DS1841 Datasheet, PDF (1/16 Pages) Maxim Integrated Products – Temperature-Controlled, NV, I2C, Logarithmic Resistor
Rev 0; 11/07
Temperature-Controlled, NV, I2C,
Logarithmic Resistor
General Description
The DS1841 is a 7-bit, logarithmic, nonvolatile (NV) digi-
tal resistor that features an on-chip temperature sensor
and associated analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The
integrated temperature sensor indexes a 72-byte NV
lookup table (LUT) encompassing a temperature range
from -40°C to +100°C. The LUT output can drive the
resistor directly or be added to an NV initial-value regis-
ter (IVR) to drive the resistor. This flexible LUT-based
architecture allows the DS1841 to provide a tempera-
ture-compensated resistor output with arbitrary slope.
Programming is accomplished by an I2C-compatible
interface, which can operate at speeds of up to 400kHz.
Applications
Optical Transceivers
Linear and Nonlinear Compensation
Instrumentation and Industrial Controls
Mechanical Potentiometer Replacement
Registers and Modes are capitalized for clarity.
