Dual, Temperature-Controlled Resistors with Internally Calibrated Monitors and Password Protection
General Description
The DS1856 dual, temperature-controlled, nonvolatile (NV) variable resistors with three monitors consists of two 256-position, linear, variable resistors; three analog monitor inputs (MON1, MON2, MON3); and a direct-todigital temperature sensor. The device provides an ideal method for setting and temperature-compensating bias voltages and currents in control applications using minimal circuitry. The variable resistor settings are stored in EEPROM memory and can be accessed over the 2-wire serial bus. Relative to other members of the family, the DS1856 is essentially a DS1859 with a DS1852-friendly memory map.
