OVERVIEW
The DS2490 directly interfaces a USB port to a 1-Wire bus. As shown in Figure 1, the DS2490
incorporates a USB physical interface, a USB device controller coupled with a 1-Wire-specific USB
function core, and a 1-Wire bus interface controller. The 1-Wire interface controller shapes the slopes of
the 1-Wire waveforms, applies strong pullup to 5V, and reads the 1-Wire bus using a non-TTL threshold
to maximize the noise margin for best performance on large 1-Wire Networks. 1-Wire waveform timing
is accurately controlled with a crystal-based oscillator.

The DS2490 also supports USB remote wake-up which enables the DS2490-based USB peripheral to
send resume signaling to a suspended host system. If the remote wake-up function is enabled and the host
system is in a suspended state, a 1-Wire device attachment will cause the DS2490 to perform a host
system wake-up and allow the 1-Wire device to be serviced.

Typical application examples of the DS2490 are shown in Figure 2 (a to c). As shown in all the examples,
all host control and communication with the device is accomplished over a USB communication link. A
USB vendor-specific command set, as defined in this document, is used to select operational modes
(MODE COMMANDS), control command processing (CONTROL COMMANDS), and communicate
over the 1-Wire interface (COMMUNICATION COMMANDS). Shown in Figure 2, example (a) is a
DS2490-based USB peripheral application. The peripheral function is a USB to 1-Wire adapter and
provides both USB and 1-Wire I/O connections. In this example, the peripheral is attached to the USB
enabled host computer either directly at a root port or through a USB hub. The 1-Wire bus interface
provided by the DS2490 supports all 1-Wire devices manufactured by Dallas Semiconductor as well as

the various 1-Wire bus topologies simple multi-drop to complex 1-Wire Network. Example (b) and (c) in
Figure 2 are variations of example (a) in which the DS2490 is embedded in the host computer or a USB
HUB.

DS2490 APPLICATION EXAMPLES Figure 2

1-WIRE INTERFACE CONTROLLER

1-Wire communication commands sent to the DS2490 are ultimately processed by the 1-Wire interface
controller. One of the tasks of the interface controller is to actively shape the edges of the 1-Wire
communication waveforms. This speeds up the recharging of the 1-Wire bus (rising edges) and reduces
ringing of long lines (falling edges). The circuitry for shaping rising edges is always active. The slew rate
of falling edges is actively controlled only at flexible speed and requires the parameter for slew rate
control being different from its power-on default value. See the MODE COMMANDS section for
parameter control and power-on defaults.

All Rising Edges

The active pullup of the rising edges reduces the rise time on the 1-Wire bus significantly compared to a
simple resistive pullup. Figure 3 shows how the DS2490 is involved in shaping a rising edge.

The circuit operates as follows: At t1, the pulldown (induced by the DS2490 or a device on the bus) ends.
From this point on the 1-Wire bus is pulled high by the weak pullup current IWEAKPU provided by the
DS2490. The slope is determined by the load on the bus and the value of the pullup current. At t2, the
voltage crosses the threshold voltage VIAPO. Now, the DS2490 switches over from the weak pullup
current IWEAKPU to the higher current IACTPU. As a consequence, the voltage on the bus now rises faster.
As the voltage on the bus crosses the threshold VIAPTO at t3, a timer is started. As long as this timer is on
(tAPUOT), the IACTPU current will continue to flow. After the timer is expired, the DS2490 will switch back
to the weak pullup current.

Falling Edges (DS2490-initiated)

Whenever the DS2490 begins pulling the 1-Wire bus low to initiate a time slot, for example, it first turns
off the weak pullup current IWEAKPU. Then, at regular and overdrive speed it will generate a falling edge at
a slew rate of typically 15 V/µs. This value is acceptable for short 1-Wire busses and adequate for
communication at overdrive speed. For 1-Wire networks of more than roughly 30m length, flexible speed
should always be used. One of the parameters that is adjustable at flexible speed is the slew rate of
DS2490-initiated falling edges. The effect of the slew rate control is shown in Figure 4.

Extensive tests have shown that 1-Wire networks with lengths of up to 300m will perform best if the fall
time tF is in the range of 4 ± 0.5µs. This translates into a slew rate of approximately 1V/µs. This slew rate
is typically achieved by selecting a PULLDOWN SLEW RATE parameter code of 0 x 4 (see MODE
COMMANDS). If the actual measured fall time is longer than the target value, a parameter code of 0 x 3

 DS2490

or lower should be used. If the fall time is shorter, a parameter code of 0x5 or higher should be used.
Once determined, the value code for the PULLDOWN SLEW RATE control parameter should be stored
in the host and always be loaded into the DS2490 after a power-on or master reset cycle.

1-WIRE TIMING DIAGRAMS

This section explains the 1-Wire bus waveforms generated by the DS2490. First, the communication
waveforms such as the reset/presence detect sequence and read/write data time slots are discussed
followed by a detailed description of the Pulse function under various conditions.

1-Wire Communication Wave Forms

One of the major features of the DS2490 is that it relieves the host from generating the timing of the 1-
Wire signals and sampling the 1-Wire bus at the appropriate times. The reset/presence detect sequence is
shown in Figure 5. This sequence is composed of four timing segments: the reset low time tRSTL, the
short/interrupt sampling offset tSI, the presence detect sampling offset tPDT and a delay time tFILL. The
timing segments tSI, tPDT and tFILL comprise the reset high time tRSTH where 1-Wire slave devices assert
their presence or interrupt pulse. During this time, the DS2490 pulls the 1-Wire bus high with a weak
pullup current.

