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 STOD13A 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 both

rising and 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 (STOD13A) 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)
