DS1683 EVKIT

Q: What is the status of the DS1683EVKit and EVKit data sheet? Several places on the Maxim site mention this kit but the DS1683 device data sheet and the Maxim site provide no links for the kit. A: There…
DS1683 Programming Temperature range

Q: Operating temperature range for DS1683 is -40 ⁰C to 85 ⁰C but the Programming temp range specified is 0 ⁰C to 70 ⁰C . Why are they different? A: The Programming Temperature is the range under which…
DS1683 Supply Current Specifications

Q: In the DC Electrical Characteristics there are entries for Active Supply Current (ICCA) and EEPROM Write Current (IEE). Is the EEPROM write current additional to the supply current? What is the maximum…
How long is the EEPROM data retention time of the DS1683S?

The DS1683 EEPROM can retain data for at least 10 years.
How to read ETC register of DS1683 properly via I2C?

The ETC register is a four-byte register. In order to read the ETC register properly, users should follow the reading procedure at following. Start -> Slave address write byte (D6h) -> Slave Ack ->…
What are the programming differences between DS1682 and DS1683?

Below are some of the programming differences between DS1682/DS1683. In general the devices are very similar, but there are some potential functional pitfalls customers may see when switching between the…
What could be causing the DS1683+ EEPROM write cycle to become corrupted?

To prevent interruption of the EEPROM write cycle, there must not be any I2C commands issued during the 20ms EEPROM Write Time (tW). If you do not wait the full 20ms after each write, then there is a risk…
What is causing the EEPROM write cycle to become corrupted in the DS1683+?

The 0xFFFF failures may be attributed to a truncated tW time. To prevent interruption of the EEPROM write cycle, there must not be any I2C commands issued during the 20ms EEPROM Write Time (tW). If you…
Why does the DS1683+ timer output the maximum value for the timer and event counter (0xFF for every byte) after functioning for a while, despite correct device and register addresses?

If the EEPROM write is interrupted, it could cause a 1's value. The first step in the EEPROM write cycle is to set the registers to all 1's, then the second stage writes the new value. If the EEPROM write…