Reset/presence timing values are shown in Figure 5. The values of all timing segments for all 1-Wire
speed options are shown in the table. Since the reset/presence sequence is slow compared to the time
slots, the values for regular and flexible speed are the same. Except for the falling edge of the presence
pulse, all edges are controlled by the DS2490. The shape of the uncontrolled falling edge is determined
by the capacitance of the 1-Wire bus and the number, speed, and sink capability of the slave devices
connected.

OVERDRIVE 64µs 2µs 8µs 64µs 74µs
FLEXIBLE 512µs 8µs 64µs 512µs 584µs

Upon executing a 1-WIRE RESET command (see COMMUNICATION COMMANDS), the DS2490
pulls the 1-Wire bus low for tRSTL and then lets it go back to 5V. The DS2490 will now wait for the
short/interrupt sampling offset tSI to expire and then test the voltage on the 1-Wire bus to determine if
there is a short or an interrupt signal. If there is no short or interrupt the DS2490 will wait for tPDT and test
the voltage on the 1-Wire bus for a presence pulse. Regardless of the result of the presence test, the
6 of 50
 DS2490

DS2490 will then wait for tFILL to expire and then, depending on the value of embedded 1-WIRE RESET
command bits PST, NTF, and ICP, generate a command response byte that is available to the host.

If the test for interrupt or short reveals a logic 0, the DS2490 will wait for 4096µs and then test the 1-
Wire bus again. If a logic 0 is detected, the 1-Wire bus is shorted and the DS2490 feedback response for
the 1-WIRE RESET communication command will indicate a short detection. If a logic 1 is detected, the
device will wait for tFILL to expire, after which it will load the feedback response value for the 1-WIRE
RESET command with an alarming presence pulse detect value. See the DEVICE FEEDBACK section
for additional details. No additional testing for a presence pulse will be done. The DS2490 will perform
the short/interrupt testing as described also at overdrive speed, although interrupt signaling is only
defined for regular speed.

As shown in Figure 6, a Write-1 and Read Data time slot is comprised of the segments tLOW1, tDSO, and
tHIGH. During Write-1 time slots, after the Write-1 low time (tLOW1) expires, the DS2490 waits for the
duration of the data sample offset and then samples the 1-Wire voltage to read the response. After this,
the waiting time tHIGH1 must expire before the time slot is complete. As shown in Figure 7, a Write-0 time
slot consists of the two segments tLOW0 and tREC0.

Since the defaults for regular speed exceed the 1-Wire sampling maximum for most 1-Wire devices
(tLOW1 + tDSO = 20µs) it is recommended to always use flexible speed. The minimum flexible speed
settings tLOW1 = 4µs and tDSO = 10µs suffice for most applications. If the network is large or heavily
loaded, Write-1 low time (tLOW1) should be extended to more than 8µs to allow the 1-Wire bus to
completely discharge. Since a large or heavily loaded network needs more time to recharge, it is also
recommended to delay sampling the bus for reading. A higher Data Sample Offset value (tDSO) will
increase the voltage margin and also provide extra energy to the slave devices when generating a long
series of Write-0 time slots. However, the total of tLOW1 + tDSO should not exceed 15µs. Otherwise, the
slave device responding may have stopped pulling the bus low when transmitting a logic 0. Note that
some long line loading conditions can extend the line recovery so the total tLOW1 + tDSO can be extended.
Care must be taken to not violate the tMSR of the attached 1-Wire devices.

Pulse Wave Forms

The PULSE COMMUNICATION COMMAND can be used to generate a strong pullup to 5V. The
duration of the pulses is specified with the STRONG PULLUP DURATION mode register. Figure 8
shows timing of the pulse. For predefined pulse durations, tSPU is a known value, for semi-infinite and
infinite durations these pulse times vary and depend on the characteristics of attached 1-Wire devices
and/or host processor intervention. See the MODE COMMAND section for details on duration times. As
shown in the figure, at t1 processing of the PULSE command begins, at t2 the pulse ends.

Certain applications may require a duration for a strong pullup that cannot be realized using one of the
predefined values (see MODE COMMANDS section for values). Selecting infinite duration allows the
host to generate pulses of any length. As a consequence, however, the host becomes responsible to
actively control the duration of the pulse. Failing to do so may require a power-on reset or master-reset
cycle of the DS2490. For this reason, infinite duration should only be used if absolutely necessary. The
HALT EXECUTION WHEN DONE or HALT EXECUTION WHEN IDLE control commands are used
to terminate an infinite duration pulse.

STRONG PULLUP TO 5V, PRE-DEFINED DURATION Figure 8

USB COMMUNICATION
Communication with the DS2490 is performed using USB standard requests, also referred to as core
commands or requests in this document, and DS2490 vendor specific USB commands. All command
communication with the DS2490 is performed over the default control pipe. Non-command
communication, including 1-Wire device data I/O and DS2490 status information, occurs in a vendor-
specific fashion over bulk and interrupt pipes. Configuration of the DS2490 USB controller is shown in
Figure 9. As shown, a Dallas Semiconductor vendor-specific 1-Wire device exists with a single 1-Wire
interface. The USB vendor-specific 1-Wire function of the DS2490 will be implemented and controlled
by the device driver at the device level of the device class hierarchy, i.e, vendor-specific commands, will
be directed to the device level. Within the 1-Wire interface, four endpoints exist to control and
communicate with the device. Four alternate settings of the 1-Wire interface exist that correspond to
different operating modes for the endpoints. Endpoint and interface descriptions are summarized in the
following paragraphs.

