The DS2224 can support up to 256 devices on a single 1-Wire bus, but the actual number of devices that can be connected depends on the specific application and the bus loading.
The DS2224 has a built-in voltage regulator that can tolerate voltage drops or brownouts on the power supply, but it's recommended to use a capacitor to filter out noise and ensure stable operation.
Yes, the DS2224 can be used in a multi-master configuration, but it requires careful design and implementation to avoid bus conflicts and ensure reliable operation.
The maximum cable length for the 1-Wire bus depends on the specific application and the cable characteristics, but a general rule of thumb is to limit the cable length to 100 meters or less to ensure reliable operation.
The DS2224 uses a unique 64-bit ROM code to identify each device on the 1-Wire bus, and the master device can use this code to address and communicate with individual devices.
