LinkHubS - 32K, Serial Hub

The LinkHub-S is based on the Link and designed in cooperation with Dallas Semiconductor Corp, the manufacturer of the 1-Wire®, iButton® devices, and various accessories. LinkHubs are advanced, multiport serial port (LinkHubS32K) or Ethernet (LinkHubE32K) interfaces to be used with Maxim Integrated and iButton® components, as well as AEM systems. Linkhubs use superior digital and analog methods to perform more reliable operations on a wide variety of network topologies. Linkhubs also offer functions that can simplify network communications and offer some diagnostic tools. The LinkHub-E is designed to operate reliably on long and short 1-Wire® busses. This is done by a special analog interface design that uses matched impedances and slew rate controls, as well as smart cable pre-charge. In addition, the programming is adaptive and automatically makes adjustments for a variety of network parameters. There are five 1-Wire® busses, one internal and four external, which are logically ored i