The DS2490 provides USB remote wake-up capability. Per the USB specification, if a device supports
remote wake-up, it must also provide the ability to enable or disable the remote wake-up function. In
addition, the remote wake-up feature must be disabled as the power up default or device reset state. When
the remote wake-up feature is enabled, the DS2490 will send USB resume signaling to a suspended host
system upon detecting a 1-Wire device attachment. It then becomes the responsibility of host system
software to resume operation and to determine what servicing is required for the 1-Wire device.

Endpoint (EP) Summary Description

EP0 is the endpoint for the bi-directional default control pipe. It is used for the USB enumeration process,
USB core request communication, and all DS2490 specific command communication.

EP1 is the endpoint for an interrupt pipe (device to host) and is used to relay DS2490 status register data
and specific command execution completion and/or error information to the host. It is also used to inform
the host of 1-Wire device-attach detection. The polling period requested for EP1 is either 10ms or 1ms,
depending on the alternate interface setting of the 1-Wire interface. The default polling period for EP1 is
10ms.

EP2 is an endpoint for a bulk data out pipe (data from host) and is used to transmit 1-Wire device data
from the host to the DS2490. The information received at this endpoint will be transmitted as data on the
1-Wire bus.

EP3 is an endpoint for a bulk data in pipe (data to host) and is used to send data received by the DS2490
from the 1-Wire bus back to the host for processing.

1-Wire Interface Summary Description

The interface is the USB collection point for the four endpoints. Four alternate settings exist for the 1-
Wire interface which correspond to different operational modes for the pipes to EP1, EP2, and EP3. As
shown in Table 2, the alternate settings specify different polling periods for the interrupt pipe and
different maximum packet sizes for the two bulk pipes.

Notes:
1. The only valid configuration values are 0 and 1 for the SET_CONFIGURATION request.
Configuration value 0 corresponds to the non-configured state.
2. Only the DEVICE and CONFIGURATION descriptor types are supported for the
GET_DESCRIPTOR request.
3. Interface 0 is the only valid interface value for the DS2490.
4. The only valid feature selector for the command is DEVICE_REMOTE_WAKE-UP.
5. The DS2490 is intended, at a minimum, to be partially bus powered. Remote wake-up can be enabled
or disabled. GET_STATUS requests to the device will return a logic 0 for the self-powered bit field
and the current state value for the remote wake-up bit.
6. There is no USB core level status information defined for interfaces in USB Specification v1.1. The
DS2490 will always return 0 value data for GET_STATUS requests to interfaces.

DS2490 Vendor-Specific USB Commands

Three different vendor-specific command types exist to control and communicate with the DS2490:
Control, Communication, and Mode. Control commands are used to manage various device functions
including the processing of communication commands, buffer clearing, and SW reset. Communication
commands are used for 1-Wire data and command I/O. Mode commands are used to establish the 1-Wire
operational characteristics of the DS2490 such as slew rate, low time, strong pullup, etc. Control,
Communication and Mode commands, like USB core requests, are communicated over the default control
pipe at EP0. With one exception as noted below, each command and any associated parameter data are
individually formatted into the 8-byte control transfer setup packet as follows:
bmRequestType bRequest wValue wIndex wLength
Request type bit map Command Type Command Command Parameters (2 bytes)
(1 byte) (1 byte) (2 bytes) (2 bytes) See Note 2
See Note 1

Notes:
1. The one exception to wValue formatting is for the READ STRAIGHT Communication command.
This command requires three parameter bytes that exceed the 2-byte parameter encoding space
available in the wIndex field. For this command only, the wValue field will be formatted as 1
command byte and 1 parameter byte. See the command description in Appendix 2 for details.
2. The wLength field is used by the GET COMM CMDS Control command to specify the number of
command/parameter bytes to retrieve from the DS2490 command FIFO; see the command description
for specifics. In all other cases the wLength field is not used and must be set to 0x0000.

The bit-mapped bmRequestType field identifies the characteristics of the USB command per Chapter 9
of the USB Specification. Fields included in this command describe the direction of the transfer, type of
request (core, class, or vendor specific) and the target of the command recipient (device, interface, or
endpoint). The only variation on the bmRequestType field for the different DS2490 vendor-specific
command will be for the transfer direction: host to device, or device to host; the recipient for all
commands will be the device.

The bRequest field contains a 1-byte constant identifying which of the three supported DS2490
command types is being sent. The command constants are defined in Appendix 4 and are summarized as
follows:

12 of 50
 DS2490

Command Type Description

CONTROL_CMD 1-Wire interface control commands
COMM_CMD 1-Wire interface communication commands
MODE_CMD 1-Wire interface operational mode commands

The 2-byte wValue field is encoded with the specific command. For Control and Mode commands, the
field value corresponds to a specific command constant as defined in Appendix 4. For Communication
commands, the field has additional embedded command parameters as indicated in Appendix 2. The
exception is the READ STRAIGHT command as described previously.

The 2-byte wIndex is used to hold additional command parameter data when required by the specific
command.

The wLength field is used in the control transfer setup packet to specify the number of bytes to be sent
during the data stage of a control transfer. The “GET COMM CMDS” control command is the only
DS2490 command that uses the data stage of the control transfer. Typically, all command data is
embedded in the setup stage. Except for the GET COMM CMDS, this field must be set to 0x0000.

DS2490 Control, Communication, and Mode vendor-specific command descriptions and formatting are
defined in Appendices 1, 2, and 3. Vendor-specific commands not defined in the appendices are not
supported by the DS2490 and the device will respond with a STALL if an unsupported command is
received.

MODE COMMANDS
DS2490 1-Wire characteristics and features (speed, durations, slew rate, etc.) are controlled with discrete
Mode commands and/or embedded Communication command parameters. Parameter values and
enable/disable settings are used for characteristic control. Mode settings are stored in the DS2490 State
Registers and can be read at any time or at the polling interval of EP1. See the section “DEVICE
FEEDBACK” for State Register details.

