WIPER RESISTANCECONSIDERATIONS

A simplified diagram of the DS2890 resistor array for the potentiometer configuration is shown in
FIGURE 8. In this figure the

r

DS

resistance of the wiper transistors in Figure 1 are modeled as wiper

resistance R

WIPER

. The value of R

WIPER

varies with device configuration, operational state, and wiper

terminal voltage. Wiper resistance is significantly reduced when an external VDD supply is used and the
device charge pump is enabled. A wiper resistance graph with the charge pump enabled is shown in
FIGURE 10.
