iButton DESCRIPTION
The DS1977 is a 32KB EEPROM in a rugged,
i
Button
®
enclosure. Access to the memory can be
password-protected with different passwords for
read-only and full access. Data is transferred serially
through the 1-Wire
®
protocol, which requires only a
single data lead and a ground return. Every DS1977
is factory lasered with a guaranteed unique 64-bit
registration number that allows for absolute
traceability. The durable stainless-steel i
Button
package is highly resistant to environmental hazards
such as dirt, moisture, and shock. Accessories permit
the DS1977 i
Button to be mounted on almost any
object, including containers, pallets, and bags.
