Dual Log Audio Digital Potentiometer
The DS1882 is a dual, nonvolatile (NV) digital potentiometer designed to operate in audio systems that
accomodate up to ±7V signal levels. The potentiometer
settings can be stored in EEPROM so that they are
retained when the power is cycled. The DS1882 has
separate supplies for the potentiometers (VCC) and the
communication circuitry (VDD). For clickless/popless
operation, a zero-crossing detector allows the wiper
position to change when there is no voltage across the
potentiometer. The DS1882 is also designed to minimize crosstalk, and the two digital potentiometers provide 0.5dB channel-to-channel matching to prevent
volume differences between channels. Total harmonic
distortion (THD) is also minimal as long as the wiper
drives a high-impedance load.
Two attenuation configuration options provide optimum
flexibility for the specific application. Configuration
Option 1 provides 63 logarithmic tapered steps (0dB to
-62dB, 1dB/step) plus a mute setting. Configuration
Option 2 has 32 logarithmic steps plus mute and provides software compatibility with the DS1808. When
Configuration Option 2 is used in combination with the
16-pin SO package, the DS1882 is both software and pin
compatible with the DS1808 in 5V applications.

All voltages are referenced to ground.
The value of VDD should never exceed VCC, including during power-ups. VCC must be applied before VDD.
IDD is specified with SDA = SCL = CE = VDD, resistor pins floating, and digital inputs connected to VDD or GND.
ICC is specified with SDA = SCL = CE = VDD, resistor pins floating, and digital inputs connected to VDD or GND, after zerocrossing detection has timed out.
Note 5: The DS1882 will not obstruct the SDA and SCL lines if VDD is switched off as long as the voltages applied to these inputs
do not violate their minimum and maximum input voltage levels.
Note 6: Guaranteed by design.
Note 7: Above Position 50, these are typical maximum. Guaranteed by characterization.
Note 8: Load is representative of the input of a low-noise audio amp.
Note 9: Timing shown is for fast-mode (400kHz) operation. This device is also backward-compatible with I2C standard-mode timing.
Note 10: CB—Total capacitance of one bus line in picofarads.
Note 11: If zero-crossing detection is enabled, the EEPROM write does not begin until the current zero-crossing detection is complete. Otherwise, EEPROM write begins after a STOP condition occurs.

Dual Log Audio Digital Potentiometer
The DS1882 is a dual-channel, digitally controlled,
audio potentiometer. The Block Diagram illustrates the
features of the DS1882. The following sections discuss
these features in detail.
Potentiometer Configurations
The DS1882 potentiometers have two possible attenuation configuration options. The Configuration Register
section discusses how to change between the two
options. Note that both potentiometers are always set to
the same option.
The factory default for both potentiometers is Option 1
(see Table 1). Option 1 provides 64 positions with 1dB
attenuation per step for positions 0 through 62 and
mute as position 63. Option 2 (see Table 2) is a 34position configuration. From position 0, the first 12
steps have 1dB attenuation per step, the next 12 have
2dB attenuation per step, and the following 8 steps
have 3dB attenuation per step. The last position, position 33, is the mute setting.
Zero-Crossing Detection
Zero-crossing detection is a user-selectable feature
used to help eliminate clicking or popping noises during changes of potentiometer settings. See the
Configuration Register section to learn how to enable
the zero-crossing detection feature.
After the I2C master issues a command to change the
wiper position and the DS1882 has responded with an
acknowledge (ACK) to the command, the DS1882 has
a 50ms window to change the wiper position. The
DS1882 constantly monitors the voltage of the high and
low terminals of both potentiometers. During the 50ms
window, if the zero-crossing detection is enabled, then
each potentiometer’s wiper will change position if the
high and low terminals of the same potentiometer
become equal in potential (i.e., the magnitude of the
input signal is zero). If a zero-crossing event does not
occur within the 50ms window, then the wiper is
allowed to change to the new position regardless of the
state of the input signal. When the zero-crossing detection feature is not enabled, the DS1882 will allow wiper
movement as soon as the DS1882 has issued the
acknowledge to the master-controlling device.

The Command Byte determines both the potentiometer
wiper settings and the configuration of both potentiometers. This is done by setting the two MSBs of the
Command Byte to one of three values. If 00 is set as
the value for the two MSBs, then the wiper setting for
Potentiometer 0 is to be programmed. If 01 is set as the
value, then the wiper setting of Potentiometer 1 is to be
programmed. See the Potentiometer Wiper Setting section for more details about writing the wiper setting. A
value of 10 indicates that the Configuration Register is
to be programmed. A value of 11 is reserved and is not
to be used. See the Configuration Register section for
more information. Any values other than the three discussed above will result in no action by the part. See
below for the Command Byte structure.

