OVERVIEW
The S9318 DACPOT™ trimmer is an 8-bit nonvolatile
DAC designed to replace mechanical potentiometers.
The S9318 includes a unity-gain amplifier to buffer the
DAC output and enables V_OUT to swing from rail to rail.
The DACPOT trimmer operates over a supply voltage
range of 2.7V to 5.5V.
The S9318’s simple up/down counter input provides an
ideal interface for automatic test equipment to dither and
monitor the V_OUT voltage. This interface allows for quick
and consistent calibration of even the most sophisticated
systems.
The S9318 is a pin-compatible performance upgrade for
other industry nonvolatile potentiometers. The S9318
offers double the resolution of these devices and provides
‘clickless’ transitions of V_OUT.
