APPLICATIONS EXAMPLES

Digital potentiometers have a multitude of practical

uses in modern electronic circuits. The most popular

uses include precision calibration of set point thresh-

olds, sensor trimming, LCD bias trimming, audio atten-

uation, adjustable power supplies, motor control

overcurrent trip setting, adjustable gain amplifiers and

offset

trimming.

The

MCP413X/415X/423X/425X

devices can be used to replace the common mechani-

cal trim pot in applications where the operating and

terminal voltages are within CMOS process limitations

(VDD = 2.7V to 5.5V).

Split Rail Applications

All inputs that would be used to interface to a Host

Controller support High Voltage on their input pin. This

allows the MCP4XXX device to be used in split power

rail applications.

An example of this is a battery application where the

PIC® MCU is directly powered by the battery supply

(4.8V) and the MCP4XXX device is powered by the

3.3V regulated voltage.

For SPI applications, these inputs are:

•CS

•SCK

• SDI (or SDI/SDO)

• SHDN

Figure 8-1 through Figure 8-2 show three example split

rail systems. In this system, the MCP4XXX interface

input signals need to be able to support the PIC MCU

output high voltage (VOH).

In Example #1 (Figure 8-1), the MCP4XXX interface

input signals need to be able to support the PIC MCU

output high voltage (VOH). If the split rail voltage delta

becomes too large, then the customer may be required

to do some level shifting due to MCP4XXX VOH levels

related to Host Controller VIH levels.

In Example #2 (Figure 8-2), the MCP4XXX interface

input signals need to be able to support the lower

voltage of the PIC MCU output high voltage level (VOH).

Table 8-1 shows an example PIC microcontroller I/O

voltage

specifications

and

the

MCP4XXX

specifications. So this PIC MCU operating at 3.3V will

drive a VOH at 2.64V, and for the MCP4XXX operating

at 5.5V, the VIH is 2.47V. Therefore, the interface

signals meet specifications.