Enable/disable settings are used to control two global features:

 Strong pullup to +5V
 Dynamic 1-Wire bus communication speed change through a communication command

The settings for these three global controls are accessible only through Mode commands; the features are
either enabled or disabled with the appropriate Mode command. Specific Communication commands
exist to issue a strong pullup, or speed change. When the corresponding setting is enabled the feature is
usable as part of a communication command when disabled the feature is not usable.

Parameter values and codes are used to specify and control 1-Wire bus characteristics:
 1-Wire bus communication speed
 +5V strong pullup duration
 Pulldown slew rate
 Write-1 low time
 Data sample offset/Write-0 Recovery time

These five settings are controllable with discrete Mode commands or as embedded command/parameter
values in Communications commands.

13 of 50
 DS2490

As listed in Table 5 and summarized previously, there are eight Mode commands. The USB control
transfer setup packet coding to transmit these commands is detailed in Appendix 3. Mode commands are
immediately processed by the DS2490 when they are received. The DS2490 power-on default values for
these parameters are as listed in Table 11. Each command and parameter control is detailed in the
following paragraphs.

Mode Command Set Descriptions:

ENABLE PULSE—This command is used to enable or disable a 1-Wire strong pullup pulse to 5V. One
bit position in the parameter byte is used to control the enabled/disabled state for the pulse. The pulse is
enabled when the respective bit is set to a 1 and disabled when set to a 0. The DS2490 power-up default
state for strong pullup is disabled.

ENABLE SPEED CHANGE—This command is used to enable or disable a 1-Wire communication

speed change. Enabled when a TRUE parameter value is passed with the command, disabled with a
FALSE. The DS2490 power-up default state for speed change is disabled.

1-WIRE SPEED—This command is used to set the speed of 1-Wire communication; three settings are
possible. The parameter codes to select the desired or required speed are as listed in Table 6. As shown,
speed codes 0x3..0xF are undefined. The DS2490 decodes the 3 LSBs of the 1-Wire speed code. Sending
a code other than the defined values in Table 6 will result in undefined behavior. The DS2490 power-up
default communication speed is regular.

STRONG PULLUP DURATION—This command is used to set the time duration of a 1-Wire strong
pullup. As shown in Table 7, the time is controlled with an unsigned 8-bit binary number between 0x00
and 0xFE which specifies the duration in multiples of 16ms. A value of 0x01 specifies 16ms, 0x02 equals
32ms, etc. A value of 0x00 specifies infinite duration. Parameter value 0xFF is reserved and will cause
the device to deliver a pullup duration of <1μs. To terminate an infinite duration pullup use either the
HALT EXECUTION WHEN DONE or HALT EXECUTION WHEN IDLE Control commands as
described in Appendix 1. The DS2490 power-up default strong pullup duration register value is 512ms.

PULLDOWN SLEW RATE—This command is used to select the pulldown slew rate for 1-Wire bus
Flexible Speed operation; eight pulldown slew rates are possible. The parameter codes to select the
desired or required slew rate are as listed in Table 8. The slew rate numbers in the table represent nominal
values. The nominal pulldown slew rate for Regular speed is 0.83V/s and for Overdrive speeds it is
15V/s. The DS2490 decodes the three LSBs of the slew rate code. Sending a code other than the defined
values in Table 8 will result in undefined behavior. The DS2490 pulldown slew rate power-up default
value for Flexible speed is 0.83V/s.

WRITE-1 LOW TIME—This command is used to select the Write-1 low time for 1-Wire bus Flexible
speed operation; eight Write-1 low time durations are possible. The parameter codes to select the desired
or required low time are as listed in Table 9. The low time numbers in the table represent nominal values.
The nominal Write-1 Low Time for Regular speed is 4s, at Overdrive speed it is 1.4s. The DS2490
decodes the three LSBs of the low time code. Sending a code other than the defined values in Table 9 will
result in undefined behavior. The DS2490 Write-1 Low Time power-up default value for Flexible speed is

DSOW0 RECOVERY TIME—This command is used to select the Data Sample Offset (tDSO) / Write-0
recovery (tW0R) time (DSO/W0R) for 1-Wire bus Flexible Speed operation; eight DSO/W0R times are
possible. The parameter codes to select the desired or required recovery time are as listed in Table 10.
The numbers in the table represent nominal values. The nominal DSO/W0R time for Regular speed is
16s, for Overdrive speed the Data Sample Offset is 1s and the Write-0 Recovery Time is 3s. The
DS2490 decodes the three LSBs of the DSO/W0R code. Sending a code other than the defined values in

CONTROL COMMANDS
DS2490 Control commands are used to control the processing of Communication commands/data and can
also be used to issue a device Reset. As listed in Table 12 there are 9 Control commands. The USB
control transfer setup packet coding to transmit these commands is detailed in Appendix 1. Like Mode
commands, Control commands are immediately processed by the DS2490 when they are received.

Control Command Set Descriptions:

RESET DEVICE—This command performs a hardware reset equivalent to the power-on reset. This
includes clearing all endpoint buffers and loading the Mode control registers with their default values.

START EXECUTION—This command starts execution of Communication commands. This command

is also required to start the execution of Communication commands with an IM (immediate execution
control) bit set to logic 0.

RESUME EXECUTION—This command is used to resume execution of a Communication command

that was halted with either of the HALT EXECUTION commands.

HALT EXECUTION WHEN IDLE—This command is used to halt the execution of the current
Communication command after the 1-Wire bus has returned to the idle state. Further Communication
command processing is stopped until a RESUME EXECUTION command is received. This command, or
the HALT EXECUTION WHEN DONE command, is also used to terminate a strong pullup of semi-
infinite or infinite duration.

