As more 1-Wire® devices become available, more and more users have to deal with the demands of generating 1-Wire signals to communicate to them. This usually requires "bit-banging" a port pin on a microprocessor, and having the microprocessor perform the timing functions required for the 1-Wire
protocol. While 1-Wire transmission can be interrupted mid-byte, it cannot be interrupted during the "low" time of a bit time slot; this means that a CPU will be idled for up to 60 microseconds for each bit sent and at least 480 microseconds when generating a 1-Wire reset. The 1-Wire Master helps users handle communication to 1-Wire devices in their system without tying up valuable CPU cycles. Integrated into a user's ASIC as a 1-Wire port, the Verilog or VHDL core uses little chip area (3470 gates plus 2 bond pads).
This circuit is designed to be memory mapped into the user's system and provides complete control of the 1-Wire bus through 8-bit or single commands. The host CPU loads commands, reads and writes data, and sets interrupt control through six individual registers. All of the timing and control of the 1-Wire bus are
generated within. The host merely needs to load a command or data and then may go on about its business. When bus activity has generated a response that the CPU needs to receive, the 1-Wire Master sets a status bit and, if enabled, generates an interrupt to the CPU. In addition to write and read
simplification, the 1-Wire Master also provides a Search ROM Accelerator function relieving the CPU from having to perform the complex single-bit operations on the 1-Wire bus.
