Abstract
The 'family code' embedded in the lasered read-only memory (ROM) number of each 1-Wire® device signifies a specific device type. Since each device type has different features and commands, it is imperative the 1-Wire master knows how to translate this family code into the correct commands. This document presents a method to dynamically configure the 1-Wire master to correctly communicate with a previously unknown 1-Wire device type by providing the 1-Wire master with an XML configuration file.

Introduction
The family code embedded in the lasered ROM number of each 1-Wire device signifies a specific device type. Since each device type has different features and commands, it is imperative the 1-Wire master knows how to translate this family code into the correct commands. Unfortunately, since the family code is only an 8-bit value it is impossible to encode all of the features and commands in it. Instead the 1-Wire master must make this association by different means. One method is to hardcode this association in the source code of the 1-Wire master. It can then be updated by rewriting the source code to accommodate new devices. This method is expensive, and in some cases impossible, thus relegating some 1-Wire masters to only deal with legacy devices.
This document presents a method to dynamically configure the 1-Wire master to correctly communicate with a previously unknown 1-Wire device type by providing the 1-Wire master with a configuration file. The 1-Wire master could be updated with the latest 1-Wire devices by providing a new configuration file. This document describes the format of one such configuration file utilizing XML. This document was originally created to support the IEEE 1451.4 A Smart Transducer Interface for Sensors and Actuators—Mixed-Mode Communication Protocols and Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS) Formats standards committee.
The appendix proposes a method where a generic family code (for example FD hex) could be differentiated by means of a read-only configuration memory page on the device. No devices currently implement this method.
Command Notation
It is assumed that each 1-Wire master must come with the ability to search for 1-Wire devices and read the unique ROM number associated with each device. The 8-bit family code can be extracted from the ROM number. The 1-Wire master then performs 1-Wire operations as defined by this configuration file based on the 'family-code'. By examining all 1-Wire device operations, a minimum set of commands was derived. The commands are described in Table 1 along with a suggested notation. Table 2 describes additional commands that add verification to the command sequences.
Notation | Command Description |
XX | Send the following hex byte value to the 1-Wire bus. If this hex byte is within a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) block then calculate the CRC on the result of the 1-Wire operation (see verification commands). |
{L, delay} | Delay for 'L' milliseconds |
{M} | Select the device with a 1-Wire reset, Match ROM command, and device ROM |
{P} | Prime 1-Wire power delivery (strong pullup) or to occur after the next 1-Wire byte |
{N} | Restore normal pullup |
{U} | Issued a 12-volt pulse (used in erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) programming) |
{Ax} | Supply a memory address where 'x' is a number 0,1,...representing the least significant byte (LSB) to most significant byte (MSB). For example '{A0}{A1}' would specify a 16-bit address with the least significant byte first, followed by the most significant byte. |
{Dx} | Data to write to a memory device where the 'x' is a number 0,1,...representing the LSB to MSB of the data. For example '{D0} {D1} {D2}' is three bytes of data to write. Note the master processing these commands would place the actual data into the command flow. |
{R} | Read memory bytes to end of memory. All values read are valid data, however, now verification is performed. |
Notation | Command Description |
{dx} | Data to read. This data can be for verification of data written to a memory 1-Wire device or result data such as a temperature conversion. Note it is in same format as the {Dx} command where 'x' is a number indicating the byte number with {d0} being the LSB. |
{T} | Success is reading toggling bits such as 0xAA or 0x55. |
{00} | Success is reading all 0's such as 0x00 |
{FF} | Success is reading all 1's such as 0xFF |
{CRC16,start,seed} | Start CRC16 calculation by first setting the CRC16 to the provided 'seed' represented in hex notation. All following command bytes are included in the calculation until the 'check' command is found. |
{CRC16,check,value} | Check the CRC16 calculated value to make sure it equals the provided hex 'value'. If it is not then this is a failure. The CRC16 calculation can be stopped after the check. |
{CRC8,start,seed} | Start CRC8 calculation by first setting the CRC8 to the provided 'seed' represented in hex notation. All following command bytes are included in the calculation until the 'check' command is found. |
{CRC16,check,value} | Check the CRC8 calculated value to make sure it equals the provided hex 'value'. If it is not then this is a failure. The CRC8 calculation can be stopped after the check. |

Device Types
The general types of 1-Wire devices covered by this document are memory, switch, and temperature.
The memory device has some kind of data storage memory area. It can be write-once but must support multiple reads. It is often arranged in pages and is usually written a page at a time. A memory device can have multiple banks of memory with different attributes.
The switch device can control a latch. The latch can connect the output to ground (lowside) or to the communication channel (highside). Some switch devices can also sense voltage. A switch device can have multiple channels.
The temperature device returns a temperature value in Celsius. The result is a signed value representing temperature units. The unit conversion to Celsius is provided.
Each device type contains one or more standard operations. For example each temperature device has a 'read' operation. Table 3 shows the standard operations and attributes of each device type.
Device Type | Operations | Attributes |
Memory | Read Write |
Read/Write/ReadOnly/WriteOnce Starting Physical Address Number of Pages Page Length in Bytes |
Switch | Read Latch Enable Latch Disable Latch Read Level (optional) |
High Side/Low Side |
Temperature | Read | Min Temperature Max Temperature Step (unit of Celsius returned from Read) |
The 'Setup' operation is also included in any of the device type descriptions. A 'Setup' is a command sequence that readies the device for operation. For any of the 'Read' operations there are also two attributes 'AndMask' and 'Polarity'. The 'AndMask' is a hex value that is bitwise anded with the result data described in the command sequence with {d0}. The 'Polarity' indicates that the operation is 'TRUE' if it matches the resulting value from the 'AndMask'. For example when reading the latch state (Read Latch) of a DS2406 channel A, the AndMask = "0x01" and Polarity = "0x00". So the value read from the command sequence is bitwise anded with 0x01 and if the result is 0, the latch is ON.
Configuration Format
The XML syntax was selected for the example configuration file format. Since XML is so 'eXtensible' it was easy to incorporate the device types, operations, attributes, and the actual command sequences into a human readable format. The overall 'tag' for grouping these descriptions was <DeviceDescriptions>. Within this group are individual device descriptions with a specified family code attribute, for example: <Device FamilyCode="0x23">. Each device group can contain <MemoryBank>, <SwitchChannel>, or <TemperatureChannel> groups that correspond to the device types already described. Note that some devices may have more than one channel and group. For example, the DS2406 has both memory and switch groups since it incorporates both of these features. See Figure 2 for an example XML file describing six different 1-Wire devices. Two of these devices are memory, two are switches, and two are temperature devices.

Appendix
Memory Configuration Page
The following general memory description describes an idealized memory device with a configuration page that provides all of the necessary information to utilize the remaining memory space. The configuration page could provide the device type differentiation that is currently implemented with the ROM family code but with more information conveyed. A common generic family code (for example FD hex) could be used for all devices with this configuration page.
All 1-Wire memory devices support the Read Memory command (F0 hex), and with the exception of the DS2430A, it requires 2 address bytes. For this example the Read Memory command is used to retrieve the configuration page information at a fixed address of FF7F hex. The memory location has a length byte, 26 bytes of data followed by an inverted CRC16 for validation. Table A1 provides the bit-level details of the configuration page format.
