The LinkOEM module will allow you to integrate the functionality of the iButtonLink
Link45 into your product as a 24 pin, 0.600"spacing Dual Inline Pin (DIP) plug in card, converting TTL input signals to ASCII output.
The LinkOEM Module is an advanced, intelligent serial interface for use with Dallas Semiconductor 1-Wire and iButton components. It uses superior digital and analog methods to accomplish more reliable operation on a wide variety of network topologies. It also offers many functions that simplify network communications, and some diagnostic tools as well.
The LINK has been designed to operate reliably on long and short 1-Wire busses. This is accomplished by a special analog interface design that uses matched impedances and slew rate controls, as well as smart cable pre-charge. In addition, the firmware (programming) is adaptive and makes adjustments for a variety of network parameters automatically.
The LINK was designed in cooperation with Dallas Semiconductor Corp., Dallas, Texas, who is the manufacturer of the 1-Wire and iButton devices and various accessories.
