PRODUCTION DATA
The single wire communication does not have a reference clock, and adhering to stringent timing protocols to maintain the data integrity is critical. The timing protocol (compatible with 1-wire® protocol) consists of four types of signaling:
The host initiates the communication by pulling the SDQ single-wire serial interface line low, except for the presence pulse, which is initiated by the target devices on the SDQ single-wire serial interface bus. The target devices can communicate at two different speeds: standard and overdrive. The target device by default only communicates at standard speed unless the device is set into the Overdrive mode, in which case the target device responds to commands issued in the Overdrive timing (fast timing). All of the timing waveforms below are applicable to both Standard timing and Overdrive timing.
All SDQ single-wire serial interface signaling begins with initializing the device, followed by the host driving the bus low either to write a 1 or 0, or to begin the start frame for a bit read. Reset Sequence Timing Diagram shows the initialization timing, whereas Write-One Timing Diagram, Write-Zero Timing Diagram, and Read-Data Timing Diagram show that the host initiates each bit by driving the SDQ single-wire serial interface bus low for the start period, tW1L / tW0L / tRL. After the bit is initiated, either the host continues controlling the bus during a WRITE, or the target device controls the bus to transfer a 0 bit during a READ.
