DS2413P+T&R datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

DS2413P+T&R Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum cable length for the 1-Wire bus?
  The maximum cable length for the 1-Wire bus is 300 meters, but it can be extended up to 750 meters with the use of repeaters.
• How do I ensure reliable communication over the 1-Wire bus?
  To ensure reliable communication, use a dedicated 1-Wire bus pull-up resistor, keep the bus capacitance low, and minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI).
• What is the purpose of the VPP pin?
  The VPP (Program Voltage) pin is used to program the device. It is not required for normal operation and can be left unconnected if programming is not needed.
• Can I use the DS2413P+T&R as a standalone device?
  Yes, the DS2413P+T&R can be used as a standalone device, but it is typically used as a slave device in a 1-Wire network with a master device controlling the communication.
• How do I handle errors during data transmission?
  The DS2413P+T&R has built-in error detection and correction mechanisms, including cyclic redundancy checks (CRCs) and retry mechanisms. Implement error handling in the master device to retry failed transmissions.
