DESCRIPTION
The DS1847 Dual Temperature-Controlled Nonvolatile (NV) Variable Resistor consists of two 256-
position linear, variable resistors. The DS1847-050 consists of one 10kW and one 50kW, while the
DS1847-010 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 DS1847 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 DS1847. 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 DS1847 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 DS1847 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.
Writing to this byte determines which of the two
72x8 EEPROM look-up tables is selected for
reading or writing.

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.
With AEN = 0 the user can operate in a test
mode. Address updates made from the
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.
