Q: Can I use this distributor with a 3.3V 1-Wire master?
A: Yes, but ensure that all connected devices are compatible with 3.3V operation.
Q: How many devices can I connect to the distributor?
A: You can connect up to six devices, one per port (P1
to P6
).
Q: Does the distributor provide ESD protection?
A: No, external ESD protection is recommended for environments prone to electrostatic discharge.
Q: Can I use this distributor in a parasitic power mode?
A: Yes, the distributor supports parasitic power mode, but ensure the power supply can handle the additional load.
