SPECIAL FEATURES
16384 bits Electrically Programmable Read Only
Memory (EPROM) communicates with the
economy of one signal plus ground
EPROM partitioned into 64 256-bit pages for
randomly accessing packetized data records
Each memory page can be permanently write
protected to prevent tampering
Device is an “add only” memory where additional
data can be programmed into EPROM without
disturbing existing data
Architecture allows software to patch data by
superseding an old page in favor of a newly
programmed page
Reduces control, address, data, power, and
programming signals to a single data pin
8-bit family code specifies DS1985
communications requirements to reader
Reads over a wide voltage range of 2.8V to 6.0V
from -40°C to +85°C; programs at 11.5V to 12.0V
from -40°C to +85°C
