iButton DESCRIPTION
The DS1986 64-kbit Add-Only iButton is a rugged read/write data carrier that identifies and stores
relevant information about the product or person to which it is attached. This information can be accessed
with minimal hardware, for example a single port pin of a microcontroller. The DS1986 consists of a
factory-lasered registration number that includes a unique 48-bit serial number, an 8-bit CRC, and an
8-bit Family Code (0Fh) plus 64 kbit of EPROM which is user-programmable. The power to program and
read the DS1986 is derived entirely from the 1-Wire communication line. Data is transferred serially via
the 1-Wire protocol which requires only a single data lead and a ground return. The entire device can be
programmed and then write-protected if desired. Alternatively, the part may be programmed multiple
times with new data being appended to, but not overwriting, existing data with each subsequent
programming of the device. Note: Individual bits can be changed only from a logical 1 to a logical 0,
never from a logical 0 to a logical 1. A provision is also included for indicating that a certain page or
pages of data are no longer valid and have been replaced with new or updated data that is now residing at
an alternate page address. This page address redirection allows software to patch data and enhance the
flexibility of the device as a standalone database. The 48-bit serial number that is factory-lasered into
each DS1986 provides a guaranteed unique identity which allows for absolute traceability. The durable
MicroCan package is highly resistant to harsh environments such as dirt, moisture, and shock. Its compact
button-shaped profile is self-aligning with cup-shaped receptacles, allowing the DS1986 to be used easily
by human operators or automatic equipment. Accessories permit the DS1986 to be mounted on printed
circuit boards, plastic key fobs, photo-ID badges, ID bracelets, and many other objects. Applications
include work-in-progress tracking, electronic travelers, access control, storage of calibration constants,
and debit tokens.
OVERVIEW
The block diagram in Figure 1 shows the relationships between the major control and memory sections of
the DS1986. The DS1986 has three main data components: 1) 64-bit lasered ROM, 2) 65536 bits
EPROM Data Memory, and 3) 2816 bits EPROM Status Memory. The device derives its power for read
operations entirely from the 1-Wire communication line by storing energy on an internal capacitor during
periods of time when the signal line is high and continues to operate off of this “parasite” power source
during the low times of the 1-Wire line until it returns high to replenish the parasite (capacitor) supply.
During programming, 1-Wire communication occurs at normal voltage levels and then is pulsed
momentarily to the programming voltage to cause the selected EPROM bits to be programmed. The 1Wire line must be able to provide 12 volts and 10 milliamperes to adequately program the EPROM
portions of the part. Whenever programming voltages are present on the 1-Wire line a special high
voltage detect circuit within the DS1986 generates an internal logic signal to indicate this condition. The
hierarchical structure of the 1-Wire protocol is shown in Figure 2. The bus master must first provide one
of the six ROM Function Commands, 1) Read ROM, 2) Match ROM, 3) Search ROM, 4) Skip ROM, 5)
Overdrive-Skip ROM, or 6) Overdrive-Match ROM. Upon completion of an Overdrive ROM command
byte executed at regular speed, the device will enter the Overdrive mode where all subsequent
communication occurs at a higher speed. These commands operate on the 64-bit lasered ROM portion of
each device and can singulate a specific device if many are present on the 1-Wire line as well as indicate
to the bus master how many and what types of devices are present. The protocol required for these ROM
2 of 27
DS1986
Function Commands is described in Figure 8. After a ROM Function Command is successfully executed,
the memory functions that operate on the EPROM portions of the DS1986 become accessible and the bus
master may issue any one of the five Memory Function Commands specific to the DS1986 to read or
program the various data fields. The protocol for these Memory Function Commands is described in
Figure 5. All data is read and written least significant bit first.
64-BIT LASERED ROM
Each DS1986 contains a unique ROM code that is 64 bits long. The first eight bits are a 1-Wire family
code. The next 48 bits are a unique serial number. The last eight bits are a CRC of the first 56 bits. (See
Figure 3.) The 64-bit ROM and ROM Function Control section allow the DS1986 to operate as a 1-Wire
device and follow the 1-Wire protocol detailed in the section “1-Wire Bus System”. The memory
functions required to read and program the EPROM sections of the DS1986 are not accessible until the
ROM function protocol has been satisfied. This protocol is described in the ROM functions flow chart
(Figure 8). The 1-Wire bus master must first provide one of six ROM function commands: 1) Read ROM,
2) Match ROM, 3) Search ROM, or 4) Skip ROM, 5) Overdrive-Skip ROM, or 6) Overdrive-Match
ROM. After a ROM function sequence has been successfully executed, the bus master may then provide
any one of the memory function commands specific to the DS1986 (Figure 5).
