 		 #107948 - One advantage...
Responding to: ???'s previous message

I have no objection to the Dallas chip, I just can not see, even with staring, any advantage for professional use (no disadvantage either, but have not looked for such).

Erik

Outside of drop-in compatibility matters which have already been extensively discussed, price is another advantage. DS89C4x0 devices all cost somewhere around US $10, even in small quantities from Maxim/Dallas directly, which as I recall is significantly less than some of the SiLabs devices you mentioned (e.g., 'F120).

None of this is to knock the SiLabs devices though; they have a lot of things going for them that the DS89C4x0 parts do not.
