The recommended layout and routing for the DS2175S involves keeping the analog and digital grounds separate, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the length of the traces between the device and the crystal oscillator. Additionally, it's recommended to use a 4-layer PCB with a dedicated power plane and a dedicated ground plane.
To ensure the DS2175S is properly powered and decoupled, use a high-quality power supply with low noise and ripple, and decouple the device with 0.1uF and 10uF capacitors between VCC and GND, as close to the device as possible. Additionally, use a 1uF capacitor between VCC and AVCC for analog power supply decoupling.
The maximum crystal oscillator frequency that can be used with the DS2175S is 25MHz. However, it's recommended to use a crystal oscillator frequency between 10MHz and 20MHz for optimal performance and stability.
To configure the DS2175S for low-power operation, use the Power-Down mode (PD) by setting the PD pin high. This reduces the power consumption to less than 1uA. Additionally, use the Shutdown mode (SD) by setting the SD pin high to further reduce power consumption to less than 0.1uA.
The recommended method for programming the DS2175S is through the I2C interface using a dedicated programming tool or a microcontroller. The device can also be programmed through the SPI interface, but this is not recommended as it may cause issues with the device's internal state machine.
