DESCRIPTION
The DS2890 is a linear taper digitally controlled potentiometer with 256 wiper positions. Device
operation, including wiper position, is controlled over the single contact 1-Wire bus for the ultimate in
electrical interface simplicity. With a wide 0–11 volt working voltage range for the potentiometer
terminals, the DS2890 is ideal for a broad range of industrial and control applications. Potentiometer
terminal voltage is independent of device supply voltage as well as the voltage applied to the other
potentiometer terminals. Communication with the DS2890 follows the standard Dallas Semiconductor
1-Wire protocol and can be accomplished with minimal hardware such as a single port pin of a
microcontroller. Multiple DS2890 devices can reside on a common 1-Wire bus and be operated
independently of each other. Each DS2890 has its own unalterable 64-bit ROM registration number that
is factory lasered into the chip. The registration number guarantees unique identification for absolute
traceability and is used to address the device in a multi-drop 1-Wire Network environment. The DS2890
will respond to a 1-Wire Conditional Search command if the potentiometer wiper is set at the power-on
default position. This feature enables the bus master to easily determine whether a potentiometer has
gone through a power-on reset and needs to be re-configured with a required wiper position setting. The
DS2890 supports two power modes: 1-Wire only mode in which device power is supplied parasitically
from the 1-Wire bus or V
DD
mode where power is supplied from an external supply; when operating from
V
DD
mode wiper resistance is reduced.

OPERATION
The DS2890 is a single element digital potentiometer; a block diagram of the device is shown in Figure 1.
The device has a total of 256 linearly spaced tap points including the RL and RH terminals; a total of 255
resistive segments exist between the RL and RH terminals. These tap points are accessible to the WIPER
terminal whose position is controlled via the 1-Wire bus interface. Wiper position and device state are
maintained as long as the 1-Wire bus is active or the V
DD
supply is applied within operating limits.
Otherwise, a power-on reset will occur and the wiper position and operating state will return to power-on
default conditions.
Figure 1.
DS2890 BLOCK DIAGRAM
As shown in the figure the device has five major elements: the 1-Wire Function Controller, the
Potentiometer Controller, the 64-bit ROM, the resistor array, and Parasite Power circuitry. Each of these
elements is discussed in detail throughout the remainder of the data sheet. DS2890 control including
device selection, positioning/reading the potentiometer wiper, and device operating state is performed
over the 1-Wire bus. The hierarchical structure of the 1-Wire protocol as applicable to the DS2890 is
shown in Figure 2. As shown, the control sequence starts with the 1-Wire bus master issuing one of eight
ROM function commands. After a ROM function command is successfully completed potentiometer
functions may be executed. The protocol for ROM and potentiometer functions are described in the
“COMMAND FLOW” section. For the 3-pin TO-92 package configuration and operation see the
“TO-92 PACKAGE OPERATION” section.

POTENTIOMETER FEATURE REGISTER
Although the feature set of the DS2890 is primarily fixed, a mechanism to identify feature characteristics
of future 1-Wire potentiometers has been developed and implemented in the DS2890. As shown in
Figure 3, the feature register is an encoded read-only byte that describes the characteristics of the DS2890
and future 1-Wire potentiometers. Feature values that correspond to the DS2890 are highlighted. The
feature register is read with the READ CONTROL REGISTER potentiometer function command (see
“POTENTIOMETER FUNCTION COMMANDS”).

POTENTIOMETER CONTROL REGISTER
The potentiometer control register is used to turn on/off the DS2890 charge pump (see section
“POTENTIOMETER WIPER RESISTANCE AND CHARGE PUMP CONSIDERATIONS” for a
discussion of the charge pump) and has control capabilities for future 1-Wire potentiometers that could
contain multiple resistor elements. The format of the control register is shown in Figure 4.