HALT EXECUTION WHEN DONE—This command is used to halt the execution of a

Communication command after the current command execution is complete. Further Communication
command processing is stopped until a RESUME EXECUTION command is received. This command, or
the HALT EXECUTION WHEN IDLE command, is also used to terminate a strong pullup of semi-
infinite or infinite duration.

FLUSH COMM CMDS—This command is used to clear all unexecuted Communication commands
from the command FIFO. The DS2490 must be in a halted state before the FLUSH COMM CMDS
command can be processed.

FLUSH DATA RCV BUFFER—This command is used to clear EP3 receive data FIFO (data from 1-
Wire device). The DS2490 must be in a halted state before the FLUSH DATA RCV BUFFER command
can be processed.

FLUSH DATA XMT BUFFER—This command is used to clear EP2 transmit data FIFO (data to 1-
Wire device). The DS2490 must be in a halted state before the FLUSH DATA XMT BUFFER command
can be processed.

GET COMM CMDS—This command is used to retrieve unexecuted Communication commands and
parameters from the command FIFO. The DS2490 must be in a halted state before the GET COMM
CMDS command can be processed. Unexecuted commands are returned over EP0 in the control transfer
data phase. Host software is responsible for determining the number of command/parameter bytes to be
returned and specifying the value in the wLength field of the control transfer setup packet.
Commands/parameters are deleted from the FIFO as they are transmitted to the host; the command
pointer used with the FIFO is updated as values are read. Any commands/parameters that are not
transferred remain in the FIFO and will be processed when command execution resumes. If the wLength
value passed is larger than the number of command/parameter bytes, the DS2490 will terminate the
control transfer with a short data packet.

COMMUNICATION COMMANDS
Communication commands are used to communicate with and control an attached 1-Wire device(s).
There are 14 Communication commands as summarized in Table 13. Communication commands also
contain embedded command bits for conditional control or additional functionality. Appendix 2 details
the embedded command bit purpose/formatting as well as the control transfer setup packet coding to
transmit the command/parameter data to the DS2490.

Unlike Mode and Control commands, Communication command processing is controlled by host
software by setting embedded command bits within a Communication command. For example, a
command macro form is supported in which several Communication commands and parameter data are
sent/buffered in the DS2490 and then processed as a group. Embedded command bit ICP is used to create
macro command sets. Also, unlike Mode and Control commands, several forms of Communication
command monitoring exist for host software to track processing progress.

Depending on the settings of embedded communication command bits ICP and NTF, see APPENDIX 2,
a Result Register value may be generated to provide command processing feedback. Communication
command buffer (FIFO) status and 1-Wire data transmit/received buffers (EP2/3 FIFOs) status can also
be monitored via the State Registers. See the section “DEVICE FEEDBACK” for details on command
monitoring.

Communication Command Set Descriptions:

SET DURATION—This command changes the State Register pulse duration value for the strong pullup.
The new duration value is loaded into the duration register as detailed in Appendix 2. The duration value
can alternatively be changed using a Mode command. The new duration setting remains effective until
changed by another SET DURATION or MODE Command. See section “MODE COMMANDS” for
duration parameter value setting.

Note:
An infinite duration pulse is terminated by using either of the HALT EXECUTION Control commands.
To resume 1-Wire activity after the termination, use the RESUME EXECUTION Control command.

Command parameters: 1 byte specifying the new duration.

EP2 data: None, this command gets its input data as a command parameter.
EP3 data: None
Result Register: If ICP = 1: no result data is generated.
If ICP = 0 and NTF = 1: a result value of 0x00 will be generated.
If IPC = 0 and NTF = 0: no result data is generated since there are no
error codes associated with this command.

PULSE—This command is used to generate a strong pullup to 5V in order to provide extra power for an
attached iButton device, e.g., temperature sensor, EEPROM, SHA-1, or crypto iButton. The pulse
duration is determined by the value in the mode register.
Command parameters: None
EP2 data: None
EP3 data: None
Result Register: Code Condition
0x00 ICP = 0, NTF = 1: no error detected
None ICP = 0, NTF = 0: no error detected
None ICP = 1

 DS2490

1-Wire RESET—This command is used to generate a reset pulse on the 1-Wire bus and to optionally
change the 1-Wire speed. The new speed will take effect only if the embedded command bit SE is set to
1. When the 1-WIRE RESET is sent after an Overdrive Skip ROM command, SE must be 1 and the new
speed must be 0x02. See MODE CONTROL section for additional communication speed information. To
switch back to regular speed, set SE = 1 and the new speed parameter to 0x00 (regular) or 0x01 (flexible).
Command parameters: 1 byte specifying new speed after the reset.
EP2 data: None
EP3 data: None
Result Register: Code Condition
SH, NRS, APP ICP = 0, NTF = 0 or 1: An abnormal condition or
an Alarming Presence Pulse was detected
0x00 ICP = 0, NTF = 1: no error detected
None ICP = 0, NTF = 0: no error detected
None ICP = 1

BIT I/O - This command generates a single time slot on the 1-Wire bus and reads back the response.
Data bit d3 (D) of command byte 1 specifies the value to be written to the 1-Wire bus. This time slot may
optionally be followed by a strong pullup using embedded command bits SPU and CIB. With CIB = 1, a
requested strong pullup will only occur if the read-back revealed a 0. Data is returned to the host only if
the embedded command bit ICP = 0. If ICP = 0, the bit read from the 1-Wire device is stored in the
EP3 FIFO and is read by the host using an EP3 bulk transaction.
Command parameters: None.
EP2 data: None, this command gets its input data as a command parameter.
EP3 data: Length Description
If ICP = 0: 1 byte Bit read back from the 1-Wire device.
If ICP = 1: None No data is returned.
Result Register: If ICP = 1: no result data is generated.
If ICP = 0 and NTF = 1: a result value of 0x00 will be generated.
If IPC = 0 and NTF = 0: no result data is generated since there are no
error codes associated with this command.

