DESCRIPTION

The DS1804 NV trimmer potentiometer is a nonvolatile digital potentiometer that has 100 positions. The

device provides an ideal method for low-cost trimming applications using a CPU or manual control input

with minimal external circuitry. Wiper position of the DS1804 can be stored in EEPROM memory on

demand. The device’s wiper position is manipulated by a three-terminal port that provides an increment/

decrement counter controlled interface. This port consists of the control inputs CS , INC , and U/ D. The

DS1804 is available in three resistor grades, which include a 10kW, 50kW, and 100kW. The device is

provided in an industrial temperature grade. Additionally, the DS1804 will operate from 3V or 5V

supplies and is ideal for portable application requirements. Three packaging options are available and

include the 8-pin (300mil) DIP, 8-pin (150mil) SO, 8-pin (118mil) µSOP, and the flip-chip package.

OPERATION

The DS1804 is a single nonvolatile potentiometer. The device has a total of 100 tap-points including the

L- and H- terminals. A total of 99 resistive segments exist between the L- and H- terminals. These tap-

points are accessible to the W-terminal, whose position is controlled via a three-terminal control port. A

block diagram of the DS1804 is shown in Figure 1.

The three-terminal port of the DS1804 provides an increment/decrement interface which is activated via a

chip-select input. This interface consists of the input signals CS , INC , and U/ D. These input signals

control a 7-bit up/down counter. The output of the 7-bit up/down counter controls a 1 of 100 decoder to

select wiper position. Additionally, this interface provides for a wiper storage operation using the CS and

INC input control pins. The timing diagram for the three-terminal interface control is shown in Figure 2.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS

VCC - Power Supply. The DS1804 will support supply voltages ranging from +2.7V to +5.5V.

GND - Ground.

H - High-Terminal Potentiometer. This is the high terminal of the potentiometer. It is not required that

this terminal be connected to a potential greater than the L-terminal. Voltage applied to the H-terminal

cannot exceed the power-supply voltage, VCC, or go below ground.

L - Low-Terminal Potentiometer. This is the low terminal of the potentiometer. It is not required that this

terminal be connected to a potential less than the H-terminal. Voltage applied to the L-terminal cannot

exceed the power-supply voltage, VCC, or go below ground.

W - Wiper of the Potentiometer. This pin is the wiper of the potentiometer. Its position on the resistor

array is controlled by the three-terminal control port. Voltage applied to the wiper cannot exceed the

power-supply voltage, VCC, or go below ground.

CS - Chip Select. The CS input is used to activate the control port of the DS1804. This input is active

low. When in a high-state, activity on the INC and U/ D port pins will not affect or change wiper

position.

INC - Wiper Movement Control. This input provides for wiper position changes when the CS pin is low.

Wiper position changes of the W-terminal will occur one position per high-to-low transition of this input

signal. Position changes will not occur if the CS pin is in a high state.

U/ D - Up/Down Control. This input sets the direction of wiper movement. When in a high state and CS

is low, any high-to-low transition on INC will cause a one position movement of the wiper towards the

H-terminal. When in a low state and CS is low, any high-to-low transitions on INC will cause the

position of the wiper to move towards the L-terminal.

POWER-UP/POWER-DOWN CONDITIONS

On power-up, the DS1804 will load the value of EEPROM memory into the wiper position register (or 1

of 100 decoder). The value of this register can then be set to another wiper position if desired, by using

the three-terminal control port. On power-up, wiper position will be loaded within a maximum time

period of 500ms once the power-supply is stable. Additionally, the three-terminal interface port will be

active after 50ms.

On power-down, the wiper position register data will be lost. On the next device power-up, the value of

EEPROM memory will be loaded into the wiper position register.

On shipment from the factory, Dallas Semiconductor does not guarantee a specified EEPROM memory

value. This value should be set by the customer as needed.

NONVOLATILE WIPER STORAGE

Wiper position of the DS1804 can be stored using the INC and CS inputs. Storage of the wiper position

takes place whenever the CS input transitions from low-to-high while the INC is high. Once this

condition has occurred the value of the current wiper position will be written to EEPROM memory.

The DS1804 is specified to accept 50,000 writes to EEPROM before a wear-out condition. After wear-out

the DS1804 will still function and wiper position can be changed during powered conditions using the

three-terminal control port. However, on power-up the wiper-position will be indeterminate.

ONE-TIME PROGRAMMABILITY (OTP)

The DS1804 can be easily used as an OTP device. The user of the DS1804 can trim the desired value of

the wiper position and set this position for storage as described above. Any activity through the three-

terminal port can then be prevented by connecting the CS input pin to VCC. Also, an OTP application

does not adversely affect the number of times EEPROM is written, since EEPROM will only be loaded

and not written during a power-up or power-down condition.

On power-up, the DS1804 will load the current value of EEPROM memory into the wiper position

The Dallas Semiconductor DS1804 is built to the highest quality standards and manufactured for long

term reliability. All Dallas Semiconductor devices are made using the same quality materials and

manufacturing methods. However, the flip-chip package version of the DS1804 is not exposed to

environmental stresses, such as burn-in, that some industrial applications require. For specific reliability

NOTES:

1) All voltages are referenced to ground.

2) Valid for VCC = 5V only.

3) Resistor input voltages cannot go below ground or exceed VCC by the amounts as shown in the table.

4) Maximum current specifications are based on the clock rate of INC input. This specification

represents the current required when changing the wiper position.

5) Standby current levels apply when all inputs are driven to appropriate supply levels. CS , INC , U/ D =

VCC.

6) Wiper load time is specified as the time required for the DS1804 to load the wiper position with the

contents of nonvolatile memory once VCC has reached a stable operating voltage equal to or greater

than 2.7V.

7) The DS1804 is available in three resistor values. These include the DS1804-010, 10kW; the DS1804-

050, 50kW; and the DS1804-100, 100kW.

8) Valid at 25°C only.

9) Absolute linearity is used to compare measured wiper voltage versus expected wiper voltage as

determined by wiper position. The DS1804 is specified to provide an absolute linearity of ±0.60 LSB.

10) Relative linearity is used to determined the change in voltage between successive tap positions. The

DS1804 is specified to provide a relative linearity specification of ±0.25 LSB.

11) -3dB cutoff frequency characteristics for the DS1804 depend on potentiometer total resistance.

DS1804-010, 1MHz; DS1804-050, 200 kHz; and DS1804-100, 100 kHz.

12) Capacitance values apply at 25°C.

13) See Figure 2.

14) Power-up time is specified as the time required before the three-terminal control becomes active after

a stable power supply level has been reached.

15) At VCC = 2.7V, VIL = 0.8V.

16) The INC low to CS inactive is specified to be 50ns minimum. This is the transition condition which

allows the DS1804 three-terminal port to become inactive without writing the EEPROM memory of

the part.

17) Wiper Storage Time, tWST, is the time require for the DS1804 to write EEPROM memory for storage

of a new wiper position. The maximum time required to accomplish this task is specified at 10ms.
