Product details
Overview
DS9097E from Maxim Integrated is a discontinued RS-232 to 1-Wire® universal adapter enabling Windows-based PCs to communicate with 1-Wire devices via RJ11 port; supports standard and overdrive speeds (9.6–115.2 kbps), true-ground RS-232 interface (±5V to ±12V for DB9), and 5V strong pullup for temperature/EEPROM devices.
For engineers reviewing the DS9097E datasheet, DS9097E pinout, DS9097E application, or DS9097E equivalent, key selection considerations include RS-232 voltage compatibility, 1-Wire speed mode support, external power requirements for EPROM programming, RJ11 connectivity, and software driver availability for legacy Windows systems.
Technical Context
The DS9097E implements active 1-Wire signal generation using the DS2480B serial line driver IC, with RXD/TXD polarity select tied to VDD (noninverting). It operates in byte-mode: each RS-232 data byte triggers eight precisely timed 1-Wire time slots.
It requires an RS-232 port supporting ≥±5V signaling (DB9 version) or ≥±6V (DB25 version); external 12V supply is mandatory for EPROM write functionality on DB25 variants, while 6–9V suffices for non-EPROM operation under low-voltage COM ports.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Interface Type | RS-232 to 1-Wire® bridge adapter with active signal generation |
| Data Rates | 9.6, 19.2, 57.6, and 115.2 kbps - selectable via software for standard/overdrive 1-Wire timing |
| RS-232 Voltage Range | DB9: ±5V to ±12V; DB25: ±6V to ±12V - defines minimum COM port compatibility |
| 1-Wire Pullup | Strong 5V pullup - enables reliable communication with parasitically powered temperature and EEPROM devices |
| EPROM Programming | Supported only on DB25 variant with externally supplied 12V at ≥10mA - required for DS2502/DS2432 writes |
| Connector Types | Standard DB9 or DB25 female + 6-pin RJ11 - ensures plug-and-play cabling with 1-Wire network cables |
Pinout & Package
DS9097E is offered in DB9 and DB25 versions with identical functional pin mapping per connector type. Package is molded plastic housing with integrated RJ11 jack and optional DC power input (DB25 only).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DB9 Pin 2 (RXD) | RS-232 Receive Input | Accepts inverted TTL-level signals from PC COM port; drives DS2480B RX input |
| DB9 Pin 3 (TXD) | RS-232 Transmit Output | Drives inverted TTL-level output from DS2480B TX to PC COM port |
| DB9 Pin 4 (DTR) | Control Signal Output | Provides handshake control to DS2480B DQ line for 1-Wire bus management |
| DB9 Pin 5 (GND) | Signal Reference | Common ground reference for RS-232 and 1-Wire circuits - enables true-ground interface |
| DB9 Pin 7 (RTS) | Control Signal Output | Used for additional bus control and timing synchronization with DS2480B |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True-Ground RS-232 Interface | Eliminates need for level-shifting isolation; allows direct connection to standard COM ports without signal inversion hardware |
| Software-Selectable Baud Rates | Enables optimization of 1-Wire timing: 9.6 kbps for standard speed, 57.6/115.2 kbps for overdrive-capable devices |
| Integrated DS2480B Driver | Provides precise 1-Wire waveform generation, CRC checking, and automatic recovery from bus contention |
| Strong 5V Pullup Circuitry | Supplies sufficient current to power parasitic 1-Wire devices like DS18B20 and DS2431 during read/write operations |
| RJ11-Based 1-Wire Connectivity | Supports standardized 1-Wire cabling (e.g., DS1402D-25, DS1402D-100) without custom wiring or soldering |
Applications
| Industrial Temperature Monitoring | Asset Authentication & ID Tracking |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Deploying DS18B20 sensors across factory floors for real-time thermal profiling of machinery and environmental zones. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS9097E acts as the host-side 1-Wire master, converting PC RS-232 commands into precise 1-Wire time slots for sensor interrogation and calibration. Use Value: Enables legacy industrial PCs with COM ports to acquire calibrated temperature data without USB adapters or embedded microcontrollers. | Use Scenario: Verifying authenticity of field-service tools using DS2401 silicon serial numbers attached to tool handles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS9097E provides reliable read access to ROM ID and memory pages of DS2401/DS2411 devices via RJ11-connected probes. Use Value: Eliminates need for dedicated readers; leverages existing Windows PCs for rapid, portable ID verification in maintenance workflows. |
| Legacy System Sensor Integration | Calibration Data Logging |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 1-Wire host interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS9097U-009# | Includes factory-installed DS2502 identification chip; otherwise identical electrical and mechanical specs to DS9097E | Pre-provisioned for secure authentication use cases requiring factory-programmed IDs | Select when out-of-box ID provisioning is required; DS9097E lacks this chip and must be programmed separately if needed |
| DS9490R | USB-based 1-Wire adapter using DS2490 controller; no RS-232 interface; supports higher overdrive speeds up to 2 Mbps | Designed for modern PCs lacking COM ports; requires USB driver stack instead of legacy serial port configuration | Choose for new deployments on USB-only platforms; DS9097E remains optimal for COM-port-equipped industrial or lab PCs |
Compared with DS9097U-009#, DS9097E offers identical 1-Wire functionality but omits the pre-programmed DS2502 ID chip - reducing cost where authentication isn't factory-required. Compared with DS9490R, DS9097E preserves compatibility with legacy RS-232 infrastructure but lacks USB convenience and higher-speed overdrive capability.

FAQ
Is DS9097E still in production or available for new designs?
No - DS9097E is a discontinued part. Maxim removed references to DS9097E in the June 2011 revision of the DS9097U datasheet. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock for repair and maintenance of installed base systems, but it is not recommended for new designs. Engineers should evaluate DS9490R or DS2480B-based custom solutions for future projects.
What is the difference between DS9097E and DS9097U-009#?
The DS9097E and DS9097U-009# share identical RS-232 interface logic, 1-Wire timing, and physical packaging. The sole confirmed difference is that DS9097U-009# includes a factory-programmed DS2502 identification chip, while DS9097E does not. No electrical or functional divergence exists beyond this provisioned ID element.
Can DS9097E program DS2432 or DS2502 EPROM devices?
No - DS9097E cannot program EPROM devices. Only the DB25 variant DS9097U-E25 (with external 12V supply) supports EPROM write functionality. DS9097E is functionally equivalent to the DB9 variants (e.g., DS9097U-S09#), which are read-only for non-EPROM 1-Wire devices like DS18B20 and DS2431.
Does DS9097E require special drivers or software to operate?
Yes - DS9097E requires Maxim's legacy 1-Wire drivers, available free from maximintegrated.com/1-Wiredrivers. These include Windows COM port wrappers (owcom32.dll) and API libraries for C/C++ and Visual Basic. No native OS support exists; driver installation and COM port configuration (e.g., 9600 bps, no flow control) are mandatory before 1-Wire communication.
What is the maximum cable length supported by DS9097E for reliable 1-Wire communication?
DS9097E supports up to 100 meters using standard twisted-pair 1-Wire network cables (e.g., DS1402D-100) at standard speed (16.3 µs slot time). At overdrive speed (2.1 µs slot time), maximum reliable length reduces to ~25 meters due to signal rise/fall time limitations and noise susceptibility on unshielded lines.
Is DS9097E compatible with modern Windows 10 or Windows 11 systems?
DS9097E can operate on Windows 10/11 only with signed legacy drivers or test-signing mode enabled, as Maxim's original drivers lack WHQL certification for newer OS versions. Hardware-level compatibility remains intact, but driver installation may require manual INF editing or compatibility mode settings - success varies by system configuration and security policy.
