The WMS714x is a 16 non-volatile linear digital potentiometers available in 10KΩ, 50KΩ and 100KΩ
resistance values. The WMS7140/1 can be used as a three-terminal potentiometer or as a two
terminal variable resistor in a wide variety of applications.
The output of each potentiometer is determined by the wiper position, which varies in linearly between
V
A
and V
B
terminal according to the content stored in the volatile Tap Register (TR) which is
programmed through Up/Down (Increment/Decrement) interface. The channel has one non-volatile
memory location (NVMEM0) that can be directly written to by users through the Up/Down interface.
Power-on recall is also built in so the content of the NVMEM0 to Tap Register is automatically loaded.
The WMS7140/1 devices pin out the resistor wiper directly. The WMS7141 devices feature an output
buffer with 3mA minimum drive capability.
All the WMS7140/1 devices are single channel devices offered in 8-pin PDIP, SOIC and MSOP
packages. The WMS7140/1 devices operate over a wide operating voltage ranging from 2.7V to
5.5V.
