APPENDIX B:
Some designers may desire to understand the device
operational characteristics outside of the specified
operating conditions of the device.
Applications where the knowledge of the resistor
network characteristics could be useful include battery
powered devices and applications that experience
brown-out conditions.
In battery applications the application voltage decays
over time until new batteries are installed. As the
voltage decays, the system will continue to operate. At
some voltage level, the application will be below its
specified operating voltage range. This is dependent
on the individual components used in the design. It is
still useful to understand the device characteristics to
expect when this low-voltage range is encountered.
Unlike a microcontroller which can use an external
supervisor device to force the controller into the Reset
state, a digital potentiometer’s resistance characteristic
is not specified. But understanding the operational
characteristics can be important in the design of the
applications circuit for this low-voltage condition.
Other application system scenarios where understand-
ing the low-voltage characteristics of the resistor net-
work could be important is for system brown out
conditions.
For the MCP433X/435X devices, the analog operation
is specified at a minimum of 2.7V. Device testing has

For this discussion, we will use the 5 k device data.

resistance changes from a linear slope. This change is
due to the change in the wiper resistance.
