Dallas CRC polynomial

Hi,

I am working with dallas ds5250 and I would like to use the crc engine for communications checksum.

Does anyone knows the CRC16 polynomial used by Dallas? I think it is the same on Ds5002/5240 and 5250!

Thanks,
Joao

  • Well, the details aren't in the Datasheet, and it says at the top of each page, "A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is required for full disclosure of details. Contact factory for more information."

    So even if anyone did know, I guess they wouldn't be allowed to tell you anyway!

    You'll just have to ask Dallas!

  • Yes you are wright but I am supposing that it is the same as for the DS5002!

    But as you say it really is probably better to ask Dallas.
    Nevertheless if the polynomial is "critical" information then I can not use it for communications checksum because it must be written on the software interface description!


    Thanks for your comment.
