`
`Description
`The iButton 64Kb memory (DS1996) is a
`®
`rugged read/write data carrier that acts as a
`localized database that can be easily accessed
`with minimal hardware. The nonvolatile
`memory offers a simple solution to storing and
`retrieving vital information pertaining to the
`object to which the iButton device is attached.
`Data is transferred serially via the 1-Wire
`®
`protocol which requires only a single data lead
`and a ground return. The scratchpad is an
`additional page that acts as a buffer when
`writing to memory. Data is first written to the
`scratchpad where it can be read back. After
`the data has been verified, a copy scratchpad
`command will transfer the data to memory.
`This process ensures data integrity when
`modifying the memory. A 48-bit serial number
`is factory lasered into each DS1996 to provide
`a guaranteed unique identity which allows for
`absolute traceability. The durable MicroCan
`package is highly resistant to environmental
`hazards such as dirt, moisture, and shock. Its
`compact button-shaped profile is self-aligning
`with mating receptacles, allowing the DS1996
`to be easily used by human operators.
`Accessories permit the DS1996 to be mounted
`on almost any surface including plastic key
`fobs, photo-ID badges and printed circuit
`boards. Applications include access control,
`work-in-progress tracking, electronic travelers,
`storage of calibration constants, and debit
`tokens.
