The LinkUSB™ Modular with Screw Terminal is an advanced and intelligent USB 2.0 full speed 1-Wire® interface. Using superior digital and analog methods, it can accomplish more reliable operations on a variety of network communications, as well as diagnostic tools.

This version of the LinkUSB™ features a micro USB port and uses a micro USB cable, which eliminates the strain point between the LinkUSB's™ electronics and the USB connector. In addition, this version of the LinkUSB™ also features a 3-pin screw terminal in place of the RJ45 port. The 3-pin screw terminal allows the user to use a wide range of wire sizes and gives them the ability to hardwire in the LinkUSB™.

The LinkUSB™ has been designed to operate reliably on long or short 1-Wire® busses. It has a special analog interface designed to match impedances and slew rate controls, and smart cable pre-charge.

The same strong drivers used in the Link45 (tested to 1,000 feet on cat 5 cables with one sensor attached), the power advantage of the USB serial bus, the integrity of injection molding and a very competitive price, make the LinkUSB™ Modular with Screw Terminal a major enhancement to the 1-Wire® world.

The LinkUSB™ works great with 1-Wire® Viewer, the free 1-Wire® viewing and logging application from Maxim using the DS9097U emulation mode. If you have any problem getting the 1-Wire® viewer to work, visit the 1-Wire® Viewer User's Guide.

The Link Family Manual is a good resource to learn how to use the LinkUSB™.

The LinkUSB™ uses drivers from FTDI and Maxim Integrated.

LinkUSB™ drivers were designed in cooperation with Dallas Semiconductor Corp.
