The circuit operates as follows: At t1 the pulldown (induced by the DS2490 or a device on the bus) ends.

From this point on the 1-Wire bus is pulled high by the weak pullup current IWEAKPU provided by the

DS2490. The slope is determined by the load on the bus and the value of the pullup current. At t2 the

voltage crosses the threshold voltage VIAPO. Now the DS2490 switches over from the weak pullup

current IWEAKPU to the higher current IACTPU. As a consequence, the voltage on the bus now rises faster.

As the voltage on the bus crosses the threshold VIAPTO at t3, a timer is started. As long as this timer is on

(tAPUOT), the IACTPU current will continue to flow. After the timer is expired, the DS2490 will switch back

to the weak pullup current.

Falling Edges (DS2490-initiated)

Whenever the DS2490 begins pulling the 1-Wire bus low to initiate a time slot, for example, it first turns

off the weak pullup current IWEAKPU. Then, at regular and Overdrive speed it will generate a falling edge

at a slew rate of typically 15 V/µs. This value is acceptable for short 1-Wire busses and adequate for

communication at Overdrive speed. For MicroLAN networks of more than roughly 30 meters length,

flexible speed should always be used. One of the parameters that is adjustable at flexible speed is the

slew rate of DS2490-initiated falling edges. The effect of the slew rate control is shown in Figure 4.

As extensive tests have shown, MicroLAN networks at a length of up to 300 meters will perform best if

the fall time tF is in the range of 4 ± 0.5 µs. This translates into a slew rate of approximately 1 V/µs. This

slew rate is typically achieved by selecting a PULLDOWN SLEW RATE parameter code of 0x4 (see

MODE COMMANDS). If the actual measured fall time is longer than the target value, a parameter code

of 0x3 or lower should be used. If the fall time is shorter, a parameter code of 0x5 or higher should be
