Working Principles

The DS1869S-10 is a digital potentiometer that utilizes a combination of resistive elements and electronic switches to adjust its resistance value. It operates based on the principle of varying the position of a wiper along a resistive track. The position of the wiper determines the effective resistance between the two terminals.

By sending control signals through the I²C interface, the microcontroller can adjust the wiper position digitally, allowing for precise resistance values. The non-volatile memory ensures that the resistance settings are retained even when power is disconnected.
