PROGRAMMING THE POTENTIOMETER DIVIDER
Voltage Output Operation
The digital potentiometer easily generates a voltage divider at
wiper-to-B and wiper-to-A proportional to the input voltage at
A to B. Unlike the polarity of V
positive, voltage across A to B, W to A, and W to B can be at
either polarity.
If ignoring the effect of the wiper resistance for approximation,
then connecting the A terminal to 5 V and the B terminal to
ground produces an output voltage at the wiper-to-B starting at
0 V up to 1 LSB less than 5 V. Each LSB of voltage is equal to the
voltage applied across Terminal A and B divided by the 256
positions of the potentiometer divider. The general equation
defining the output voltage at V
valid input voltage applied to Terminals A and B is
A more accurate calculation, which includes the effect of wiper
resistance, V
Operation of the digital potentiometer in the divider mode
results in a more accurate operation over temperature. Unlike
the rheostat mode, the output voltage is dependent mainly on
the ratio of the internal resistors, R
values. Therefore, the temperature drift reduces to 15 ppm/°C.
ESD PROTECTION
All digital inputs are protected with a series of input resistors and
parallel Zener ESD structures, shown in Figure 38 and Figure 39.
This applies to the digital input pins SDA, SCL, and AD0.

POWER-UP SEQUENCE
Because the ESD protection diodes limit the voltage compliance
at Terminals A, B, and W (see Figure 40), it is important to
power V

LAYOUT AND POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
It is good practice to employ compact, minimum lead length
layout design. The leads to the inputs should be as direct as
possible with a minimum conductor length. Ground paths
should have low resistance and low inductance.
Similarly, it is also good practice to bypass the power supplies
with quality capacitors for optimum stability. Supply leads to
the device should be bypassed with disk or chip ceramic
capacitors of 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF. Low ESR 1 µF to 10 µF tantalum
or electrolytic capacitors should also be applied at the supplies
to minimize any transient disturbance and low frequency ripple
(see Figure 41). Note that the digital ground should also be
joined remotely to the analog ground at one point to minimize
the ground bounce.
