9 Application Information

The AS1507 is intended for circuits requiring digitally controlled adjustable resistance, such as LCD contrast control

(where voltage biasing adjusts the display contrast), or programmable filters with adjustable gain and/or cutoff fre-

quency.

Programmable Filter

Figure 25 shows the configuration for a 1st-order programmable filter.

Offset Voltage and Gain Adjustment

Connect one potentiometer of the AS1507 to an op amp to nullify the offset voltage over the operating temperature

range. Use the second potentiometer in the feedback path to adjust the gain of the op amp (Figure 26).
