Data Acquisition - Digital Potentiometers

Digital potentiometers are a type of solid-state, electronically adjustable devices used to provide a variable resistance in control circuits and other applications. They are becoming increasingly common in applications ranging from motor control to audio processing. One such device is the MCP4632T-104E/UN device, which combines the features of a low-noise digital potentiometer and a programmable digital voltage reference in a single package. In this article, the application field and working principle of the MCP4632T-104E/UN device will be discussed.

The MCP4632T-104E/UN device is a product of Microchip Technology, a leading provider of integrated solutions for a wide range of electronic applications. The device is a dual-channel digital potentiometer and voltage reference, with each channel having its own wiper voltage level and end-to-end resistance adjustment. The MCP4632T-104E/UN is capable of providing 32 actual steps and 256 virtual steps of resolution, providing different amounts of resistance and voltage output depending on the application. It has a wide range of applications, from being used as an adjustable reference in data converters and filters to providing adjustable gain, offset and bias voltage in power and audio amplifiers. Its low power consumption and low noise, coupled with its ability to remotely write and read wiper positions, make it an ideal choice for many different applications.

In terms of its working principle, the MCP4632T-104E/UN relies on two independent voltage reference outputs, fed from two separate external sources, to control its resistance range. When the user connects the two voltage sources to each of the channels, the device calculates the end-to-end resistance of each channel based on the voltages of the two sources. The device then adjusts the resistances of both channels, using the wiper position settings, in order to maintain a constant resistance across the channels. This process is repeated as the wiper positions are adjusted, thus providing the device with the variable resistance output it is designed to produce.

While the MCP4632T-104E/UN device is primarily used in audio processing and motor control applications, it is also frequently used in power, diagnostic and telecommunication applications. Its relatively low cost and high performance make it a popular choice for many applications, particularly where high resolution and low noise are desired. The device is also performance-tested and certified, making it a reliable option for electronically adjustable control applications.

To summarize, the MCP4632T-104E/UN is a digital potentiometer with voltage reference, designed for applications ranging from motor control and audio processing to power and telecommunication. Its programmable, high resolution step count and low power consumption make it an attractive option for many applications. Its working principle is based on two voltage reference inputs which are used to calculate the resistance adjustment needed, and a dipswitch is used to select the wiper position. Overall, the MCP4632T-104E/UN device is an ideal choice for applications requiring a low-noise, adjustable resistive element.
