DS1267B
DESCRIPTION
The DS1267B Dual Digital Potentiometer Chip consists of two digitally controlled, solid-state
potentiometers. Each potentiometer is composed of 256 resistive sections. Between each resistive section
and both ends of the potentiometer are tap points which are accessible to the wiper. The position of the
wiper on the resi stiv e arr ay is set b y an 8-bit value that controls which tap point is connected to the wiper
output. Communication and control of the device are accomplished via a 3-wire serial port interface. This
interface allows the device wiper position to be read or written.
Both potentiometers can be connected in series (or stacked) for an increased total resistance with the
same resolution. For multiple-device, single-processor environments, the DS1267B can be cascaded or
daisy-chained. This feature provides for control of multiple devices over a single 3-wire bus.
The DS1267B is offered in three standard resistance values which include 10kΩ, 50kΩ, and 100kΩ
versions. Available packages for the device include a 16-pin SO and 20-pin TSSOP.
OPERATION
The DS1267B contains two 256-position potentiometers whose wiper posi tions are set by an 8-bit value.
These two 8-bit values are written to a 17-bit I/O shift register that is used to store the two wiper positions
and the stack select bit when the device is powered. A block diagram of the DS1267B is presented in
Figure 1.
Communication and control of the DS1267B are accomplished through a 3-wi re serial port interfa ce that
drives an internal control logic unit. The 3-wire serial interface consists of the three input signals:
RST
,
CLK, and DQ.
The
RST
control signal is used to enable the 3-wire serial port operation of the device. The chip is
selected when
RST
is high;
RST
must be high to begin any communication to the DS1267B. The CLK
signal input is used to provide timing synchronization for data input and output. The DQ signal line is
used to transmit potentiometer wiper settings and the stack select bit configuration to the 17-bit I/O shift
register of the DS1267B.
Figure 9(a) presents the 3-wire serial port protocol. As shown, the 3-wire port is inactive when the
RST
signal input is low. Communication with the DS1267B requires the transition of the
RST
input from a
low st ate to a high s tate. Once th e 3-wire port has been activated, data is entered into the part on the low
to high transition of the CLK signal inputs. Three-wire serial timing requirements are provided in the
timing diagrams of Figure 9(b)-(c).
Data written to the DS1267B over the 3-wire serial interface is stored in the 17-bit I/O shift register (see
Figure 2). The 17-bit I/O shift register contains both 8-bit potentiometer wiper position values and the
stack select bit. The composition of the I/O shift register is presented in Figure 2. Bit 0 of the I/O shift
register contains the stack select bit, which will be discussed in the section entitled Stacked
Configuration. Bi ts 1 through 8 of the I/O shift register contain the potentiometer-1 wiper position value.
Bit 1 contains the MSB of the wiper setting for potentiometer-1 and bit 8 the LSB for the wiper setting.
Bits 9 through 16 of the I/O shift register contain the value of the potentiometer-0 wiper position, with the
MSB for the wiper position occupying bit 9 and the LSB bit 16.

DS1267 B BLO CK DIAGRAM Figure 1
I/O SHIFT REGISTER Figure 2
Transmission of data always begins with the stack select bit followed by the potentiometer-1 wiper
position value and lastly the potentiometer-0 wiper position value.
When wiper position data is to be written to the DS1267B, 17 bits (or some integer multiple) of data
should always be transmitted. Transactions which do not send a complete 17 bits (or multiple) will leave
the register incomplete and possibly an error in the desired wiper positions.
After a communication transaction has been completed, the
RST
signal input should be taken to a low
state to prevent any inadvertent changes to the device shift register. Once
RST
has reached a low state,
the contents of the I/O shift register are loaded into the respective multiplexers for setting wiper position.
A new wiper position will only engage after a
RST
transition to the inactive state. On device power-up
the DS1267B wiper positions will be set at 50% of the total resistance or binary value 1000 0000.

