1-Wire is a device communications bus system designed by Dallas Semiconductor Corp. that provides low-speed data, signaling, and power over a single signal.〔''(1-Wire Products )''〕 1-Wire is similar in concept to I²C, but with lower data rates and longer range. It is typically used to communicate with small inexpensive devices such as digital thermometers and weather instruments. A network of 1-Wire devices with an associated master device is called a ''MicroLAN''. One distinctive feature of the bus is the possibility of using only two wires: data and ground. To accomplish this, 1-Wire devices include an 800 pF capacitor to store charge, and to power the device during periods when the data line is active. == Usage example == Dependent on function, native 1-Wire devices are available as single components in integrated circuit and TO92 packaging, and in some cases a portable form called an ''iButton'' that resembles a watch battery. Manufacturers also produce devices more complex than a single component that use the 1-Wire bus to communicate. 1-Wire devices may be one of many components on a circuit board within a product, may be a single component within a device such as a temperature probe, or may be attached to a device being monitored. Some laboratory systems and other data acquisition and control systems connect to 1-Wire devices using cables with modular connectors or with CAT-5 cable, with the devices themselves mounted in a socket, incorporated in a small PCB, or attached to the object being monitored. In such systems, RJ11 (6P2C or 6P4C modular plugs, commonly used for telephones) are popular. Systems of sensors and actuators can be built by wiring together 1-Wire components. Each component contains all of the logic needed to operate on the 1-Wire bus. Examples include temperature loggers, timers, voltage and current sensors, battery monitors, and memory. These can be connected to a PC using a bus converter. USB, RS-232 serial, and parallel port interfaces are popular solutions for connecting the MicroLan to the host PC. 1-Wire devices can also be interfaced directly to microcontrollers from various vendors. The iButton (also known as the Dallas Key) is a mechanical packaging standard that places a 1-Wire component inside a small stainless steel "button" similar to a disk-shaped watch battery. iButtons are connected to 1-Wire bus systems by means of sockets with contacts which touch the "lid" and "base" of the canister. Alternatively, the connection can be semi-permanent with a socket the iButton clips into, but is easily removed from. The Java Ring, a ring-mounted iButton with a Java Virtual Machine compatible with the Java Card 2.0 specification within, was given to attendees of the 1998 JavaOne conference.〔''(An introduction to the Java Ring )'', by Stephen M. Curry, JavaWorld.com, April 1st, 1998.〕 Each 1-Wire chip has a unique ID code. This feature makes the chips, especially in an iButton package, suitable for use as a key to open a lock, arm and deactivate burglar alarms, authenticate computer system users, operate time clock systems, etc. iButtons have been used as Akbil smart tickets for the public transport in Istanbul. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1-Wire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
