DESCRIPTION

The DS1869 Dallastat

TM

is a digital rheostat or potentiometer. This device provides 64 possible uniform

tap points over the entire resistive range. The standard resistive ranges are 10 k

Ω, 50 kΩ, and 100 kΩ.

The Dallastat can be controlled by either a switch contact closure input or a digital source input such as a
CPU. The DS1869 operates from 3V or 5V supplies. Wiper position is maintained in the absence of
power through the use of a EEPROM memory cell array. The EEPROM cell array will withstand more
than 50,000 writes.

The DS1869 is offered in two standard IC packages which include an 8-pin 300-mil DIP and an 8-pin
208-mil SOIC. The DS1869 can be configured to operate using a single pushbutton, dual pushbutton or
digital source input by varying power-on conditions. This is illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. The DS1869
pinouts allow access to both ends of the potentiometer R

L

, R

H

, and the wiper, R

W

. Control inputs include

the digital source input, D, the up contact input, UC, and the down contact input, DC. Other pins include
the positive, +V, and negative, -V, supply inputs. The DS1869 is specified to operate from -40°C to
+85°C.
