#149004 - The 8051's Quasi-Bidirectional IO is ideal!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
It gives you an open-drain driver to pull the line low, and can simultaneously read the line state - unlike some other architectures, where IOs have to be specifically configured as either input or output.

Firstly, we were going to use DS2480 1-wire driver but we thought we can implement 1-wire interface without this chip.

Sure it can be done!
The Maxim website has loads of Application Notes that tell you how!

I didn't do much job on micom, so I don't know much about it.

So, it can be done - but are you ready to do it?

The DS2480 relieves you of all the work of designing the hardware, and writing the low-level software to bit-bang the critical timing - it becomes just a matter of sending & receiving bytes via the UART.

If you don't feel happy with having to study the datasheets in detail, work out the necessary bit sequences, code the timing-critical bit-bang software, etc, then maybe you'd be best to stick with the DS2480?

Also, do you need all the features of the DS2480 - including 12V programming pulses, driving long lines, "hard" pullups, etc, etc...?
