The DS2484 is a specialized interface designed to bridge the gap between an I2C bus and a 1-Wire network. Manufactured by Adafruit, this breakout board simplifies the integration of 1-Wire devices, such as temperature sensors, EEPROMs, and other peripherals, into microcontroller-based systems. By utilizing the DS2484, users can connect multiple 1-Wire devices to a microcontroller via the I2C protocol, reducing the complexity of direct 1-Wire communication.
The DS2484 breakout board is designed to provide reliable communication between I2C and 1-Wire devices. Below are its key technical details:
0x18
)The DS2484 breakout board features the following pins:
Pin Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
VIN | Power Input | Input voltage for the breakout board (2.9V to 5.5V). |
GND | Ground | Ground connection. |
SDA | I2C Data Line | Serial data line for I2C communication. |
SCL | I2C Clock Line | Serial clock line for I2C communication. |
1W | 1-Wire Bus | Connection to the 1-Wire network. |
ADDR | Address Select | Configures the I2C address (default: 0x18 ). |
INT | Interrupt | Optional interrupt pin for advanced applications (not required for basic use). |
The DS2484 breakout board is straightforward to use in a circuit. Follow the steps below to integrate it into your project:

pin.The DS2484 is compatible with Arduino boards. Below is an example of how to use the DS2484 to read data from a 1-Wire temperature sensor (e.g., DS18B20).
#include <Wire.h>
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DS2484.h>
// Create an instance of the DS2484 library
DS2484 ds2484;
// Define the 1-Wire bus pin (connected to the DS2484 breakout)
OneWire oneWire(10); // Pin 10 is used for the 1-Wire bus
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Wire.begin(); // Initialize I2C communication
// Initialize the DS2484
if (!ds2484.begin()) {
Serial.println("Failed to initialize DS2484. Check connections.");
while (1); // Halt execution if initialization fails
}
Serial.println("DS2484 initialized successfully.");
// Initialize the 1-Wire bus
oneWire.begin();
}
void loop() {
byte addr[8];
// Search for 1-Wire devices
if (oneWire.search(addr)) {
Serial.print("1-Wire device found: ");
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
Serial.print(addr[i], HEX);
if (i < 7) Serial.print(":");
}
Serial.println();
} else {
Serial.println("No 1-Wire devices found.");
oneWire.reset_search(); // Reset the search for the next loop
}
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second before the next search
