APPLICATIONS EXAMPLES

Non-volatile digital potentiometers have a multitude of

practical uses in modern electronic circuits. The most

popular uses include precision calibration of set point

thresholds, sensor trimming, LCD bias trimming, audio

attenuation, adjustable power supplies, motor control

overcurrent trip setting, adjustable gain amplifiers and

offset

trimming.

The

MCP454X/456X/464X/466X

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).

Techniques to force the HVC pin

to VIHH

The circuit in Figure 8-1 shows a method using the

TC1240A doubling charge pump. When the SHDN pin

is high, the TC1240A is off, and the level on the HVC

pin is controlled by the PIC® microcontrollers (MCUs)

IO2 pin.

When the SHDN pin is low, the TC1240A is on and the

VOUT voltage is 2 * VDD. The resistor R1 allows the

HVC pin to go higher than the voltage such that the PIC

MCU’s IO2 pin “clamps” at approximately VDD.

generate the VIHH voltage.

The circuit in Figure 8-2 shows the method used on the

MCP402X Non-volatile Digital Potentiometer Evalua-

tion Board (Part Number: MCP402XEV). This method

requires that the system voltage be approximately 5V.

This ensures that when the PIC10F206 enters a

brown-out condition, there is an insufficient voltage

level on the HVC pin to change the stored value of the

wiper. The MCP402X Non-volatile Digital Potentiome-

ter Evaluation Board User’s Guide (DS51546) contains

a complete schematic.

GP0 is a general purpose I/O pin, while GP2 can either

be a general purpose I/O pin or it can output the internal

clock.

For the serial commands, configure the GP2 pin as an

input (high impedance). The output state of the GP0 pin

will determine the voltage on the HVC pin (VIL or VIH).

For high-voltage serial commands, force the GP0

output pin to output a high level (VOH) and configure the

GP2 pin to output the internal clock. This will form a

charge pump and increase the voltage on the HVC pin

(when the system voltage is approximately 5V).