The 1-Wire CRC of the lasered ROM is generated using the polynomial X8 + X5 + X4 + 1. Additional
information about the Dallas Semiconductor 1-Wire Cyclic Redundancy Check is available in the Book
of DS19xx iButton Standards. The shift register acting as the CRC accumulator is initialized to zero.
Then starting with the least significant bit of the family code, one bit at a time is shifted in. After the
eighth bit of the family code has been entered, then the serial number is entered. After the 48th bit of the
serial number has been entered, the shift register contains the CRC value. Shifting in the eight bits of
CRC should return the shift register to all zeroes.

65536-BITS EPROM
The memory map in Figure 4 shows the 65536-bit EPROM section of the DS1986 which is configured as
256 pages of 32 bytes each. The 8-bit scratchpad is an additional register that acts as a buffer when
programming the memory. Data is first written to the scratchpad and then verified by reading an 16-bit
CRC from the DS1986 that confirms proper receipt of the data and address. If the buffer contents are
correct, a programming voltage should be applied and the byte of data will be written into the selected
address in memory. This process ensures data integrity when programming the memory. The details for
reading and programming the 65536-bit EPROM portion of the DS1986 are given in the Memory
Function Commands section.

DS1986
EPROM STATUS BYTES
In addition to the 65536 bits of data memory the DS1986 provides 2816 bits of Status Memory accessible
with separate commands.
The EPROM Status Bytes can be read or programmed to indicate various conditions to the software
interrogating the DS1986. The first 32 bytes of the EPROM Status Memory (addresses 000 to 01FH)
contain the Write Protect Page bits which inhibit programming of the corresponding page in the 65536-bit
main memory area if the appropriate write protection bit is programmed. Once a bit has been
programmed in the Write Protect Page section of the Status Memory, the entire 32 byte page that
corresponds to that bit can no longer be altered but may still be read.
The next 32 bytes of the EPROM Status Memory (addresses 020 to 03FH) contain the Write Protect bits
which inhibit altering the Page Address Redirection Byte corresponding to each page in the 65536-bit
main memory area.
The following 32 bytes within the EPROM Status Memory (addresses 040 to 05FH) are reserved for use
by the iButton operating software TMEX. Their purpose is to indicate which memory pages are already in
use. Originally, all of these bits are unprogrammed, indicating that the device does not store any data. As
soon as data is written to any page of the device under control of TMEX, the bit inside this bitmap
corresponding to that page will be programmed to 0, marking this page as used. These bits are application
flags only and have no impact on the internal logic of the DS1986.
The next 256 bytes of the EPROM Status Memory (addresses 100H to 1FFH) contain the Page Address
Redirection Bytes which indicate if one or more of the pages of data in the 65536-bit EPROM section
have been invalidated by software and redirected to the page address contained in the appropriate
redirection byte. The hardware of the DS1986 makes no decisions based on the contents of the Page
address Redirection Bytes. Since with EPROM technology bits can only be changed from a logical 1 to a
logical 0 by programming, it is not possible to simply rewrite a page if the data requires changing or
updating. But with space permitting, an entire page of data can be redirected to another page within the
DS1986. Under TMEX a page is redirected by writing the one’s complement of the new page address into
the Page Address Redirection Byte that corresponds to the original (replaced) page. This architecture
allows the user’s software to make a “data patch” to the EPROM by indicating that a particular page or
pages should be replaced with those indicated in the Page Address Redirection Bytes. To leave an
authentic audit trail of data patches, it is recommended to also program the write protect bit of the Page
Address Redirection Byte, after the page redirection is programmed. Without this protection, it is still
possible to modify the Page Address Redirection Byte, making it point to a different memory page than
the true one.
If a Page Address Redirection Byte has a FFH value, the data in the main memory that corresponds to that
page is valid. If a Page Address Redirection Byte has some other hex value than FFH, the data in the page
corresponding to that redirection byte is invalid. According to the TMEX definitions the valid data can
now be found at the one’s complement of the page address indicated by the hex value stored in the
associated Page Address Redirection Byte. A value of FDH in the redirection byte for page 1, for
example, would indicate that the updated data is now in page 2. The status memory is programmed
similarly to the data memory. Details for reading and programming the EPROM status memory portion of
the DS1986 are given in the Memory Function Commands section.
