Data acquisition is the process of measuring an electrical or physical phenomenon such as voltage, current, temperature, pressure, or sound with a computer. Digital potentiometers are a type of data acquisition system which provide a means of measuring and/or controlling an electrical signal with a process known as resistance mapping. The DS1806-010 Digital Potentiometers from Texas Instruments is an example of such a device, designed to control resistance in an electronic system with great precision. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the DS1806-010.

The DS1806-010 is an 8-bit digital potentiometer that uses a nonvolatile memory to store settings across power cycles. This allows the potentiometer to remain in a specific resistance state even if the power is cut off, making it ideal for applications that require the same settings every time the system is powered on. The resistance range is adjustable and can be set to either a2kΩ or 10KΩ range, depending on the amplifier and application requirements. The resolution is also adjustable and can be set to either 8-bit (256 increments) or 10-bit (1024 increments).

The DS1806-010 is primarily used in applications where precision resistance control is needed. This could include applications such as audio and video signal routing, component level gain control, and voltage, current, and power regulation. It is also commonly used as an industrial control device, to provide a means of allowing an adjustable resistance to be applied to a circuit in order to control another parameter such as temperature or pressure. In this application, the DS1806-010 can be connected to an RTD or other sensor, with the resistance controlling the output of the sensor.

In terms of the working principle, the DS1806-010 is a dual digital silicon potentiometer with two channels and an internal 10K resistor. Each channel contains a digital switch and a resistor element, connected such that when the switch is closed, the resistance of the channel is determined by the digital code. When the digital code is increased, the resistance of the channel decreases. The digital code is written to the device through 3-wire and/or 4-wire SPI and can be read back for validation.

The DS1806-010 Digital potentiometer provides a high-accuracy, low-power control solution for numerous applications. It enables precise adjustment of resistance values, allowing for the development and implementation of many types of systems. From voltage regulation and audio routing to industrial control, the DS1806-010 is an invaluable tool for many projects.
