DESCRIPTION
The DS1848 Dual Temperature-Controlled Nonvolatile (NV) Variable Resistor consists of two 256-
position linear, variable resistors. The DS1848-050 consists of one 10kW and one 50kW, while the
DS1848-010 consists of two 10kW resistors; both incorporate a direct-to-digital temperature sensor. The
device provides an ideal method for setting and temperature-compensating bias voltages and currents in
control applications using a minimum of circuitry.
The variable resistors settings are stored in EEPROM memory and can be accessed over the industry
standard 2-wire serial bus. The value of each variable resistor is determined by a temperature-addressed
look-up table, which can assign a unique value to each resistor for every 2°C increment over the -40°C to
+95°C range. The output of the digital temperature sensor is also available as a 13-bit, 2’s complement
value over the serial bus. The interface I/O pins consist of SDA and SCL.

Description
Power Supply Terminal.
The DS1848 will support supply
voltages ranging from +3.0V to +5.5V.
Ground Terminal.
2-Wire Serial Data Interface.
The serial data pin is for serial data
transfer to and from the DS1848. The pin is open drain and may
be wire-ORed with other open drain or open collector interfaces.
2-Wire Serial Clock Input.
The serial clock input is used to
clock data into the DS1848 on rising edges and clock data out on
falling edges.
Write Protect Input.
If open or set to logic 1, all memory, control
registers, and Look-up tables are write protected. If set to a logic 0, the
device is not write protected and can be written to. The WP pin is pulled
high internally.
Address Input.
Pins A0, A1, and A2 are used to specify the
address of each DS1848 when used in a multi-dropped
configuration.
Address Input.
Address Input.
High terminal of Resistor 0.
For both resistors, it is
not required that the high terminal be connected to a potential
greater than the low terminal. Voltage applied to the high terminal
of each resistor cannot exceed V
CC
, or go below ground.
High terminal of Resistor 1.
Low terminal of Resistor 0.
For both resistors, it is
not required that the low terminal be connected to a potential less
than the high terminal. Voltage applied to the low terminal of each
resistor cannot exceed V
CC
, or go below ground.
Low terminal of Resistor 1.

Name of Location
User Defined Look-Up Table
(LUT)
Function of Location
This block contains the user-defined temperature
settings of the resistors. Values between 00h and
FFh can be written to either table to set the 256
position variable resistors. The first address
location, 00h, is used to set the resistor at -40°C.
Each successive memory location will contain the
resistor setting for the previous temperature +2°C.
For example, memory address 01h is the address
that will set the resistor in a -38°C environment.
For default memory settings and programming
the look-up table, refer to the
Programming the
Look-Up Table (LUT)
section of the datasheet.

Table Select Byte
This block is for general-purpose user memory.
When shipped from the factory, memory
locations 60h – 6Bh contain the same information
as found in Look-Up Table 1, memory locations
28h – 33h. Memory locations 6Ch – 77h contain
the same information as found in Look-Up Table
2, memory locations 28h – 33h.
Writing to this byte determines if one of the two
72x8 EEPROM look-up tables or the user
EEPROM memory is selected for reading or
writing.

TAU TEN AEN
E1h
Configuration Byte
TAU – Temperature/Address Update
TEN – Temperature Update Enable
AEN – Address Update Enable
Default setting is 03h, TAU = 1, TEN = 1 and
AEN = 1.
TAU becomes a 1 after a temperature and address
update has occurred as a result of a temperature
conversion. The user can write this bit to 0 and
check for a transition from 0 to 1 in order to
verify that a conversion has occurred.
If TEN = 0, the temperature conversion feature is
disabled. The user sets the resistor in “manual
mode” by writing to addresses F0h and F1h to
control resistors 0 and 1, respectively.

Function of Location
With AEN = 0 the user can operate in a test

temperature sensor will cease. The user can load a
memory location into E4h and verify that the
values in locations F0h and F1h are the expected
user-defined values.
