Working Principles

The DS1869S-C04 utilizes a combination of digital logic and resistive elements to provide programmable resistance. It consists of two channels, each with a wiper terminal and a fixed terminal. The resistance between the wiper and fixed terminals can be adjusted digitally using the serial interface.

When a specific resistance value is programmed, the DS1869S-C04 adjusts the position of the wiper terminal along the resistive element to achieve the desired resistance. The non-volatile memory ensures that the programmed resistance is retained even when power is removed.
