending

offset/data status byte (E/S).

The target address points to a unique byte location in memory. The first five bits of the target address

(T4:T0) represent the byte offset within a page. This byte offset points to one of 32 possible byte

locations within a given page. For instance, 00000b points to the first byte of a page where as 11111b

would point to the last byte of a page.

DS2404

9 of 28 020998

The third register (E/S) is a read only register. The first five bits (E4: E0) of this register are called the

ending offset. The ending offset is a byte offset within a page. Bit 5 (PF) is the partial byte flag. Bit 6

(OF) is the overflow flag. Bit 7 (AA) is the authorization accepted flag.

Write Scratchpad Command [0Fh]

After issuing the write scratchpad command, the user must first provide the 2–byte target address,

followed by the data to be written to the scratchpad. The data will be written to the scratchpad starting at

the byte offset (T4:T0). The ending offset (E4: E0) will be the byte offset at which the host stops writing

data. The maximum ending offset is 11111b (31d). If the host attempts to write data past this maximum

offset, the overflow flag (OF) will be set and the remaining data will be ignored. If the user writes an

incomplete byte and an overflow has not occurred, the partial byte flag (PF) will be set.

Read Scratchpad Command [AAh]

This command may be used to verify scratchpad data and target address. After issuing the read scratchpad

command, the user may begin reading. The first two bytes will be the target address. The next byte will

be the ending offset/data status byte (E/S) followed by the scratchpad data beginning at the byte offset

(T4: T0). The user may read data until the end of the scratchpad after which the data read will be all logic

1’s.

Copy Scratchpad [55h]

This command is used to copy data from the scratchpad to memory. After issuing the copy scratchpad

command, the user must provide a 3-byte authorization pattern. This pattern must exactly match the data

contained in the three address registers (TA1, TA2, E/S, in that order). If the pattern matches, the AA

(Authorization Accepted) flag will be set and the copy will begin. At this point, the part will go into a TX

mode, transmitting a logic 1 to indicate the copy is in progress. A logic 0 will be transmitted after the data

has been copied. Any attempt to reset the part will be ignored while the copy is in progress. Copy

typically takes 30 µs.

The data to be copied is determined by the three address registers. The scratchpad data from the

beginning offset through the ending offset, will be copied to memory, starting at the target address.

Anywhere from 1 to 32 bytes may be copied to memory with this command. Whole bytes are copied even

if only partially written. The AA flag will be cleared only by executing a write scratchpad command.

MEMORY FUNCTION FLOW CHART Figure 6

DS2404

11 of 28 020998

Read Memory [F0h]

The read memory command may be used to read the entire memory. After issuing the command, the user

must provide the 2-byte target address. After the two bytes, the user reads data beginning from the target

address and may continue until the end of memory, at which point logic 1’s will be read. It is important to

realize that the target address registers will contain the address provided. The ending offset/data status

byte is unaffected.

The hardware of the DS2404 provides a means to accomplish error-free writing to the memory section.

To safeguard reading data in the 1-Wire environment and to simultaneously speed up data transfers, it is

recommended to packetize data into data packets of the size of one memory page each. Such a packet

would typically store a 16-bit CRC with each page of data to ensure rapid, error-free data transfers that

eliminate having to read a page multiple times to determine if the received data is correct or not. (See the

Book of DS19xx iButton Standards, Chapter 7 for the recommended file structure to be used with the 1-

Wire environment.)

WRITE PROTECT/PROGRAMMABLE EXPIRATION

The write protect bits (WPR, WPI, WPC) provide a means of write protecting the timekeeping data and

limiting access to the DS2404 when an alarm occurs (programmable expiration).

The write protect bits may not be written by performing a single copy scratchpad command. Instead, to

write these bits, the copy scratchpad command must be performed three times. Please note that the AA bit

will be set, as expected, after the first copy command is successfully executed. Therefore, the

authorization pattern for the second and third copy command should have this bit set. The read

scratchpad command may be used to verify the authorization pattern.

DS2404

13 of 28 020998

The write protect bits, once set, permanently write protects their corresponding counter and alarm

registers, all write protect bits, and certain control register bits as shown in Figure 7. The time/count

registers will continue to count if the oscillator is enabled. If the user wishes to set more than one write

protect bit, the user must set them at the same time. Once a write protect bit is set it cannot be undone,

and the remaining write protect bits, if not set, cannot be set.

The programmable expiration takes place when one or more write protect bits have been set and a

corresponding alarm occurs. If the RO (read only) bit is set, only the read scratchpad and read memory

function commands are available. If the RO bit is a logic “0”, no memory function commands are

available. The ROM functions are always available.

