# DS1995(3)

16kbit Memory iButton

## NAME

**DS1995** - 16kbit Memory iButton

## SYNOPSIS

Non-volatile memory.

**0A** \[.\]XXXXXXXXXXXX\[XX\]\[/\[ **memory** \| **pages/page.\[0-63\|ALL\]** \| **address** \| **crc8** \| **id** \| **locator** \| **r\_address** \| **r\_id** \| **r\_locator** \| **type** \]\]

## FAMILY CODE

- *0A*

  DS1996

## SPECIAL PROPERTIES

### memory

*read-write, binary*\
 2048 bytes of memory.

### pages/page.0 ... pages/page.63 pages/page.ALL

*read-write, binary*\
 Memory is split into 64 pages of 32 bytes each. *ALL* is an aggregate of the pages. Each page is accessed sequentially.

## STANDARD PROPERTIES

### address

### r\_address

*read-only, ascii*\
 The entire 64-bit unique ID. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).\
 *address* starts with the *family* code\
 *r address* is the *address* in reverse order, which is often used in other applications and labeling.

### crc8

*read-only, ascii*\
 The 8-bit error correction portion. Uses cyclic redundancy check. Computed from the preceding 56 bits of the unique ID number. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).

### family

*read-only, ascii*\
 The 8-bit family code. Unique to each *type* of device. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).

### id

### r\_id

*read-only, ascii*\
 The 48-bit middle portion of the unique ID number. Does not include the family code or CRC. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).\
 *r id* is the *id* in reverse order, which is often used in other applications and labeling.

### locator

### r\_locator

*read-only, ascii*\
 Uses an extension of the 1-wire design from iButtonLink company that associated 1-wire physical connections with a unique 1-wire code. If the connection is behind a **Link Locator** the *locator will show a unique 8-byte number (16 character hexadecimal) starting with family code FE.*\
 If no **Link Locator** is between the device and the master, the *locator* field will be all FF.\
 *r locator* is the *locator* in reverse order.

### present (DEPRECATED)

*read-only, yes-no*\
 Is the device currently *present* on the 1-wire bus?

### type

*read-only, ascii*\
 Part name assigned by Dallas Semi. E.g. *DS2401* Alternative packaging (iButton vs chip) will not be distiguished.

## ALARMS

None.

## DESCRIPTION

### 1-Wire

*1-wire* is a wiring protocol and series of devices designed and manufactured by Dallas Semiconductor, Inc. The bus is a low-power low-speed low-connector scheme where the data line can also provide power.

Each device is uniquely and unalterably numbered during manufacture. There are a wide variety of devices, including memory, sensors (humidity, temperature, voltage, contact, current), switches, timers and data loggers. More complex devices (like thermocouple sensors) can be built with these basic devices. There are also 1-wire devices that have encryption included.

The 1-wire scheme uses a single  *bus master* and multiple *slaves* on the same wire. The bus master initiates all communication. The slaves can be  individually discovered and addressed using their unique ID.

Bus masters come in a variety of configurations including serial, parallel, i2c, network or USB adapters.

### OWFS design

*OWFS* is a suite of programs that designed to make the 1-wire bus and its devices easily accessible. The underlying principle is to create a virtual filesystem, with the unique ID being the directory, and the individual properties of the device are represented as simple files that can be read and written.

Details of the individual slave or master design are hidden behind a consistent interface. The goal is to  provide an easy set of tools for a software designer to create monitoring or control applications. There  are some performance enhancements in the implementation, including data caching, parallel access to bus  masters, and aggregation of device communication. Still the fundamental goal has been ease of use, flexibility and correctness rather than speed.

### DS1995

The **DS1995 (3)** is an iButton with static memory. Data is read/written with error checking (transparent to the user). The **DS1992** , **DS1993** , **DS1995** , and **DS1996** differ in their function by the amount of on-board memory they possess. (The internal protocols are slightly different, but the *OWFS* system handles this automatically.)

## ADDRESSING

All 1-wire devices are factory assigned a unique 64-bit address. This address is of the form:

- **Family Code**

  8 bits

- **Address**

  48 bits

- **CRC**

  8 bits

-

  Addressing under OWFS is in hexadecimal, of form:

-

  **01.123456789ABC**

where **01** is an example 8-bit family code, and **12345678ABC** is an example 48 bit address.

The dot is optional, and the CRC code can included. If included, it must be correct.
