DESCRIPTION
The DP7401 is four Digital Potentiometers
(DPs) integrated with control logic and 16 bytes
of NVRAM memory. Each DP consists of a series
of 63 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
6-bit control register (WCR) independently controls
the wiper tap switches for each DP. Associated with
each wiper control register are four 6-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 SPI 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
register.
The DP7401 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.
