CHESTER-X1

This article describes the CHESTER-X1 extension module.


Module Overview​

CHESTER-X1 provides 8 independent 1-Wire channels allowing to connect digital sensors ( e.g. Dallas DS18B20) or any other 1-Wire peripheries. The module implements Maxim DS2482S-800+ interface and also 5V boost converter to support 5V 1-Wire peripheries.

1-Wire Parasitic Power Connection​

CHESTER-X1 supports connection using parasitic powering method. In that case only 2 wires are necessary. In the parasitic mode 5.0V power supply is used. Standard 3 wire connection powering from VDD supports only 3.0V peripheries. This figure shows parasitic and standard powering method:
