DS2502
1 kbit Add–Only Memory
DS2502
062598 1/21
FEATURES
1024 bits Electrically Programmable Read Only
Memory (EPROM) communicates with the economy
of one signal plus ground
Unique, factory–lasered and tested 64–bit registra-
tion number (8–bit family code + 48–bit serial number
+ 8–bit CRC tester) assures absolute traceability
because no two parts are alike
Built–in multidrop controller ensures compatibility
with other MicroLAN
TM
products
EPROM partitioned into four 256–bit pages for ran-
domly accessing packetized data records
Each memory page can be permanently write–pro-
tected to prevent tampering
Device is an “add only” memory where additional data
can be programmed into EPROM without disturbing
existing data
Architecture allows software to patch data by super-
seding an old page in favor of a newly programmed
page
Reduces control, address, data, power, and program-
ming signals to a single data pin
Directly connects to a single port pin of a microproces-
sor and communicates at up to 16.3k bits per second
8–bit family code specifies DS2502 communications
requirements to reader
Presence detector acknowledges when the reader
first applies voltage

SILICON LABEL DESCRIPTION
The DS2502 1 kbit Add–Only Memory identifies and
stores relevant information about the product to which it
is associated. This lot or product–specific information
can be accessed with minimal interface–for example, a
single port pin of a microcontroller. The DS2502 con-
sists of a factory–lasered registration number that
includes a unique 48–bit serial number, an 8–bit CRC,
and an 8–bit Family Code (09h) plus 1K–bit of EPROM
which is user–programmable. The power to program
and read the DS2502 is derived entirely from the
1–Wire
TM
communication line.