1-WIRE BUS SYSTEM

The 1-Wire bus is a system which has a single bus master and one or more slaves. In most instances the

DS2404 behaves as a slave. The exception is when the DS2404 generates an interrupt due to a

timekeeping alarm. The discussion of this bus system is broken down into three topics: hardware

configuration, transaction sequence, and 1-Wire signaling (signal types and timing).

HARDWARE CONFIGURATION

The 1-Wire bus has only a single line by definition; it is important that each device on the bus be able to

drive it at the appropriate time. To facilitate this, each device attached to the 1-Wire bus must have open

drain or 3-state outputs. The 1-Wire port of the DS2404 (I/O pin 5) is open drain with an internal circuit

equivalent to that shown in Figure 8. A multidrop bus consists of a 1-Wire bus with multiple slaves

attached. The 1-Wire bus has a maximum data rate of 16.3k bits per second and requires a pullup resistor

of approximately 5kΩ.

The idle state for the 1-Wire bus is high. If for any reason a transaction needs to be suspended, the bus

MUST be left in the idle state if the transaction is to resume. If this does not occur and the bus is left low

for more than 120 µs, one or more of the devices on the bus may be reset.

DS2404

14 of 28 020998

HARDWARE CONFIGURATION Figure 8

TRANSACTION SEQUENCE

The protocol for accessing the DS2404 via the 1-Wire port is as follows:

§ Initialization

§ ROM Function Command

§ Memory Function Command

§ Transaction/Data

INITIALIZATION

All transactions on the 1-Wire bus begin with an initialization sequence. The initialization sequence

consists of a reset pulse transmitted by the bus master followed by presence pulse(s) transmitted by the

slave(s). The presence pulse lets the bus master know that the DS2404 is on the bus and is ready to

operate. For more details, see the “1-Wire Signaling” section.

ROM FUNCTION COMMANDS

Once the bus master has detected a presence, it can issue one of the five ROM function commands. All

ROM function commands are eight bits long. A list of these commands follows (refer to flowchart in

Figure 9):

Read ROM [33h]

This command allows the bus master to read the DS2404’s 8-bit family code, unique 48-bit serial

number, and 8-bit CRC. This command can only be used if there is a single DS2404 on the bus. If more

than one slave is present on the bus, a data collision will occur when all slaves try to transmit at the same

time (open drain will produce a wired-AND result). The resultant family code and 48-bit serial number

will usually result in a mismatch of the CRC.

Match ROM [55h]

The match ROM command, followed by a 64-bit ROM sequence, allows the bus master to address a

specific DS2404 on a multidrop bus. Only the DS2404 that exactly matches the 64-bit ROM sequence

will respond to the following memory function command. All slaves that do not match the 64-bit ROM

sequence will wait for a reset pulse. This command can be used with a single or multiple devices on the

bus.

DS2404

15 of 28 020998

Skip ROM [CCh]

This command can save time in a single drop bus system by allowing the bus master to access the

memory functions without providing the 64-bit ROM code. If more than one slave is present on the bus

and a read command is issued following the Skip ROM command, data collision will occur on the bus as

multiple slaves transmit simultaneously (open drain pulldowns will produce a wired-AND result).

Search ROM [F0h]

When a system is initially brought up, the bus master might not know the number of devices on the 1-

Wire bus or their 64-bit ROM codes. The search ROM command allows the bus master to use a process

of elimination to identify the 64-bit ROM codes of all slave devices on the bus. The search ROM process

is the repetition of a simple 3-step routine: read a bit, read the complement of the bit, then write the

desired value of that bit. The bus master performs this simple, 3-step routine on each bit of the ROM.

After one complete pass, the bus master knows the contents of the ROM in one device. The remaining

number of devices and their ROM codes may be identified by additional passes. See Chapter 5 of the

Book of DS19xx iButton Standards for a comprehensive discussion of a search ROM, including an actual

example.

Search Interrupt [ECh]

This ROM command works exactly as the normal ROM Search, but it will identify only devices with

interrupts that have not yet been acknowledged.

1-WIRE SIGNALING

The DS2404 requires strict protocols to ensure data integrity. The protocol consists of five types of

signaling on one line: Reset Sequence with reset pulse and presence pulse, write 0, write 1, Read Data

and interrupt pulse. All these signals except presence pulse and interrupt pulse are initiated by the bus

master.

The initialization sequence required to begin any communication with the DS2404 is shown in Figure 10.

A reset pulse followed by a presence pulse indicates the DS2404 is ready to send or receive data given the

correct ROM command and memory function command.

The bus master transmits (TX ) a reset pulse (tRSTL , minimum of 480 µs). The bus master then releases the

line and goes into receive mode (RX ). The 1-Wire bus is pulled to a high state via the pull-up resistor.

