Interfacing a 1-wire slave device with msp430

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5438A

I am using msp430f5438A. I am using a protection IC connected accross a battery. The protection IC interfaces with the msp430f5438A by " Dallas 1-wire Interface".

Going through the solutions available in the manual, there were two options. One was to simply use a GPIO pin and communicate with the IC at low duration time pulses.

Another way was to use a converter IC ( from I2C to 1-wire ) . Please suggest me, which option should i choose ??

  • 1-wire is so simple I suggest you to go with bit-banging on GPIO (paying attention to timings).
