DESCRIPTION
The DS1666 is a solid–state potentiometer which is set
to value by digitally controlled resistive elements. The
potentiometer is composed of 127 resistive sections.
Between each resistive section and both ends of the po-
tentiometer are TAP points accessible to the wiper. The
position of the wiper on the resistance array is controlled
by the CS, U/D and INC inputs. The position of the wiper
defaults to the 10% position on power up. The resolu-
tion of the DS1666 is shown in Figure 1.
The DS1666 Digital Audio Resistor is uniquely designed
to provide a potentiometer that is logarithmic rather than
linear across its entire range. The lower half of the po-
tentiometer advances 1% of total resistance for each
3% of scale advanced, providing for precise amplifica-
tion of low volume signals. The upper half of the poten-
tiometer advances 2% of resistance for every 1% of
scale advanced, providing for the lower resolution gain
required for high volume amplification.

OPERATION
The CS, U/D and INC inputs control the position of the
wiper along the resistor array (Figure 1). When CS is ac-
tive (low), a high to low transition on the INC will incre-
ment or decrement an internal counter depending on the
level of the U/D pin. When the U/D pin is low, the counter
will decrement. When the U/D pin is high, the counter will
increment. The state of the U/D pin can be changed while
CS is active allowing for precise adjustment during cali-
bration. The output of the counter is decoded to set the
position of the wiper. When the CS input transitions to the
high (inactive) level, the value of the counter is stored and
the wiper position is maintained until power (V
CC
) is lost.
When power is restored, the DS1666 returns to the de-
fault setting and positions the wiper to 10 percent. The
value of the end–to–end and end–to–wiper position is in-
determinate while V
CC
is not applied.
The DS1666 has a resistor array that resembles an au-
dio taper potentiometer as shown in Figure 1 1. Since
the taper is not linear, exact resistance values for each
of the 128 positions of the resistor is not specified. How-
ever, the end-to-end resistance is specified to be within
±20
percent of the stated resistor value over an indus-
trial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.

The wiper terminal of the potentiometer.
The value of the wiper is controlled by the
U/D and the INC pins.
The U/D input controls the direc-
tion of the wiper movement when setting
the potentiometer.
Toggling INC will move the potentiome-
ter wiper by either incrementing or decre-
menting the counter.