After detecting the rising edge on the date line, the DS2404 waits (tPDH , 15-60 µs) and then transmits the

presence pulse (tPDL, 60 - 240 µs). There are special conditions if interrupts are enabled where the bus

master must check the state of the 1-Wire bus after being in the RX mode for 480 µs. These conditions

will be discussed in the “Interrupt” section.

READ/WRITE TIME SLOTS

The definitions of write and read time slots are illustrated in Figure 11. All time slots are initiated by the

master driving the data line low. The falling edge of the data line synchronizes the DS2404 to the master

by triggering a delay circuit in the DS2404. During write time slots, the delay circuit determines when the

DS2404 will sample the data line. For a read data time slot, if a “0” is to be transmitted, the delay circuit

determines how long the DS2404 will hold the data line low overriding the 1 generated by the master. If

the data bit is a “1”, the device will leave the read data time slot unchanged.

Interrupts

If the DS2404 detects an alarm condition, it will automatically set the corresponding alarm flag (CCF,

ITF or RTF) in the Status Register. If the flag’s corresponding interrupt bit (RST ,

ITE

RTE

) is enabled

(logic 0) an interrupt condition begins as the alarm goes off. The DS2404 signals the interrupt condition

by pulling the open drain IRQ output low. The interrupt condition ceases when the alarm flags are cleared

(i.e., the interrupt is acknowledged by reading the Status Register, address 200H) or if the corresponding

interrupt enable bit is disabled (set to logic 1).

Interrupts can also be generated on the 1-Wire port. Since communication and interrupt signaling share

the same pin, one has to distinguish between two types of interrupts: spontaneous interrupts, called type

1, and delayed interrupts, type 2. Spontaneous interrupts that have not yet occurred need to be (re-)armed

by a reset pulse after all communication on the 1-Wire bus has finished. A single falling slope on the 1-

Wire bus will disarm this type of interrupt. If an alarm condition occurs while the device is disarmed, at

first a type 2 interrupt will be produced.

Spontaneous interrupts are signaled by the DS2404 by pulling the data line low for 960 to 3840 µs as the

interrupt condition begins (Figure 12). After this long low pulse a presence pulse will follow. If the alarm

condition occurs just after the master has sent a reset pulse, i.e., during the high or low time of the

presence pulse, the DS2404 will not assert its Interrupt Pulse until the presence pulse is finished (Figure

13).

If the DS2404 cannot assert a spontaneous interrupt, either because the data line was not pulled high,

communication was in progress, or the interrupt was not armed, it will extend the next reset pulse to a

total length of 960 to 3840 µs (delayed interrupt). If the alarm condition occurs during the reset low time

of the reset pulse, the DS2404 will immediately assert its interrupt pulse; thus the total low time of the

pulse can be extended up to 4800 µs (Figure 14). If a DS2404 with a not previously signaled alarm

detects a power-on cycle on the 1-Wire bus, it will send a presence pulse and wait for the reset pulse sent

by the master to extend it and to subsequently issue a presence pulse (Figure 15). As long as an interrupt

has not been acknowledged by the master, the DS2404 will continue sending interrupt pulses.

The interrupt signaling discussed so far is valid for the first opportunity the device has to signal an

interrupt. It is not required for the master to acknowledge an interrupt immediately. If an interrupt is not

acknowledged, the DS2404 will continue signaling the interrupt with every reset pulse. To do so, DS2404

devices of Revision B4 (earlier production parts) will always use the waveform of the Type 2 Interrupt

(Figure 14). Devices of Revision B5 (current production) will either use the waveform of the Type 2

Interrupt (Figure 14) or the waveform of the Type 1A Interrupt (Figure 13). The waveform of the Type 2

Interrupt will be observed after a communication to a device other than the interrupting one; after

successful communication to the interrupting device (without acknowledging the interrupt) the waveform

of the Type 1A Interrupt will be found. The revision code of the DS2404 is appended to the

manufacturing date code which is printed on the top of the package right below the part number.

3-WIRE I/O COMMUNICATIONS

The 3–wire bus is comprised of three signals. These are the RST (reset) signal, the CLK (clock) signal,

and the DQ (data) signal. All data transfers are initiated by driving the RST input high. Driving the RST

input low terminates communication. (See Figures 19 and 20.)

A clock cycle is a sequence of a falling edge followed by a rising edge. For data inputs, the data must be

valid during the rising edge of a clock cycle. Command bits and data bits are input on the rising edge of

the clock and data bits are output on the falling edge of the clock. When reading data from the DS2404,

the DQ pin goes to a high impedance state while the clock is high. Taking RST low will terminate any

communication and cause the DQ pin to go to a high impedance state.

