DS2436(3)

NAME
DS2436 - Battery ID/Monitor Chip

SYNOPSIS
Temperature Voltage and Memory.

1B [.]XXXXXXXXXXXX[XX][/[ pages/page.[0-4|ALL] | temperature | volts | ]]

FAMILY CODE

1B

SPECIAL PROPERTIES

  pages/page.0 ... pages/page.4 pages/page.ALL
read-write, binary
Memory is split into 5 pages of 32 bytes each. Only the first 3 pages are really available, and some of that appears to be reserved. See the datasheet for details.
ALL is an aggregate of the pages. Each page is accessed sequentially.

  temperature
read-only, floating point
Temperature read by the chip at high resolution (~13 bits). Units are selected from the invoking command line. See owfs(1) or owhttpd(1) for choices. Default is Celsius. Conversion takes ~20 msec.

  volts
read-only, floating point
Voltage read (~10 bits) at the chip's supply voltage Vdd. Range 2.4V to 10V.

STANDARD PROPERTIES

ALARMS
None.

DESCRIPTION

  DS2436
The DS2436 (3) is a simpler form of the DS2438 battery chip. It has no counter, and only one voltage sensor.
