1024-Bit EEPROM iButton
General Description
The DS1972 is a 1024-bit, 1-Wire® EEPROM chip orga-
nized as four memory pages of 256 bits each in a
rugged iButton® package. Data is written to an 8-byte
scratchpad, verified, and then copied to the EEPROM
memory. As a special feature, the four memory pages
can individually be write protected or put in EPROM-
emulation mode, where bits can only be changed from
a 1 to a 0 state. The DS1972 communicates over the
single-conductor 1-Wire bus. The communication fol-
lows the standard 1-Wire protocol. Each device has its
own unalterable and unique 64-bit ROM registration
number that is factory lasered into the device. The reg-
istration number is used to address the device in a mul-
tidrop, 1-Wire net environment.
