DS1708TESA/T&R datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

DS1708TESA/T&R Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended power-up sequence for the DS1708?
  The recommended power-up sequence is to apply VCC first, followed by VEE. This ensures that the internal voltage regulators are properly initialized.
• How do I ensure accurate temperature measurements with the DS1708?
  To ensure accurate temperature measurements, make sure to follow proper PCB layout and thermal design guidelines, and calibrate the device according to the datasheet instructions.
• What is the maximum cable length for the 1-Wire interface?
  The maximum cable length for the 1-Wire interface is approximately 100 meters, but this can vary depending on the specific application and cable characteristics.
• Can I use the DS1708 in a multi-drop configuration?
  Yes, the DS1708 supports multi-drop configurations, allowing multiple devices to share the same 1-Wire bus. However, each device must have a unique address and be properly configured.
• How do I handle errors and exceptions with the DS1708?
  The DS1708 provides error detection and correction mechanisms, such as CRC and parity checks. Implement error handling routines in your application code to detect and recover from errors.
