Multiplexing a DS1620 (temp) with a TSL230 (light)

Phil Pilgrim (PhiPi)

I wanted to be able to measure temperature and ambient light with the Spinneret, but I didn't want to use pins A28..A31 on the daughterboard connector, which left only four: A24..A27. It turns out that it's very easy to multiplex these two chips together. The /OE pin on the TSL230 tristates the frequency output when high. The /RST pin on the DS1620 tristates DQ when low. So, by connecting /OE to /RST and OUT to DQ, I'm able to multiplex the two chips. That leaves CLK, which I connected to S1, as shown here:



I tied S0 high and S2 and S3 low. That gives me the maximum clock rate output, with a selection between 1X and 100X gains -- and a pin left over, which I could have used to control S0.

Here's a scope trace of a reading from the DS1620 amidst the frequency output from the TSL230:



Here's the Spin program that reads both:

CON

  _clkmode      = xtal1 + pll16x
  _xinfreq      = 5_000_000

  nOE           = 24
  nRST          = 24
  OUT           = 25
  DQ            = 25
  S1            = 26
  CLK           = 26

Thats very Pin thrifty of You Phil..
Mix-N-Match sensors... I like it.
