iButton DESCRIPTION
The DS1962/DS1963 Monetary iButton
(hereafter
referred to as DS196X) is a rugged read/write data car-
rier that acts as a localized database that can be easily
accessed with minimal hardware. The nonvolatile
memory offers a simple solution to storing and retrieving
information pertaining to the object to which the iButton
is associated. Data is transferred serially via the 1–Wire
protocol which requires only a single data lead and a
ground return.