The Status Memory address range of the DS1986 extends from 000 to 1FFH. The memory locations 60H
to 0FFH and 200H and higher are physically not implemented. Reading these locations will usually result
in FFH bytes. Attempts to write to these locations will be ignored.

MEMORY FUNCTION COMMANDS
The “Memory Function Flow Chart” (Figure 5) describes the protocols necessary for accessing the
various data fields within the DS1986. The Memory Function Control section, 8-bit scratchpad, and the
Program Voltage Detect circuit combine to interpret the commands issued by the bus master and create
the correct control signals within the device. A three-byte protocol is issued by the bus master. It is
comprised of a command byte to determine the type of operation and two address bytes to determine the
specific starting byte location within a data field. The command byte indicates if the device is to be read
or written. Writing data involves not only issuing the correct command sequence but also providing a 127 of 27
DS1986
volt programming voltage at the appropriate times. To execute a write sequence, a byte of data is first
loaded into the scratchpad and then programmed into the selected address. Write sequences always occur
a byte at a time. To execute a read sequence, the starting address is issued by the bus master and data is
read from the part beginning at that initial location and continuing to the end of the selected data field or
until a reset sequence is issued. All bits transferred to the DS1986 and received back by the bus master
are sent least significant bit first.
READ MEMORY [F0H]
The Read Memory command is used to read data from the 65536-bits EPROM data field. The bus master
follows the command byte with a two byte address (TA1=(T7:T0), TA2=(T15:T8)) that indicates a
starting byte location within the data field. With every subsequent read data time slot the bus master
receives data from the DS1986 starting at the initial address and continuing until the end of the 65536-bits
data field is reached or until a Reset Pulse is issued. If reading occurs through the end of memory space,
the bus master may issue sixteen additional read time slots and the DS1986 will respond with a 16-bit
CRC of the command, address bytes and all data bytes read from the initial starting byte through the last
byte of memory. This CRC is the result of clearing the CRC generator and then shifting in the command
byte followed by the two address bytes and the data bytes beginning at the first addressed memory
location and continuing through to the last byte of the EPROM data memory. After the CRC is received
by the bus master, any subsequent read time slots will appear as logical 1s until a Reset Pulse is issued.
Any reads ended by a Reset Pulse prior to reaching the end of memory will not have the 16-bit CRC
available.
Typically a 16-bit CRC would be stored with each page of data to ensure rapid, error-free data transfers
that eliminate having to read a page multiple times to determine if the received data is correct or not. (See
Book of DS19xx iButton Standards, Chapter 7 for the recommended file structure to be used with the 1Wire environment.) If CRC values are imbedded within the data, a Reset Pulse may be issued at the end
of memory space during a Read Memory command.
READ STATUS [AAH]
The Read Status command is used to read data from the EPROM Status data field. The bus master
follows the command byte with a two byte address (TA1=(T7:T0), TA2=(T15:T8)) that indicates a
starting byte location within the data field. With every subsequent read data time slot the bus master
receives data from the DS1986 starting at the supplied address and continuing until the end of an eightbyte page of the EPROM Status data field is reached. At that point the bus master will receive a 16-bit
CRC of the command byte, address bytes and status data bytes. This CRC is computed by the DS1986
and read back by the bus master to check if the command word, starting address and data were received
correctly. If the CRC read by the bus master is incorrect, a Reset Pulse must be issued and the entire
sequence must be repeated.
Note that the initial pass through the Read Status flow chart will generate a 16-bit CRC value that is the
result of clearing the CRC generator and then shifting in the command byte followed by the two address
bytes, and finally the data bytes beginning at the first addressed memory location and continuing through
to the last byte of the addressed EPROM Status data page. The last byte of a Status data page always has
an ending address of xx7 or xxFH. Subsequent passes through the Read Status flow chart will generate a
16-bit CRC that is the result of clearing the CRC generator and then shifting in the new data bytes starting
at the first byte of the next page of the EPROM Status data field.
This feature is provided since the EPROM Status information may change over time making it impossible
to program the data once and include an accompanying CRC that will always be valid. Therefore, the
Read Status command supplies a 16-bit CRC that is based on and always is consistent with the current
data stored in the EPROM Status data field.

After the 16-bit CRC of the last EPROM Status data page is read, the bus master will receive logical 1s
from the DS1986 until a Reset Pulse is issued. The Read Status command sequence can be ended at any
point by issuing a Reset Pulse.
