DS1806S-100

Data Acquisition has revolutionized the way we measure and quantify data in a variety of industries and applications. Digital Potentiometers, or Digital Potentiometers, are a type of Data Acquisition device that can be used to measure, process and control voltage, current and other parameters. A Digital Potentiometer (DP) is a type of Data Acquisition device which uses a combination of digital and analog techniques to measure, process and control voltage, current and other parameters digitally.

The DS1806S-100 is a digital potentiometer manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is a low-power, low-noise device designed for application in low-voltage, low-current DC-DC power converters. It features a built-in 8-bit ADC for precise resistance measurements. The DS1806S-100 is ideal for voltage or current control applications where real-time parameter adjustment is desired.

The DS1806S-100 is available in a 14-lead Dual-In-Line Plastic Package (DIP) and consists of two external wiper terminals and two internal 8-bit potentiometer elements, each providing up to 8 steps of coarse resolution and 256 steps of fine resolution. Each element has its own 8-bit non-volatile memory that stores the most recently used wiper setting. This allows the device to resume the previously-used setting after power-down of the system. The device includes a built-in ADC which measures the resistance of each potentiometer element and stores the result in its memory.

The DS1806S-100 has a range of applications. It can be used to control voltage or current in a variety of industrial and automotive applications. It can also be used to control the output of DC-DC converters, such as in AC-DC power adapters, UPS systems, medical systems and lighting systems.

The DS1806S-100\'s working principle is simple. The device consists of two 8-bit analog potentiometers, each containing 256 steps of resolution. Each potentiometer is connected to a wiper terminal, which can be controlled by an external voltage. When the voltage applied to the wiper terminal is adjusted, the resistance of the potentiometer increases or decreases, which in turn affects the output voltage of the system. Moreover, the resistance change is measured by the onboard ADC, and the value is stored in the device’s non-volatile memory.

The DS1806S-100 is an ideal device for applications where precise voltage or current control is required. It is a low-noise, low-power device that offers a reliable way to control voltage or current in a variety of applications. Moreover, its built-in ADC and non-volatile memory make it easy to use, and its small size makes it a great choice for low-power, low-noise applications.