POWER CONTROL

There are two methods of supplying power to the DS2404, V CC Operate mode with battery backup and

Battery Operate mode. If the DS2404 is used in an application where battery backup is not desired, the

part must be wired for Battery Operate mode.

VCC Operate Mode (Battery Backed)

Figure 16 shows the necessary connections for operating the DS2404 in VCC Operate mode.

VCC OPERATE MODE Figure 16

VCC Pin 1 & 16 2.8 to 5.5 volts

VBATB Pin 9 2.8 to 5.5 volts

VBATO Pin 10 must be unconnected

To always allow communication through the 1-Wire or wire port, the voltage on VCC must be

approximately 3-wire port, the voltage on VCC must be approximately 0.2V above the voltage on VBATB.

Otherwise the DS2404 will retain data, but will not allow any access.

The VBATB pin is normally connected to any standard 3V lithium cell or other energy source. As VCC falls

below VBATB, the power switching circuit allows VBATB to provide energy for maintaining clock

functionality and data retention. No communication can take place while VBATB is greater than VCC.

During power-up, when VCC reaches a value of approximately 0.2V above VBATB, the power switching

circuit connects VCC and disconnects VBATB. If the oscillator is on, no communication can take place

until VCC has stayed approximately 0.2V above VBATB for 123 ± 2 ms. During power-down, the falling

VCC must pass the range from VBATB to 0V in no less than 100 ns for the power switching circuit to

function properly.

VBATB Pin 9 Ground

VBATO Pin 10 2.8 to 5.5 volts

The VBATO pin is normally connected to any standard 3 V lithium cell or other energy source. The Battery

Operate mode also minimizes the power-consumption in applications where battery backup is not

required and the VBATO lead is directly connected to the system’s 5V supply.

Note: In Battery Operate mode, the voltage on DQ must never exceed the voltage on VBATO if the 3-wire

interface is used. This restriction does not apply to the 1-Wire interface.

DEVICE OPERATION MODES

With its two ports and two power modes the DS2404 can be operated in several ways. While the

maximum voltage on the 1-Wire port (I/O) is always 6V, the maximum voltage on the 3-wire port (DQ)

depends on the power mode and actual operating voltage. A particular port is selected by setting the

control lines to a state that makes the other port inactive. See Table 1 for details.

When using the 3-wire port only and the DS2404 is wired for VCC Operate Mode (Battery Backed) the 1-

Wire I/O pin can be used as counter input. This mode requires that the I/O lead is connected to VCC

through a 5kΩ (typical) resistor. To enable communication through the 3-wire port a reset/presence

sequence has to be performed on the 1-Wire port after the system has powered up.

floating

DS2404

DUAL PORT OPERATION

The on-chip arbitration logic works on a first-come, first serve principle. Assuming that at one time both

ports are idle, the one port that becomes active prior to the other one is granted access. Activity on the 3-

wire port begins as the voltage level on the RST input changes from low to high. The 1-Wire port is

considered active with the first falling edge detected after the presence pulse.

Attempting to communicate with the device through the port that temporarily has no access does not

affect communication through the other port. If communication on the 1-Wire port is initiated while the

3-wire port is active, the device will still respond to the reset pulse, but any subsequently transmitted 1-

Wire command will be ignored. When reading the ROM or memory, for example, the response will

always be 1’s, indicating that access was denied. While the 1-Wire port is active, the 3-wire data line DQ

is in tristate mode. The always present resistor of approximately 60 kΩ pulls DQ low. The micro

connected to the 3-wire port will fight against this weak pulldown and, depending on its port

haracteristics, possibly dominate the logical value on DQ.

Since writing to the memory of the DS2404 requires multiple steps with short periods where both ports

are inactive, additional measures are required. To avoid one port overwriting actions initiated by the other

port one should do the following:

Allow the microcontroller operating the 3-wire port to monitor the activity on the 1-Wire port. This could

be done by means of a retriggerable one-shot, for example. The microcontroller should wait for a break of

several milliseconds on the 1-Wire port before attempting communication through the 3-wire port.

In addition, data should be organized as data packets with a length byte at the beginning and a CRC check

at the end. Whenever one side has finished communication with the DS2404 it should write a token such

as a “null-packet” into the scratchpad. A null-packet consists of three bytes that represent a zero length

followed by a valid 16-bit CRC. As one port tries to communicate with the device, the first memory

function command should be a Read Scratchpad. Communication should only proceed if the null-packet

is found. Otherwise communication through the other port is not yet finished and one is likely to interfere

if one does not immediately release the port for the communication on the other port to resume. For

details on recommended data structures please refer to chapters 7 or 10 of the “Book of DS19xx iButton

Standards”.
