Maxim DS2502 1Kb Add-Only Memory Manual
The DS2502 is a 1 Kb add‑only memory that communicates over a single data pin using Maxim’s 1‑Wire protocol. It provides a unique 64‑bit laser‑etched ROM, a 1024‑bit EPROM divided into four pages, and status bytes for write‑protect and page‑redirection functions. The device can be read directly from the 1‑Wire line, drawing power parasitically, while programming requires a 12 V pulse.
The manual covers pin assignments for various package types (TO‑92, SFN, SO, SOT‑23, TSOC, flip‑chip), ordering information, detailed command sequences for ROM and memory functions, and electrical characteristics such as operating voltage ranges and temperature limits. Revision history and package outlines are also provided.