EXTENDED READ MEMORY [A5H]
The Extended Read Memory command supports page redirection when reading data from the 65536-bit
EPROM data field. One major difference between the Extended Read Memory and the basic Read
Memory command is that the bus master receives the Redirection Byte first before investing time in
reading data from the addressed memory location. This allows the bus master to quickly decide whether
to continue and access the data at the selected starting page or to terminate and restart the reading process
at the redirected page address. A non-redirected page is identified by a Redirection Byte with a value of
FFH (see description of EPROM Status Bytes). If the Redirection Byte is different than this, the master
has to complement it to obtain the new page number. Multiplying the page number by 32 (20H) results in
the new address the master has to send to the DS1986 to read the updated data replacing the old data.
There is no logical limitation in the number of redirections of any page. The only limit is the number of
available memory pages within the DS1986.
In addition to page redirection, the Extended Read Memory command also supports “bit-oriented”
applications where the user cannot store a 16-bit CRC with the data itself. With bit-oriented applications
the EPROM information may change over time within a page boundary making it impossible to include
an accompanying CRC that will always be valid. Therefore, the Extended Read Memory command
concludes each page with the DS1986 generating and supplying a 16-bit CRC that is based on and
therefore always consistent with the current data stored in each page of the 65536-bit EPROM data field.
After having sent the command code of the Extended Read Memory command, the bus master follows
the command byte with a two byte address (TA1=(T7:T0), TA2=(T15:T8)) that indicates a starting byte
location within the data field. By sending eight read data time slots, the master receives the Redirection
Byte associated with the page given by the starting address.
With the next sixteen read data time slots, the bus master receives a 16-bit CRC of the command byte,
address bytes and the Redirection Byte. This CRC is computed by the DS1986 and read back by the bus
master to check if the command word, starting address and Redirection Byte were received correctly.
If the CRC read by the bus master is incorrect, a Reset Pulse must be issued and the entire sequence must
be repeated. If the CRC received by the bus master is correct, the bus master issues read time slots and
receives data from the DS1986 starting at the initial address and continuing until the end of a 32-byte
page is reached. At that point the bus master will send sixteen additional read time slots and receive a 16bit CRC that is the result of shifting into the CRC generator all of the data bytes from the initial starting
byte to the last byte of the current page.
With the next 24 read data time slots the master will receive the Redirection Byte of the next page
followed by a 16-bit CRC of the Redirection Byte. After this, data is again read from the 65536-bit
EPROM data field starting at the beginning of the new page. This sequence will continue until the final
page and its accompanying CRC are read by the bus master.
The Extended Read Memory command provides a 16-bit CRC at two locations within the transaction
flow chart: 1) after the Redirection Byte and 2) at the end of each memory page. The CRC at the end of
the memory page is always the result of clearing the CRC generator and shifting in the data bytes
beginning at the first addressed memory location of the EPROM data page until the last byte of this page.
With the initial pass through the Extended Read Memory flow chart the 16-bit CRC value is the result of
12 of 27
DS1986
shifting the command byte into the cleared CRC generator, followed by the two address bytes and the
Redirection Byte. Subsequent passes through the Extended Read Memory flow chart will generate a 16bit CRC that is the result of clearing the CRC generator and then shifting in the Redirection Byte only.
After the 16-bit CRC of the last page is read, the bus master will receive logical 1s from the DS1986 until
a Reset Pulse is issued. The Extended Read Memory command sequence can be exited at any point by
issuing a Reset Pulse.
WRITING EPROM MEMORY
The DS1986 has two independent EPROM memory fields, Data Memory and Status Memory. The
function flow for writing either field is almost identical. After the appropriate write command has been
issued, the bus master will send a two-byte starting address (TA1=(T7:T0), TA2=(T15:T8)) and a byte of
data (D7:D0). A 16-bit CRC of the command byte, address bytes, and data byte is computed by the
DS1986 and read back by the bus master to confirm that the correct command word, starting address, and
data byte were received.
If the CRC read by the bus master is incorrect, a Reset Pulse must be issued and the entire sequence must
be repeated. If the CRC received by the bus master is correct, a programming pulse (12 volts on the 1Wire bus for 480 µs) is issued by the bus master. Prior to programming, the entire EPROM memory field
will appear as logical 1s. For each bit in the data byte provided by the bus master that is set to a logical 0,
the corresponding bit in the selected byte of the EPROM memory is programmed to a logical 0 after the
programming pulse has been applied.
After the 480 µs programming pulse is applied and the data line returns to the idle level (5 Volts), the bus
master issues eight read time slots to verify that the appropriate bits have been programmed. The DS1986
responds with the data from the selected EPROM address sent least significant bit first. This byte contains
the bitwise logical AND of all data ever written to this address. If the EPROM byte contains 1s in bit
positions where the byte issued by the master contained 0s, a Reset Pulse should be issued and the current
byte address should be programmed again. If the DS1986 EPROM byte contains 0s in the same bit
positions as the data byte, the programming was successful and the DS1986 will automatically increment
its address counter to select the next byte in the EPROM memory field. The new two-byte address will
also be loaded into the 16-bit CRC generator as a starting value. The bus master will issue the next byte
of data using eight write time slots.
As the DS1986 receives this byte of data into the scratchpad, it also shifts the data into the CRC generator
that has been preloaded with the current address and the result is a 16-bit CRC of the new data byte and
the new address. After supplying the data byte, the bus master will read this 16-bit CRC from the DS1986
with sixteen read time slots to confirm that the address incremented properly and the data byte was
received correctly. If the CRC is incorrect, a Reset Pulse must be issued and the write sequence must be
restarted. If the CRC is correct, the bus master will issue a programming pulse and the selected byte in
memory will be programmed.
Note that the initial pass through the write flow chart will generate an 16-bit CRC value that is the result
of shifting the command byte into the CRC generator, followed by the two address bytes, and finally the
data byte. Subsequent passes through the write flow chart due to the DS1986 automatically incrementing
its address counter will generate a 16-bit CRC that is the result of loading (not shifting) the new
(incremented) address into the CRC generator and then shifting in the new data byte.
For both of these cases, the decision to continue (to apply a program pulse to the DS1986) is made
entirely by the bus master, since the DS1986 will not be able to determine if the 16-bit CRC calculated by
13 of 27
DS1986
the bus master agrees with the 16-bit CRC calculated by the DS1986. If an incorrect CRC is ignored and
a program pulse is applied by the bus master, incorrect programming could occur within the DS1986.
Also note that the DS1986 will always increment its internal address counter after the receipt of the eight
read time slots used to confirm the programming of the selected EPROM byte. The decision to continue is
again made entirely by the bus master. Therefore if the EPROM data byte does not match the supplied
data byte but the master continues with the write command, incorrect programming could occur within
the DS1986. The write command sequence can be ended at any point by issuing a Reset Pulse.
WRITE MEMORY [0FH]/SPEED WRITE MEMORY [F3H]
The Write Memory command is used to program the 65536-bit EPROM data field. The details of the
functional flow chart are described in the section “WRITING EPROM MEMORY”.
The data memory address range is 0000H to 1FFFH. If the bus master sends a starting address higher than
this, the three most significant address bits are set to zeros by the internal circuitry of the chip. This will
result in a mismatch between the CRC calculated by the DS1986 and the CRC calculated by the bus
master, indicating an error condition.
To save time when writing more than one consecutive byte of the DS1986’s data memory it is possible to
omit reading the 16-bit CRC which allows verification of data and address before the data is copied to the
EPROM memory. At regular speed this saves 16 time slots or 976 µs for every byte to be programmed.
This speed programming mode is accessed with the command code F3H instead of 0FH. It follows
basically the same flow chart as the Write Memory command, but skips sending the CRC immediately
preceding the program pulse. This command should only be used if the electrical contact between bus
master and the DS1986 is firm since a poor contact may result in corrupted data inside the EPROM
memory.
WRITE STATUS [55H]/ SPEED WRITE STATUS [F5H]
The Write Status command is used to program the 2816-bit EPROM Status Memory field. The details of
the functional flow chart are described in the section “WRITING EPROM MEMORY”.
The Status Memory address range is 0000H to 01FFH. Attempts to write to the not implemented status
memory locations will be ignored. If the bus master sends a starting address higher than 1FFFH, the three
most significant address bits are set to zeros by the internal circuitry of the chip. This will result in a
mismatch between the CRC calculated by the DS1986 and the CRC calculated by the bus master,
indicating an error condition.
