The resistor string consists of 255 equal resistors connected in series between terminals PA and PB. The wiper (PW) connects to one of 256 nodes (0-255) via CMOS switches controlled by the 8-bit wiper register. The resistance between PW and PA is RWA = (256 - D) x RAB\/256, and between PW and PB is RWB = D x RAB\/256, where D is the wiper code (0-255) and RAB is the total resistance (50kOhm +\/-20%). The SPI command format is a 16-bit word: 2 don't care bits + 2 command bits + 4 address bits + 8 data bits. The wiper resistance (contact resistance of the CMOS switch) is typically 75Ohm, which limits accuracy at low wiper positions. The device can also be configured as a variable resistor (rheostat) by connecting only one terminal and the wiper. Power consumption is less than 1uA in standby. The -I suffix specifies industrial temperature range (-40C to +85C). Typical applications include LCD contrast adjustment, gain control, and voltage trimming in circuits where mechanical potentiometers would be impractical.","pin_description":"<table><tr><th>Pin<\/th><th>Name<\/th><th>Type<\/th><th>Function<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>1<\/td><td>CS<\/td><td>Input<\/td><td>SPI chip select (active low)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>SCK<\/td><td>Input<\/td><td>SPI clock<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3<\/td><td>SI<\/td><td>Input<\/td><td>SPI data input<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4<\/td><td>VSS<\/td><td>Power<\/td><td>Ground<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5<\/td><td>PA<\/td><td>Terminal<\/td><td>Potentiometer terminal A (end terminal)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6<\/td><td>PW<\/td><td>Terminal<\/td><td>Potentiometer wiper (variable output)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>7<\/td><td>PB<\/td><td>Terminal<\/td><td>Potentiometer terminal B (end terminal)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>8<\/td><td>VDD<\/td><td>Power<\/td><td>Supply (2.7-5.5V)<\/td><\/tr><\/table>","application_scenarios":"<li>Industrial control<\/li><li>Consumer electronics<\/li><li>Communication equipment<\/li><li>Power management<\/li>","alternative_models":"<table><tr><th>Manufacturer<\/th><th>Part Number<\/th><th>Package<\/th><th>Notes<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Microchip<\/td><td>MCP41010-I\/SN<\/td><td>SOIC-8<\/td><td>10kOhm version, same footprint<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Microchip<\/td><td>MCP42050-I\/P<\/td><td>DIP-14<\/td><td>Dual 50kOhm digital pot<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Analog Devices<\/td><td>AD5171BCPZ10RM7<\/td><td>LFCSP-10<\/td><td>50kOhm digital pot, I2C, OTP<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Maxim<\/td><td>MAX5434MEUA+T<\/td><td>uMAX-8<\/td><td>50kOhm, 256-tap, SPI<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Renesas<\/td><td>ISL22415WFU10Z<\/td><td>TSSOP-14<\/td><td>50kOhm, 256-tap, I2C, NV<\/td><\/tr><\/table>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5831"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5831\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5981,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5831\/revisions\/5981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5831"},{"taxonomy":"chip_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chip_brand?post=5831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
