DS1868E-50

The DS1868E-50 is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is a nonvolatile digital potentiometer with two independent channels that can adjust its resistance digitally. Here is an overview of its key features: 1. Dual Potentiometer: The DS1868E-50 consists of two potentiometers or variable resistors, each having a distinct digital control interface. This feature allows users to adjust two different resistances independently. 2. Digital Control: The resistance values of the potentiometers can be adjusted digitally using a standard I2C interface. This digital control eliminates the need for manual adjustment with potentiometer knobs, providing precise and repeatable settings. 3. Nonvolatile Memory: The DS1868E-50 incorporates nonvolatile memory, which means that it can retain the programmed resistance values even when powered off. This characteristic ensures that the potentiometer settings are preserved during power cycles, making it suitable for applications requiring settings recall. 4. Wide Resistance Range: This IC component offers a broad range of resistance values. It can provide resistance from 60 ohms to 10 kilohms, allowing it to be used in various applications requiring different levels of resistance adjustments. 5. High Resolution: The DS1868E-50 provides high-resolution adjustments, with 256-tap potentiometers. This level of resolution enables fine-tuning of resistance values, making it ideal for precise control applications
