The LinkUSBi-TH is an advanced, intelligent USB 2.0 full speed interface for use with 1-Wire and iButton components. It uses superior digital and analog methods to accomplish more-reliable operation on a wide variety of network topologies. It also offers many functions that simplify network communications and some diagnostic tools as well.
This version of the LinkUSB features an all-in-one read head built into the body of the device. Due to the use of the built-in read head, the RJ-45 port has been completely removed. The LinkUSBi-TH uses a micro-USB to USB cable (sold separately), which eliminates the strain point between the LinkUSB's electronics and the USB connector.
The same strong drivers used in the
Link45, the power advantage of the USB serial bus, the integrity of injection molding and a very competive price, make the LinkUSB a major enhancement to the 1-Wire world.
The integrated
DS2401 ID chip is primarily used by software manufacturers to tie a license to the adapter.
Features
- Advanced 1-Wire front end based on extensive research
- All-in-one iButton read head built into the body of the device
- Slew controlled drivers reduce EMI and ringing
- Consistent 1-Wire waveform timing
- Integrated ID chip with a unique 64-bit address
Drivers
The LinkUSBi-TH works out of the box with modern operating systems. The driver creates a virtual COM port on the host computer. 1-Wire and iButton applications like OneWireViewer work great with the LinkUSBi-TH by using the DS9097U emulation mode.
