Hi,
I am looking for addressable sensors which can work on I2C, 1-wire protocol or any other similar protocols. Requirement is to connect multiple sensors(reading analog and digital data) on a single bus(upto 25 of the same kind). I cannot use i2c extenders because I want each slave address to be uniquely addressable from a master(There may be upto 25 connected as slaves). Its more like plug and play of sensors.
With some searching I was able to find one chip from Maxim which would help me do this. https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/products/interface/controllers-expanders/DS2413.html/tb_tab0. Is there are any in TI family of similar features. Because the Maxim ones help in only manipulating digital I/Os. I am looking for uniquely Addressable ADCs(again upto 25 units) also which can be plugged in to the same bus.
It will be great if someone can let me know if there is an IC in the TI family which can help me do this. Or am I better off connecting each sensors to a cheap controller and make that as a slave to the main controller?
