OVERVIEW

The S9318 DACPOT™ trimmer is an 8-bit nonvolatile DAC designed to replace mechanical potentiometers. The S9318 includes a unity-gain amplifier to buffer the DAC output and enables V_OUT to swing from rail to rail. The DACPOT™ trimmer operates over a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V.

The S9318’s simple up/down counter input provides an ideal interface for automatic test equipment to dither and monitor the V_OUT voltage. This interface allows for quick and consistent calibration of even the most sophisticated systems.

The S9318 is a pin-compatible performance upgrade for other industry nonvolatile potentiometers. The S9318 offers double the resolution of these devices and provides ‘clickless’ transitions of V_OUT.
