DS2430A
14 of 19
Slave-to-Master
A Read-data time slot begins like a Write-1 time slot. The voltage on the data line must remain below
VTL until the read low time tRL is expired. During the tRL window, when responding with a 0, the
DS2430A starts pulling the data line low; its internal timing generator determines when this pulldown
ends and the voltage starts rising again. When responding with a 1, the DS2430A does not hold the data
line low at all, and the voltage starts rising as soon as tRL is over.
The sum of tRL + δ (rise time) on one side and the internal timing generator of the DS2430A on the other
side define the master sampling window (tMSRMIN to tMSRMAX) in which the master must perform a read
from the data line. For the most reliable communication, tRL should be as short as permissible, and the
master should read close to but no later than tMSRMAX. After reading from the data line, the master must
wait until tSLOT is expired. This guarantees sufficient recovery time tREC for the DS2430A to get ready for
the next time slot. Note that tREC specified herein applies only to a single DS2430A attached to a 1-Wire
line. For multidevice configurations, tREC must be extended to accommodate the additional 1-Wire device
input capacitance. Alternatively, an interface that performs active pullup during the 1-Wire recovery time
such as the DS2482-x00 or DS2480B 1-Wire line drivers can be used.
IMPROVED NETWORK BEHAVIOR (SWITCHPOINT HYSTERESIS)
In a 1-Wire environment, line termination is possible only during transients controlled by the bus master
(1-Wire driver). 1-Wire networks, therefore, are susceptible to noise of various origins. Depending on the
physical size and topology of the network, reflections from end points and branch points can add up, or
cancel each other to some extent. Such reflections are visible as glitches or ringing on the 1-Wire
communication line. Noise coupled onto the 1-Wire line from external sources can also result in signal
glitching. A glitch during the rising edge of a time slot can cause a slave device to lose synchronization
with the master and, consequently, result in a Search ROM command coming to a dead end or cause a
device-specific function command to abort. For better performance in network applications, the
DS2430A uses a new 1-Wire front end, which makes it less sensitive to noise.
The 1-Wire front end of the DS2430A differs from traditional slave devices in three characteristics.
1) There is additional low-pass filtering in the circuit that detects the falling edge at the beginning of a
time slot. This reduces the sensitivity to high-frequency noise.
2) There is a hysteresis at the low-to-high switching threshold VTH. If a negative glitch crosses VTH but
does not go below VTH - VHY, it will not be recognized (Figure 11, Case A)..
3) There is a time window specified by the rising edge hold-off time tREH during which glitches are
ignored, even if they extend below VTH - VHY threshold (Figure 11, Case B, tGL < tREH). Deep voltage
droops or glitches that appear late after crossing the VTH threshold and extend beyond the tREH
window cannot be filtered out and are taken as the beginning of a new time slot (Figure 11, Case C,
tGL ≥ tREH).
Devices that have the parameters VHY, and tREH specified in their electrical characteristics use the
improved 1-Wire front end.
