The DS2502X1#U is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated. This device belongs to the DS2502 family of products and offers several key features.
1. Identification and Memory: The DS2502X1#U provides a unique 64-bit identification number (UID) that allows for the easy identification and tracking of each individual IC component. It also contains a 1024-bit (128-byte) electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) that can store various data.
2. Flexible Memory Organization: The memory in DS2502X1#U is divided into four memory pages, each containing 32 bytes. This flexible memory organization allows for segmented storage of data and helps in efficient data management.
3. Memory Protection: DS2502X1#U features memory write protection by a user-programmable 48-bit memory protection register. This feature enables users to protect critical data from accidental erasures or modifications.
4. One-Wire Interface: The DS2502X1#U utilizes the popular one-wire interface, also known as 1-Wire bus. This interface simplifies the connection and communication with the device as it requires only one data line and a ground connection. The communication is done through a dynamic random-access protocol which enables easy integration with various types of microcontrollers, sensors, and other devices
