Data Acquisition - Digital Potentiometers category include MCP4331T-104E/ML application field and working principle. MCP4331T-104E/ML is a low-density, digitally controlled potentiometer (DCP) for use in industrial, medical, and consumer applications. 

MCP4331T-104E/ML includes digital nonvolatile memory, with each device able to store up to 64 wiper settings. This device has a typical wiper resistance of 10 kΩ, and provides 10-bit, single-channel wiper control. MCP4331T-104E/ML is a EEPROM-based device that is operated by a low-voltage two-line (SDA and SCL) I2C-compatible bus. Data can be written to it in single-byte operations and stored in nonvolatile memory at the time of power-down. 

MCP4331T-104E/ML is designed to offer both an analog and a digital representation of a single wiper position. The Digital potentiometer wiper position is read or written with a Simple Serial Data bus, including I2C-compatible 2-wire interface. All command and data transactions are done over the 2-wire interface. The DCP provides both a potentiometer function and a memory function that make it suitable for applications requiring up to 64 wiper setting store capabilities. 

The wiper resistance can be dynamically changed, stored in nonvolatile memory, and the new resistance setting is retained upon power loss. The device can also operate as two independent digital potentiometers. In addition, the Manufacturer provides an API library for designing applications for MCP4331T-104E/ML with PIC microcontrollers. 

General usage of MCP4331T-104E/ML includes notch and anti aliasing filters, audio gain control, artificial intelligence (AI) and automation, fuzzy logic controllers, and servo control in various industrial and automotive applications. They can also be used in other applications such as measuring voltage, power, current, and other physical quantities. 

In addition to their use as potentiometers, MCP4331T-104E/ML can be employed for tasks such as linearizing a converter, compensating for temperature drift and controlling electrical noise in a circuit. They can also be implemented for applications such as DACs, LDO voltage regulators, voltage dividers, and voltage translation. 

Working principles of MCP4331T-104E/ML involves interfacing a potentiometer with a microcontroller. A microcontroller such as a PIC or Arduino can be used to control the digital potentiometer. The microcontroller is then connected to the potentiometer\'s SDA and SCL pins in order to control the wiper position. The potentiometer sends back a single 10-bit value to the microcontroller that represents the current wiper position. The microcontroller can read and write the wiper position directly through the SDA and SCL pins.

The wiper position can be changed by sending a write operation from the microcontroller. It is then stored in the nonvolatile EEPROM of the potentiometer. The new potentiometer setting is saved even during power loss and retained until it is deliberately modified by another write operation. The total resistance of the potentiometer remains fixed, but the ratio of resistance between the wiper and each terminal changes as the wiper is moved.

In conclusion, MCP4331T-104E/ML is a versatile digital potentiometer for industrial, medical, and consumer applications. Its working principle involves interfacing a potentiometer with a microcontroller, and it can be used for notch and anti aliasing filters, audio gain control, artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic controllers, voltage measurement and control, linearizing a converter and much more.
