DS1205S
PASS-THRU MODE
A host connected to the 1-wire bus may send function
commands directly to the DS1205S without preceding
them with 1-wire I/O commands by using the pass-thru
command (CCh). This command bypasses the serial
number and consequently it can only be used when
there is one DS1205S on the 1-wire bus.
1-WIRE/3-WIRE ARBITRATION
The DS1205S can utilize both the 1-wire and the 3-wire
busses simultaneously. Neither input bus has priority
over the other. Instead, if both inputs are being used, the
signal arriving first will take precedence. More simply, if
the 1-wire interface becomes active before the 3-wire in-
terface, all communications will take place on the 1-wire
bus. The 3-wire bus will be ignored in this case. The
same condition occurs for the 1-wire interface if the
3-wire interface becomes active first.
