The DS1881 is a dual, nonvolatile (NV) digital potentiometer
designed to operate in audio systems that
require 5V signal levels. The potentiometer settings can
be stored in EEPROM so that they are retained when the
power is cycled. The DS1881 has separate supplies for
the potentiometers (VCC) and the communication circuitry
(VDD). For clickless/popless operation, a zero-crossing
detector allows the wiper position to change when there
is no voltage across the potentiometer. The device is
also designed to minimize crosstalk, and the two digital
potentiometers provide 0.5dB channel-to-channel matching
to prevent volume differences between channels.
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is also minimal as long
as the wiper drives a high-impedance load.
Two attenuation configuration options provide optimum
flexibility for the specific application. Configuration
Option 1 provides 63 logarithmic tapered steps (0dB to
-62dB, 1dB/step) plus a mute setting. Configuration
Option 2 has 32 logarithmic steps plus mute and provides
software compatibility with the DS1808. When
Configuration Option 2 is used in combination with the
16-pin SO package, the DS1881 is both software and pin
compatible with the DS1808 in 5V applications.
