1-WIRE SIGNALING 
The DS1822-PAR uses a strict 1-Wire communication protocol to insure data integrity. Several signal 
types are defined by this protocol: reset pulse, presence pulse, write 0, write 1, read 0, and read 1. All of 
these signals, with the exception of the presence pulse, are initiated by the bus master. 
INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE: RESET AND PRESENCE PULSES 
All communication with the DS1822-PAR begins with an initialization sequence that consists of a reset 
pulse from the master followed by a presence pulse from the DS1822-PAR. This is illustrated in 
Figure 11. When the DS1822-PAR sends the presence pulse in response to the reset, it is indicating to the 
master that it is on the bus and ready to operate. 
During the initialization sequence the bus master transmits (T
X
) the reset pulse by pulling the 1-Wire bus 
low for a minimum of 480μs. The bus master then releases the bus and goes into receive mode (R
X
). 
When the bus is released, the 5k pullup resistor pulls the 1-Wire bus high. When the DS1822-PAR 
detects this rising edge, it waits 15μs to 60μs and then transmits a presence pulse by pulling the 1-Wire 
bus low for 60μs to 240μs.

READ/WRITE-TIME SLOTS 
The bus master writes data to the DS1822-PAR during write-time slots and reads data from the DS1822-
PAR during read-time slots. One bit of data is transmitted over the 1-Wire bus per time slot. 
WRITE-TIME SLOTS 
There are two types of write-time slots: “Write 1” time slots and “Write 0” time slots. The bus master 
uses a Write 1 time slot to write a logic 1 to the DS1822-PAR and a Write 0 time slot to write a logic 0 to 
the DS1822-PAR. All write-time slots must be a minimum of 60μs in duration with a minimum of a 1μs 
recovery time between individual write slots. Both types of write-time slots are initiated by the master 
pulling the 1-Wire bus low (see Figure 12). 
To generate a Write 1 time slot, after pulling the 1-Wire bus low, the bus master must release the 1-Wire 
bus within 15μs. When the bus is released, the 5k pullup resistor will pull the bus high. To generate a 
Write 0 time slot, after pulling the 1-Wire bus low, the bus master must continue to hold the bus low for 
the duration of the time slot (at least 60μs).
