The DS1882 is a dual, nonvolatile (NV) digital potentiometer
designed to operate in audio systems that
accomodate up to ±7V signal levels. The potentiometer
settings can be stored in EEPROM so that they are
retained when the power is cycled. The DS1882 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 DS1882 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 DS1882 is both software and pin
compatible with the DS1808 in 5V applications.
