The DS1868E-50 is a type of digital potentiometer produced by Dallas Semiconductor which is used in the field of data acquisition, and comes with robust reliability, small circuitry and low operating temperature. In this article, the application field and working principle of the DS1868E-50 Digital Potentiometer will be examined.A digital potentiometer is an electronic component which is typically used to control the resistance of a circuit, either in applications such as voltage or current regulation, or as part of a sensitive measurement system. The DS1868E-50 features an 8-bit linear taper, 10kΩ end-to-end resistance, and ±10% tolerance, allowing it to accurately control and set resistance precisely for a wide range of uses.The DS1868E-50 is usually used for data acquisition applications such as analog-to-digital conversion, radiation measurement, imaging and vision, and automation. It is also suitable for use in sensitive measurement systems, as its low operating temperature and robustness allows for higher performance and accuracy.The digital potentiometer’s working principle can be explained in terms of its two control functions: one which implements the variable resistance, and another which adjusts the voltages between the ends of the resistance. The variable resistance function is achieved by applying a voltage to the wiper contact, which causes the wiper to move up and down along the resistance track and thereby control the resistance. The voltage between the ends is adjusted by gradually increasing or reducing the voltage applied to the wiper.The DS1868E-50 also supports a range of functions related to the resistance track, such as the on/off control, memory retention and update speed, as well as providing a range of serial interface options for digital communication. It also incorporates an additional function which prevents any drift of the resistance setting when power is turned off.In conclusion, the DS1868E-50 Digital Potentiometer is an extremely useful component for a wide range of data acquisition and digital communication applications, with its low operating temperature, robustness, and wide range of features providing reliability and accuracy.