DS1267B
STACKED CONFI G URATION
The potentiometers of the DS1267B can be connected in series as shown in Figure 3. This is referred to
as the stacked configuration. The stacked configuration allows the user to double the total end-to-end
resistance of the part and the number of steps to 512 (or 9 bits of resolution).
The wiper output for the combined stacked potentiometer will be taken at the SOUT pin, which is the
multiplexed output of the wiper of potentiometer-0 (W0) or potentiometer-1 (W1). The potentiometer
wiper sel ected at the SOUT output is governed b y the setting of the stack se lect bit (bit 0) of the 17-bit I/O
shift register. If the stack select bit has value 0, the multiplexed output, SOUT, will be that of the
potentiometer-0 wiper. If the st ack select bit has value 1, the multiplexed output, SOUT, will be that of the
potentiometer-1 wiper.
STACKED CONFI G URATION Figure 3
CASCADE OPERATION
A feature of the DS1267B is the ability to control multiple devices from a single processor. Multiple
DS1267Bs can be linked or daisy-chained as shown in Figure 4. As a data bit is entered into the I/O shift
register of the DS1267B a bit will appear at the COUT output within a maximum delay of 50 nanose conds.
The stack select bit of the DS1267B will always be the first out the part at the beginning of a transaction.
Additionally the COUT pin is always active regardless of the state of
RST
. This allows one to read the I/O
shift register without changing its value.

DS1267B
The COUT output of the DS1267B can be used to drive the DQ input of another DS1267B. When
connecting multiple devices, the total number of bits transmitted is always 17 times the number of
DS1267Bs in the daisy chain.
An optional feedback resistor can be placed between the COUT terminal of the last device and the first
DS1267B DQ input, thus allowing the controlling processor to read as well as write data or circularly
clock data through the daisy chain. The value of the feedback or isolation resistor should be in the range
from 2Ω to 10kΩ.
When reading data via the COUT pin and isolation resistor, the DQ line is left floating by the reading
device. When
RST
is driven high, bit 17 is present on the COUT pin, which is fed back to the input DQ
pin through the isolation resistor. When the CLK input transitions low to high, bit 17 is loaded into the
first position of the I/O shift register and bit 16 becomes present on COUT and DQ of the next device. After
17 bits (or 17 times the number of DS1267Bs in the daisy chain), the data has shifted completely around
and back to its original position. When
RST
transitions to the low state to end data transfer, the value (the
same as before the read occurred) is loaded into the wiper-0, wiper-1, and stack select bit I/O register.
ABSOLUTE AND RELATIVE LINE ARITY
Absolute linearity, also known as integral nonlinearity, is defined as the difference between the actual
measured output voltage and the expected output voltage. Figure 5 presents the test circuit used to
measure absolute linearity. Absolute linearity is given in terms of a minimum increment or expected
output when the wiper is moved one position. In the case of the test circuit, a minimum increment (MI) or
one LSB would equal 10/512 volts. The equation for absolute linearity is given as follows:
(1) ABSOLUTE LINEARITY (INL)
AL={VO (actual) - VO (expected)}/MI
Relative Linearity, also known as differential nonlinearity, is a measure of error between two adjacent
wiper position points and is given in terms of MI by equation (2).
(2) RELATIVE LINEARITY (DNL)
RL={VO (n+1) - VO (n)}/MI
Figure 6 is a plot of absolute linearity and relative linearity versus wiper position for the DS1267B at
25°C. The specification for absolute linearity of the DS1267B is ±0.75 MI typical. The specification for
relative linearity of the DS1267B is ±0.3 MI typical.

TYPICAL APPLICATION CONFIG URATIONS
Figures 7 and 8 show two typical application configurations for the DS1267B. By connecting the wiper
terminal of the part to a high-impedance load, the effects of the wiper resistance is minimized, since the
wiper resi stance c an var y from 900Ω to 2000Ω depending on wiper voltage. Figure 7 presents the device
connected in an inverting variable gain amplifier. The gain of the circuit on Figure 7 is given by the

attenuate an incoming signal. Note the resistance R1 is chosen to be much greater than the wiper
resistance to minimize its effect on circuit gain.