To save time when writing more than one consecutive byte of the DS1986’s status memory it is possible
to omit reading the 16-bit CRC which allows verification of data and address before the data is copied to
the EPROM memory. At regular speed this saves 16 time slots or 976 µs for every byte to be
programmed. This speed-programming mode is accessed with the command code F5H instead of 55H. It
follows basically the same flow chart as the Write Status command, but skips sending the CRC
immediately preceding the program pulse. This command should only be used if the electrical contact
between bus master and the DS1986 is firm since a poor contact may result in corrupted data inside the
EPROM status memory.
1-WIRE BUS SYSTEM
The 1-Wire bus is a system which has a single bus master and one or more slaves. In all instances, the
DS1986 is a slave device. The bus master is typically a microcontroller. The discussion of this bus
system is broken down into three topics: hardware configuration, transaction sequence, and 1-Wire
signaling (signal type and timing). A 1-Wire protocol defines bus transactions in terms of the bus state
14 of 27
DS1986
during specified time slots that are initiated on the falling edge of sync pulses from the bus master. For a
more detailed protocol description, refer to Chapter 4 of the Book of DS19xx iButton Standards.
Hardware Configuration
The 1-Wire bus has only a single line by definition; it is important that each device on the bus be able to
drive it at the appropriate time. To facilitate this, each device attached to the 1-Wire bus must have an
open drain connection or 3-state outputs. The DS1986 is an open drain part with an internal circuit
equivalent to that shown in Figure 6. The bus master can be the same equivalent circuit. If a bidirectional
pin is not available, separate output and input pins can be tied together.
The bus master requires a pull-up resistor at the master end of the bus, with the bus master circuit
equivalent to the one shown in Figures 7a and 7b. The value of the pull-up resistor should be
approximately 5kΩ for short line lengths.
A multidrop bus consists of a 1-Wire bus with multiple slaves attached. At regular speed the 1-Wire bus
has a maximum data rate of 16.3k bits per second. The speed can be boosted to 142k bits per second by
activating the Overdrive mode. If the bus master is also required to perform programming of the EPROM
portions of the DS1986, a programming supply capable of delivering up to 10 milliamps at 12 volts for
480 µs is required. The idle state for the 1-Wire bus is high. If, for any reason, a transaction needs to be
suspended, the bus MUST be left in the idle state if the transaction is to resume. If this does not occur and
the bus is left low for more than 16 µs (overdrive speed) or more than 120 µs (regular speed), one or more
of the devices on the bus may be reset.
Transaction Sequence
The sequence for accessing the DS1986 via the 1-Wire port is as follows:
§
Initialization
§
ROM Function Command
§
Memory Function Command
§
Read/Write Memory/Status
INITIALIZATION
All transactions on the 1-Wire bus begin with an initialization sequence. The initialization sequence
consists of a reset pulse transmitted by the bus master followed by a presence pulse(s) transmitted by the
slave(s).
The presence pulse lets the bus master know that the DS1986 is on the bus and is ready to operate. For
more details, see the “1-Wire Signaling” section.
ROM FUNCTION COMMANDS
Once the bus master has detected a presence, it can issue one of the six ROM function commands. All
ROM function commands are eight bits long. A list of these commands follows (refer to flowchart in
Figure 8):
15 of 27
DS1986
Read ROM [33H]
This command allows the bus master to read the DS1986’s 8-bit family code, unique 48-bit serial
number, and 8-bit CRC. This command can be used only if there is a single DS1986 on the bus. If more
than one slave is present on the bus, a data collision will occur when all slaves try to transmit at the same
time (open drain will produce a wired-AND result). The resultant family code and 48-bit serial number
will usually result in a mismatch of the CRC.
Match ROM [55H]
The match ROM command, followed by a 64-bit ROM sequence, allows the bus master to address a
specific DS1986 on a multidrop bus. Only the DS1986 that exactly matches the 64-bit ROM sequence
will respond to the subsequent memory function command. All slaves that do not match the 64-bit ROM
sequence will wait for a reset pulse. This command can be used with a single or multiple devices on the
bus.
Skip ROM [CCH]
This command can save time in a single drop bus system by allowing the bus master to access the
memory functions without providing the 64-bit ROM code. If more than one slave is present on the bus
and a read command is issued following the Skip ROM command, data collision will occur on the bus as
multiple slaves transmit simultaneously (open drain pull-downs will produce a wired-AND result).
Search ROM [F0H]
When a system is initially brought up, the bus master might not know the number of devices on the 1Wire bus or their 64-bit ROM codes. The search ROM command allows the bus master to use a process
of elimination to identify the 64-bit ROM codes of all slave devices on the bus. The ROM search process
is the repetition of a simple 3-step routine: read a bit, read the complement of the bit, then write the
desired value of that bit. The bus master performs this simple, 3-step routine on each bit of the ROM.
