The DS2423 can support up to 256 devices on a single 1-Wire bus, but the actual number of devices that can be connected depends on the specific application and the bus capacitance.
The DS2423 has a built-in voltage regulator that can operate down to 2.8V, and it also has a power-on reset circuit that resets the device in case of a power failure or brownout.
Yes, the DS2423 can be used in a multi-master 1-Wire bus configuration, but it requires additional external circuitry to handle the bus arbitration and collision detection.
The DS2423 has a maximum data transfer rate of 16.3 kbps, which is the standard data rate for 1-Wire devices.
The DS2423 uses a 16-bit CRC (cyclic redundancy check) to detect errors during data transfer, and it also has a built-in parity bit to detect single-bit errors.
