This application note describes the interface between the MC68HC705C8A (C8A) and the DS2430A 1-Wire 256-bit EEPROM from Dallas Semiconductor. The 1-Wire interface reduces the overhead of control, data, address, and power pins found with other EEPROM devices. One pin on the DS2430A combines all of these functions. More embedded applications today are demanding non-volatile memory storage. For instance, some applications in which EEPROM technology is required are: • Reprogrammable calibration data for test/measurement equipment • Power down information storage for consumer electronics like TVs and VCRs • Identification number storage for remote addressing or security • Storage of telecommunication information such as phone number recall and speed dialing