After one complete pass, the bus master knows the contents of the ROM in one device. The remaining
number of devices and their ROM codes may be identified by additional passes. See Chapter 5 of the
Book of DS19xx iButton Standards for a comprehensive discussion of a ROM search, including an actual
example.

DS1986
Overdrive Skip ROM [3CH]
On a single-drop bus this command can save time by allowing the bus master to access the memory
functions without providing the 64-bit ROM code. Unlike the normal Skip ROM command the Overdrive
Skip ROM sets the DS1986 in the Overdrive Mode (OD=1). All communication following this command
has to occur at Overdrive Speed until a reset pulse of minimum 480 µs duration resets all devices on the
bus to regular speed (OD=0).
When issued on a multidrop bus this command will set all Overdrive-capable devices into Overdrive
mode. To subsequently address a specific Overdrive-capable device, a reset pulse at Overdrive speed has
to be issued followed by a Match ROM or Search ROM command sequence. This will shorten the time
for the search process. If more than one slave supporting Overdrive is present on the bus and the
Overdrive Skip ROM command is followed by a read command, data collision will occur on the bus as
multiple slaves transmit simultaneously (open drain pull-downs will produce a wired-AND result).
Overdrive Match ROM [69H]
The Overdrive Match ROM command, followed by a 64-bit ROM sequence transmitted at Overdrive
Speed, allows the bus master to address a specific DS1986 on a multidrop bus and to simultaneously set it
in Overdrive Mode. Only the DS1986 that exactly matches the 64-bit ROM sequence will respond to the
subsequent memory function command. Slaves already in Overdrive mode from a previous Overdrive
Skip or Match command will remain in Overdrive mode. All other slaves that do not match the 64-bit
ROM sequence or do not support Overdrive will return to or remain at regular speed and wait for a reset
pulse of minimum 480 µs duration. The Overdrive Match ROM command can be used with a single or
multiple devices on the bus.
1-Wire Signaling
The DS1986 requires strict protocols to ensure data integrity. The protocol consists of five types of
signaling on one line: Reset Sequence with Reset Pulse and Presence Pulse, Write 0, Write 1, Read Data
and Program Pulse. All these signals except presence pulse are initiated by the bus master. The DS1986
can communicate at two different speeds, regular speed and Overdrive Speed. If not explicitly set into the
Overdrive Mode, the DS1986 will communicate at regular speed. While in Overdrive Mode the fast
timing applies to all communication-related wave forms.
The initialization sequence required to begin any communication with the DS1986 is shown in Figure 9.
A Reset Pulse followed by a Presence Pulse indicates the DS1986 is ready to accept a ROM command.
The bus master transmits (TX) a reset pulse (tRSTL , minimum 480 µs at regular speed, 48 µs at Overdrive
Speed). The bus master then releases the line and goes into receive mode (RX). The 1-Wire bus is pulled
to a high state via the pull-up resistor. After detecting the rising edge on the data pin, the DS1986 waits
(tPDH , 15-60 µs at regular speed, 2-6 µs at overdrive speed) and then transmits the presence pulse (tPDL ,
60-240 µs at regular speed, 8-24 µs at Overdrive Speed).
A Reset Pulse of 480 µs or longer will exit the Overdrive Mode returning the device to regular speed. If
the DS1986 is in Overdrive Mode and the Reset Pulse is no longer than 80 µs the device will remain in
Overdrive Mode.

DS1986
Read/Write Time Slots
The definitions of write and read time slots are illustrated in Figure 10. All time slots are initiated by the
master driving the data line low. The falling edge of the data line synchronizes the DS1986 to the master
by triggering a delay circuit in the DS1986. During write time slots, the delay circuit determines when the
DS1986 will sample the data line. For a read data time slot, if a “0” is to be transmitted, the delay circuit
determines how long the DS1986 will hold the data line low overriding the 1 generated by the master. If
the data bit is a “1”, the iButton will leave the read data time slot unchanged.