BYTE I/O—This command accomplishes a direct 1-Wire write and read with optional strong pullup
after the last bit of the byte. The optional strong pullup is controlled using embedded command bit SPU.
For a write sequence, the data byte to be written is included in the command setup packet as shown in
Appendix 2. For a read sequence, the setup packet data byte value is set to 0xFF. Data is returned to the
host only if the embedded command bit ICP = 0. If ICP = 0, the byte read from the 1-Wire device is
stored in the EP3 FIFO and is read by the host using an EP3 bulk transaction.

 DS2490

Command parameters: 1 byte: Data byte to be sent to the 1-Wire bus. To read only, the byte
should be 0xFF.
EP2 data: None, this command gets its input data as a command parameter.
EP3 data: Length Description
If ICP = 0: 1 byte Byte read back from the 1-Wire device.
If ICP = 1: None No data is returned.
Result Register: If ICP = 1: no result data is generated.
If ICP = 0 and NTF = 1: a result value of 0x00 will be generated.
If IPC = 0 and NTF = 0: no result data is generated since there are no
error codes associated with this command.

BLOCK I/O—This command accomplishes a direct 1-Wire write or read with optional strong pullup
after the last byte of the block. The optional strong pullup is controlled using embedded command bit
SPU. Embedded command bit RST enables a 1-Wire reset before the command executes. To accomplish
a READ function all input data should be 0xFF, otherwise the data read from the 1-Wire bus will be
masked. For a block write sequence the EP2 FIFO must be pre-filled with data before command
execution. Additionally, for block sizes greater then the FIFO size, the FIFO content status must be
monitored by host SW so that additional data can be sent to the FIFO when necessary. A similar EP3
FIFO content monitoring requirement exists for block read sequences. During a block read the number of
bytes loaded into the EP3 FIFO must be monitored so that the data can be read before the FIFO
overflows.
Command parameters: 2 bytes specifying block size.

error codes associated with this command.

MATCH ACCESS—This command is used to address a device on the active section of the 1-Wire bus
using the Match ROM or Overdrive Match command code. The EP2 FIFO must be pre-filled with the 8
bytes target ROM ID before command execution. Embedded command bit RST enables a 1-Wire reset
before the command executes, and embedded command bit SE enables a 1-Wire speed change that takes
effect before the command executes.

EP3 data: None
Result Register: If ICP = 1: no result data is generated.
If ICP = 0 and NTF = 1: a result value of 0x00 will be generated.
If IPC = 0 and NTF = 0: no result data is generated since there are no
error codes associated with this command.

READ STRAIGHT—This command transmits a user-specified preamble of data to the 1-Wire bus and
then reads back as many bytes as specified. The preamble typically consists of a 1-Wire command code
followed by TA1 and TA2. It is possible to include a Match ROM command and ROM ID in the
preamble to also address a device at the current speed. This command can also be used to copy the
scratchpad or disconnect a path. Embedded command bit RST enables a 1-Wire reset before the
command executes. The EP2 FIFO must be pre-filled with preamble data before command execution.
Additionally, for preamble sizes greater then the FIFO size, the FIFO content status must be monitored by
host SW so that additional data can be sent to the FIFO when necessary. A similar EP3 FIFO content
monitoring requirement exists for the block read. During a block read, the number of bytes loaded into
the EP3 FIFO must be monitored so that the data can be read before the FIFO overflows.
Command parameters: 3 bytes: 2-byte parameter specifying block read size, byte specifying

If IPC = 0 and NTF = 0: no result data is generated since there are no
error codes associated with this command.

DO & RELEASE—This command is typically used to control the activity of the CPU of the crypto
iButton, which requires a release sequence. This command can also be used to read from or write to the
I/O buffer or Status Register of the crypto iButton. A short preamble (3 bytes) consists of a 1-Wire
command code followed by the release sequence. A four-byte preamble with embedded command bit R
= 1 consists of a 1-Wire command code followed by length byte and the release sequence. A 4-byte
preamble with embedded command bit R = 0 consists of a 1-Wire command code followed by a status
byte and the release sequence. The long preamble (minimum 5 bytes, embedded command bit R = 0)
consists of a 1-Wire command, a length byte, data bytes and the release sequence. In this case, the length
byte indicates the total number of bytes between the length byte and release sequence. The least
significant byte of the release sequence is transmitted first. Embedded command bit SPU must be 1 when
trying to run (start, continue) the CPU of the crypto iButton. In all other cases, SPU should be 0.
Additionally, embedded command bit F can be used to clear the communication command buffer and
EP2/3 FIFOs if an error occurs during execution of the command. The EP2 FIFO must be pre-filled with
preamble data before command execution. Additionally, for preamble sizes greater then the FIFO size,

the FIFO content status must be monitored by host SW so that additional data can be sent to the FIFO
when necessary.

A similar EP3 FIFO content monitoring requirement exists for the block read. During a block read the
number of bytes loaded into the EP3 FIFO must be monitored so that the data can be read before the
FIFO overflows.
Command parameters: 1 byte specifying preamble size.

