Detailed description

6.1

•

Protocol: to digitally communicate over a single cable with single-wire components

•

Single-wire's 3 components:

1.

an external MCU

2.

wiring and associated connectors

3.

the STOD03AS device with a dedicated single-wire pin.

6.1.1

•

Fully digital signal

•

No handshake needed

•

Protection against glitches and spikes though an internal low pass filter acting on falling

edges

•

Uses a single wire (plus analog ground) to accomplish both communication and power

control transmission

•

Simplified design with an interface protocol that supplies control and signaling over a

single-wire connection to set the output voltages.

6.1.2

•

Single-wire protocol uses conventional CMOS/TTL logic levels (maximum 0.6 V for

logic “zero” and a minimum 1.2 V for logic “one”) with operation specified over a supply

voltage range of 2.5 V to 4.5 V

•

Both master (MCU) and slave (STOD03AS) are configured to permit bit sequential data

to flow only in one direction at a time; master initiates and controls the device

•

Data is bit-sequential with a START bit and a STOP bit

•

Signal is transferred in real time

•

System clock is not required; each single-wire pulse is self-clocked by the oscillator

integrated in the master and is asserted valid within a frequency range of 250 kHz

(maximum).

6.1.3

•

The negative output voltage levels are selectable within a wide range (steps of 100 mV)

•
