From: Raveninghorde on
I am using a DS2438 as a battery monitor. The app notes recommend a
series 330 ohm in the DQ line for static protection. The data sheet
shows 4k7 as the master pull up resistor.

I have a Link45 serial to 1-wire interface and the cooms does not
work. A quick check shows a 1k bus pull up. So the 330 ohm is not
allowing the output from the battery to get lower than about 1.2V.

Is there actually a specified min and max for the bus pull up
resistor. I.m looking but haven't found a specification yet.

330 Ohms would imply something like 2.2K _minimum_ pull-up.

Your math isn't too bad ;-)

I am seeing Maxim app notes for 1-wire on long cables saying 1k may be
needed. This of course doesn't work with the Maxim app notes saying
fit a 330 ohm resistor for static protection. So it looks like I have
to design for 1k pull up. Just wish I could find a spec giving min
and max figures.

Who writes app notes? Certainly no one who knows what they are doing.

At Motorola it was a department separate from the design groups :-(

I was constantly at clash with those idiots.

I still remember the convoluted spec on the NMOS MC68705P3S port A.
I went something like this :

"The PORT A pull up option, available on the masked part, is not
optional on the ceramic (CS) part"

OK, does that mean it is always in place, or not available?
When I called the regional FAE he didn't know either.