PROGRAM PULSE
To copy data from the 8-bit scratchpad to the EPROM Data or Status Memory, a program pulse of 12
volts is applied to the data line after the bus master has confirmed that the CRC for the current byte is
correct. During programming, the bus master controls the transition from a state where the data line is
idling high via the pull-up resistor to a state where the data line is actively driven to a programming
voltage of 12 volts providing a minimum of 10 mA of current to the DS1986. This programming voltage
(Figure 11) should be applied for 480 µs, after which the bus master returns the data line to an idle high
state controlled by the pull-up resistor. Note that due to the high voltage programming requirements for
any 1-Wire EPROM device, it is not possible to multi-drop non-EPROM based 1-Wire devices with the
DS1986 during programming. An internal diode within the non-EPROM based 1-Wire devices will
attempt to clamp the data line at approximately 8 volts and could potentially damage these devices.

CRC GENERATION
With the DS1986 there are two different types of CRCs (Cyclic Redundancy Checks). One CRC is a 8-bit
type and is stored in the most significant byte of the 64-bit ROM. The bus master can compute a CRC
value from the first 56 bits of the 64-bit ROM and compare it to the value stored within the DS1986 to
determine if the ROM data has been received error-free by the bus master. The equivalent polynomial
function of this CRC is: X8 + X5 + X4 + 1. This 8-bit CRC is received in the true (non-inverted) form when
reading the ROM of the DS1986. It is computed once at the factory and lasered into the ROM.
23 of 27
DS1986
The other CRC is a 16-bit type, generated according to the standardized CRC16-polynomial function X16
+ X15 + X2 + 1. This CRC is used to safeguard user-defined EPROM data when reading data memory or
status memory. It is the same type of CRC as is used with NVRAM based iButtons to safeguard data
packets of the iButton File Structure. In contrast to the 8-bit CRC, the 16-bit CRC is always returned in
the complemented (inverted) form. A CRC-generator inside the DS1986 chip (Figure 12) will calculate a
new 16-bit CRC at every situation shown in the command flow chart of Figure 5.
The DS1986 provides this CRC-value to the bus master to validate the transfer of command, address, and
data to and from the bus master. When reading the data memory of the DS1986 with the Read Memory
command, the 16-bit CRC is only transmitted as the end of the memory is reached. This CRC is
generated by clearing the CRC generator, shifting in the command, low address, high address and every
data byte starting at the first addressed memory location and continuing until the end of the implemented
data memory is reached.
When reading the status memory with the Read Status command, the 16-bit CRC is transmitted when the
end of each 8-byte page of the status memory is reached. At the initial pass through the Read Status flow
chart the 16-bit CRC will be generated by clearing the CRC generator, shifting in the command byte, low
address, high address and the data bytes beginning at the first addressed memory location and continuing
until the last byte of the addressed EPROM Status data page is reached. Subsequent passes through the
Read Status flow chart will generate a 16-bit CRC that is the result of clearing the CRC generator and
then shifting in the new data bytes starting at the first byte of the next page of the EPROM Status data
field and continuing until the last byte of the page is reached.
When reading the data memory of the DS1986 with the Extended Read Memory command, there are two
situations where a 16-bit CRC is transmitted. One 16-bit CRC follows each Redirection Byte, another 16bit CRC is received after the last byte of a memory data page is read. The CRC at the end of the memory
page is always the result of clearing the CRC generator and shifting in the data bytes beginning at the first
addressed memory location of the EPROM data page until the last byte of this page. With the initial pass
through the Extended Read Memory flow chart the 16-bit CRC value is the result of shifting the
command byte into the cleared CRC generator, followed by the two address bytes and the Redirection
Byte. Subsequent passes through the Extended Read Memory flow chart will generate a 16-bit CRC that
is the result of clearing the CRC generator and then shifting in the Redirection Byte only.
When writing to the DS1986 (either data memory or status memory), the bus master receives a 16-bit
CRC to verify the correctness of the data transfer before applying the programming pulse. With the initial
pass through the Write Memory/Status flow chart the 16-bit CRC will be generated by clearing the CRCgenerator, shifting in the command, address low, address high and the data byte. Subsequent passes
through the Write Memory/Status flow chart due to the DS1986 automatically incrementing its address
counter will generate an 16-bit CRC that is the result of loading (not shifting) the new (incremented)
address into the CRC generator and then shifting in the new data byte.
The comparison of CRC values and decision to continue with an operation are determined entirely by the
bus master. There is no circuitry on the DS1986 that prevents a command sequence from proceeding if
the CRC stored in or calculated by the DS1986 does not match the value generated by the bus master. For
more details on generating CRC values including example implementations in both hardware and
software, see the Book of DS19xx iButton Standards.
