DS2502-E48
2 of 2
The first 32 bytes of the DS2502-E48’s EPROM memory contain a globally unique 48-bit node address
and are write-protected. The data structure follows the conventions of UniqueWare devices using Default
Data Structure (Figure 1).

The data record starts with a length byte (0AH) and the 4-byte UniqueWare Project ID 00001129H. The
next 6 bytes contain the 48-bit node address which consists of an incrementing 24-bit extension identifier
and the IEEE-assigned 24-bit company ID value 006035H. A 16-bit CRC ends the data record. The
remaining bytes of the 32-byte memory page remain unprogrammed. Neither the 24-bit extension
identifier nor the 24-bit company ID are related to the 64-bit ROM registration number. The ROM
registration number is used to provide a unique address to access the DS2502-E48 when multidropped on
a 1-Wire bus.
The company ID value 006035H has been assigned by the IEEE to Dallas Semiconductor. If a different
UniqueWare Project Setup Manual. EXAMPLE Assume that a manufacturer’s company ID value is 006035H and the 24-bit extension identifier is
67ABCDH. The 48-bit node address value generated from these two numbers is 00603567ABCDH,
whose byte and bit representations are illustrated in Figure 2.

This information is stored in the DS2502-E48 as 48-bit number with the least significant byte at the lower
address. Including the length byte and the CRC, the complete set of data is shown in Figure 3.

The four bytes at memory addresses 01 to 04 contain the UniqueWare Project ID 00001129H. The two
bytes at addresses 0BH and 0CH are the 16-bit CRC over the length byte, Project ID and node address
value. The least significant byte of the CRC is stored at address 0B. This CRC is generated according to
the standardized CRC16 polynomial function X

values including examples in both hardware and software, see Application Note 27.
The contents of the memory address range 0DH to 1FH is FFH. These cells cannot be altered since the
whole memory page is write-protected. The memory range from 20H to 7FH, however, is user-
programmable. It can be write-protected by programming the corresponding write-protect bit in the status
memory of the DS2502-E48.