SET PATH—This command is used to activate a series of couplers that finally provide the access to the
target 1-Wire device. Embedded command bit RST enables a 1-Wire reset before the command executes.
Additionally, embedded command bit F can be used to clear the communication command buffer and
EP2/3 FIFOs if an error occurs during execution of the command. The EP2 FIFO must be pre-filled with
coupler data before command execution. Additionally, for coupler data sizes greater then the EP2 FIFO
size, the FIFO content status must be monitored by host SW so that additional data can be sent to the
FIFO when necessary. Upon completion of command execution, the EP3 FIFO is loaded with a 1-byte
value that indicates the number of couplers activated. An NRS error code is an indication that there was
no presence pulse on the branch that was to be connected.

WRITE SRAM PAGE—This command is used to write data to the scratchpad of an SRAM device and
optionally check the CRC. To copy the data to its final memory location, it is required to send the READ
STRAIGHT command with a “copy scratchpad” preamble and a 0 block size. Embedded command bit
DT = 1 activates the CRC16 generator. This command is also applicable to the Write IPR function of the
Crypto iButton if embedded command bit CIB = 1. To write a partial page the page size parameter and
the target address need to be set accordingly. The EP2 FIFO must be pre-filled with preamble and SRAM
data before command execution. Additionally, for data page sizes greater then the EP2 FIFO size, the
FIFO content status must be monitored by host SW so that additional data can be sent to the FIFO when
necessary.
Command parameters: 1 byte specifying page size. This specifies the number of bytes to be
sent to the 1-Wire device following a 2- or 3-byte preamble. This
number is typically identical to the page size; a value of 0x00 indicates a
256-byte page.
EP2 data: Length Description
If CIB = 0: 3-bytes + page Preamble and data bytes to be sent to the 1-Wire
size SRAM device. 3-byte preamble: 1-Wire command

READ CRC PROT PAGE—This command is used to read one or multiple CRC-protected pages of
EPROM devices and to read tamper-detect bytes and counter value of Monetary iButtons. If embedded
command bit DT = 1, the CRC16 generator is selected; if DT = 0, CRC8 is used. Embedded command bit
CIB is used to specify either a 2- or 3-byte read preamble. Additionally, embedded command bit F can be
used to clear the Communication command buffer and EP2/3 FIFOs if an error occurs during execution
of the command. The command can also be used to read a single partial page up to the end of that page
and reading the PIOs of a DS2406. This command is also applicable to the Read IPR function of the
crypto iButton if CIB = 1. The EP2 FIFO must be pre-filled with preamble data before command
execution. To prevent overflow, the EP3 FIFO must be monitored (and read if necessary) during
command execution if reading more data than the size of the EP3 FIFO.

Command parameters: 2 bytes: 1 byte page size, 1 byte number of pages. Note that the Page
Size byte parameter value must be of the form log2(actual page size).
For example, if the actual page size is 3210, then the Page Size
parameter would need to be 0x05. Typical page sizes are 32 decimal for
data memory and 8 for status memory. A page size of 0x00 indicates a
256-byte page.

READ REDIRECT PAGE W/CRC—This command is used to read a single page of data and check the
CRC. If the page is not redirected, the host will receive the page number and all its data. If the page is
redirected and embedded command bit CH = 1 the device will follow the trail of redirections until a page
is found that is not redirected. When found, the host will receive the page number and all data of that
particular page. If CH = 0 and the first read attempt reveals a redirection the host will only receive the
number of the page the addressed page is redirected to. Reading starts at a page boundary. Additionally,
embedded command bit F can be used to clear the communication command buffer and EP2/3 FIFOs if
an error occurs during execution of the command. An NRS error code is an indication of an infinite loop.
The EP2 FIFO must be pre-filled with ROM ID and command code data before command execution. To
prevent overflow, the EP3 FIFO must be monitored (and read if necessary) during command execution if
reading more data than the size of the EP3 FIFO.

Command parameters: 2 bytes: 1 byte page size, 1 byte page address. Page size byte indicates
the number of bytes that are considered a page. Typical page sizes are
32 decimal for data memory, 8 for status memory, and 40 decimal for
Monetary iButtons. A page size of 0x00 indicates a 256-byte page. The
page address specifies the page number to be used for the first read
attempt.

SEARCH ACCESS—The SEARCH ACCESS command is used to either access a device using the
Search ROM command or to identify the devices on the active segments of a 1-Wire Network. Embedded
command bit SM is used to specify the type of search. Embedded command bit RTS is used to control
discrepancy information reporting. Additionally, embedded command bit F can be used to clear the
Communication command buffer and EP2/3 FIFOs if an error occurs during execution of the command.
An NRS error code indicates that there was no response on at least one of the 64 bits of the ROM search.
The EP2 FIFO must be pre-filled with ROM ID data before command execution. To prevent overflow,
the EP3 FIFO must be monitored (and read if necessary) during command execution if returning more
data than the size of the EP3 FIFO.

Command parameters: 2 bytes: 1 byte 1-Wire command (Search ROM or Conditional Search
ROM), 1 byte for number of devices. The number of devices byte
specifies the maximum number of devices to be discovered in a single
command call. A value of 0x00 indicates that all devices on the 1-Wire
Network are to be discovered.

DEVICE FEEDBACK
DS2490 state and result feedback are provided to the host over the EP1 interrupt pipe. The host interrupt
polling period for EP1 transfers is controlled by the alternate setting of the 1-Wire USB Interface as
described in the section: 1-Wire Interface Summary Description. As shown in Table 15, up to 32 bytes of
feedback data are returned. As a minimum, 16 bytes of STATE REGISTER data will be delivered at each
polling interval (or USB IN transaction to EP1); the position and definition of these data values are listed
in Table 16. In addition, as shown in Table 17, between 0 and 16 extra bytes of RESULT REGISTER
data will be delivered with feedback data. This consists of communication command processing result
data as controlled by the embedded communication command bits ICP and NTF and notification bytes for
1-Wire device arrival detection. If there are less than 32 bytes of result and state register data to return,
the DS2490 will terminate the IN transaction with a short or zero data packet.

