DESCRIPTION
The DP7259 is four digital potentiometers
(DPs) integrated with control logic and 16 bytes
of NVRAM memory. Each DP consists of a series
of resistive elements connected between two
externally accessible end points. The tap points
between each resistive element are connected to the
wiper outputs with CMOS switches. A separate 8-bit
control register (WCR) independently controls the
wiper tap switches for each DP. Associated with
each wiper control register are four 8-bit non-volatile
memory data registers (DR) used for storing up to four
wiper settings. Writing to the wiper control register or
any of the non-volatile data registers is via a 2-wire
serial bus. On power-up, the contents of the first data
register (DR0) for each of the four potentiometers
is automatically loaded into its respective wiper
control registers.
The DP7259 can be used as a potentiometer or as a
two terminal, variable resistor. It is intended for circuit
level or system level adjustments in a wide variety of
applications. It is available in the -40ºC to 85ºC
industrial operating temperature ranges and offered in
a 24-lead SOIC and TSSOP package.