Data is loaded into the RESULT REGISTER buffer based on embedded communication command bits
NTF and ICP or upon detection of a 1-Wire device attachment. There is no defined offset position for
data values in this buffer. Knowledge of communication command ordering sent to the DS2490 must be
maintained on the host to properly interpret the returned data values. In addition, a parse of the data is
required to determine whether or not a 1-Wire detect value is included; the value of the 1-Wire detect
byte is unique. Table 18 defines the 1-Wire detect byte and data values that result from Communication
command processing.

Notes:
1. If EP0F is set to 1, the Endpoint 0 FIFO was full when a new control transfer setup packet was
received. This is an error condition in that the setup packet received is discarded due to the full
condition. To recover from this state the USB host must send a CTL_RESET_DEVICE command; the
device will also recover with a power on reset cycle. Note that the DS2490 will accept and process a
CTL_RESET_DEVICE command if the EP0F = 1 state occurs. If EP0F = 0, no FIFO error condition
exists.

USB TRANSCEIVER
Integrated within the DS2490 is a USB-compliant bus transceiver. To comply with USB cable
termination requirements, resistors external to the DS2490 must be installed as shown in Figure 10. The
24, 1% tolerance resistors are necessary to bring the total steady state resistance of each driver to the
28 to 43 range required by the USB core specification. The 1.5k pullup resistor is required to
identify the DS2490 as a high speed USB device to the up-stream HUB. The 33pF capacitors are optional
but are useful for edge rate control and for bypassing high frequency energy to ground for EMI reduction
purposes.

SUSPEND OUTPUT
Suspend output signal ( SUSO ) operation is a function of both the USB device state of the DS2490
(configured or unconfigured) and the USB suspend state. A truth table for signal operation is listed in
Table 19. This signal could be used stand-alone or combined with other external signals to power down
circuitry external to the DS2490, such as power sources. The SUSO signal is an open drain output and
requires an external pullup.

Suspend Output Operation Table 19

Device State Suspend State SUSO

OSCILLATOR
The DS2490 requires a single 12.0MHz crystal or crystal oscillator clock source to operate. Crystals or
CMOS crystal oscillators may be used to provide clock sources. For crystals, use parallel resonant,
fundamental mode with a CL specification between 10pF and 20pF at the required frequency. Parallel
loading capacitors with a value of approximately twice CL are also required. The connection scheme
shown in Figure 11 should be used. For external CMOS crystal oscillators, make a connection directly to
the DS2490 XI input. The XO output must be left floating for this arrangement.

APPENDIX 2: DS2490 COMMUNICATION COMMANDS, EMBEDDED COMMAND BITS, SETUP

PACKET ENCODING.

Communication commands contain embedded command parameter bits in the wValue field. The
definitions of bit parameters are described below.
BIT NAME DESCRIPTION
CH CH = 1 follows the chain if the page is redirected.
CH = 0 stops reading if the page is redirected.
CIB CIB = 1 prevents a strong pullup to 5V if SPU = 1 and the bit read back from the 1-
Wire bus is 1.
CIB = 0 generally enables the strong pullup to 5V.
PS PS = 1 reduces the preamble size to 2 bytes (rather than 3).
PS = 0 sets preamble size to 3 bytes.
D Data bit value to be written to the 1-Wire bus.
DT DT = 1 activates/selects the CRC16 generator
DT = 0 specifies no CRC.
F F = 1 clears the buffers in case an error occurred during the execution of the previous
command; requires that ICP = 0 in the previous command.
F = 0 prevents the buffers from being cleared.
ICP ICP = 1 indicates that the command is not the last one of a macro; as a consequence
command processing result feedback messages are suppressed.
ICP = 0 indicates that the command is the last one of a macro or single command
operation; enables command processing result feedback signaling.
IM IM = 1 enables immediate execution of the command. Assumes that all 1-Wire device
data required by the command has been received at EP2.
IM = 0 prevents immediate execution of the command; execution must be started
through a control function command.
NTF NTF = 1 always generate communication command processing result feedback if ICP =
0
NTF = 0 generate communication command processing result feedback only if an error
occurs and ICP = 0.
If ICP = 1 command result feedback is suppressed for either case, see the ICP bit above.
39 of 50
 DS2490

BIT NAME DESCRIPTION

PST PST = 1 continuously generate 1-Wire Reset sequences until a presence pulse is
discovered.
PST = 0 generate only one 1-Wire Reset sequence.
R R = 1 performs a read function.
R = 0 performs a write function.
RST RST = 1 inserts a 1-Wire Reset before executing the command.
RST = 0 no 1-Wire Reset inserted.
RTS RTS = 1 returns the discrepancy information to the host if SM = 1 and there are more
devices than could be discovered in the current pass.
RTS = 0 does not return discrepancy information.
SE SE = 1 enable the speed change on the 1-Wire bus.
SE = 0 disable the speed change on the 1-Wire bus.
SM SM = 1 searches for and reports ROM Ids without really accessing a particular device.
SM = 0 makes a “Strong Access” to a particular device.
SPU SPU = 1 inserts a strong pullup to 5V after a Bit or Byte or Block I/O or Do & Release
command.
SPU = 0 no strong pullup.
Z Z = 1 checks if the 0-bits in the byte to be written are 0-bits in the byte read back form
the device.
Z = 0 checks if the byte to be written is identical to the one read back from the device.