Dual Log Audio Digital Potentiometer
Three pins, A0, A1, A2, serve as slave address inputs.
For multidrop configurations, they allow eight such
devices to be addressed by the same I2C bus. If the
I2C address matches the hardware levels of these bits,
the DS1882 is allowed to receive communications from
the I2C bus.
The I2C slave address byte is shown below. This is the
first byte transmitted from the master to the DS1882.
The upper nibble value is fixed to 0101. Bit values A2,
A1, and A0 are determined by the states of the corresponding pins. The LSB, R/W, determines whether a
read or write will be performed.
The next byte to be transmitted is the Command Byte
(see the Command Byte section for details).

Reading Pot Values
As shown in Figure 1, the DS1882 provides one read
command operation. This operation allows the user to
read both Potentiometer Wiper Setting Registers and
the Configuration Register. To initiate a read operation,
the R/W bit of the slave address byte is set to 1.
Communication to read the DS1882 begins with a
START condition, which is issued by the master device.
The slave address byte sent from the master device follows the START condition. Once a matching slave
address byte has been received by the DS1882, the
DS1882 responds with an acknowledge. The master
can then begin to receive data. The value of the wiper
of Potentiometer 0 is the first returned from the DS1882.
It is then followed by the value of Potentiometer 1 and
then the value of the Configuration Register. Once the 8
bits of the Configuration Register have been sent, the
master needs to issue an acknowledge, unless it is the
last byte to be read, in which case the master issues a
not acknowledge. If desired, the master may stop the
communication transfer at this point by issuing the
STOP condition after the not acknowledge. However, if
the value of the three registers is needed again, the
transfer can continue by clocking the 8 bits of the
Potentiometer 0 value as described above.

DS1882
I2C Interface for the DS1882
The CE pin serves as a communication enable pin.
When active (CE = 0), the inputs SDA and SCL are recognized by the device. If inactive (CE = 1), pins SDA
and SCL are disabled, making I 2 C communication
impossible.
Writing Command Byte Values
I2C Definitions
An example of writing to the DS1882 is shown in Figure 2.
The DS1882 has one write command that is used to
change the Potentiometer Wiper Setting Registers and
the Configuration Register. All write operations begin with
a START from the master, followed by a slave address
byte. The R/W bit should be written to 0, which initiates
a write command. Once the slave address byte has
been issued and the master receives the acknowledge
from the DS1882, potentiometer wiper data is transmitted to the DS1882 by the master device.
If the potentiometer has been configured to be written
in nonvolatile memory (see the Configuration Register
section), then the acknowledge needs to be followed
with a STOP command. This command is required from
the master at the end of data transmission to initiate the
EEPROM write. The STOP command is also accepted if
the user has configured the pot values to be written in
volatile memory, but no EEPROM is written to.
I2C Serial Interface Description
Master Device: The master device controls the slave
devices on the bus. The master device generates SCL
clock pulses, START and STOP conditions.
Slave Devices: Slave devices send and receive data
at the master’s request.
I2C interface supports a bidirectional data transmission
protocol with device addressing. A device that sends
data on the bus is defined as a transmitter, and a
device receiving data as a receiver. The device that
controls the message is called a master. The devices
that are controlled by the master are slaves. The bus
must be controlled by a master device that generates
the serial clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and
generates the START and STOP conditions. The
DS1882 operates as a slave on the I2C bus. Connections
to the bus are made by the open-drain I/O lines, SDA
and SCL. The following I/O terminals control the I2C
serial port: CE, SDA, SCL, A0, A1, and A2. A data
transfer protocol and a timing diagram are provided in
Figures 3 and 4. The following terminology is commonly
used to describe I2C data transfers.
Bus Idle or Not Busy: Time between STOP and START
conditions when both SDA and SCL are inactive and in
their logic-high states. When the bus is idle it often initiates a low-power mode for slave devices.
START Condition: A START condition is generated by
the master to initiate a new data transfer with a slave.
Transitioning SDA from high to low while SCL remains
high generates a START condition. See the timing diagram for applicable timing.
STOP Condition: A STOP condition is generated by
the master to end a data transfer with a slave.
Transitioning SDA from low to high while SCL remains
high generates a STOP condition. See the timing diagram for applicable timing.
Repeated START Condition: The master can use a
repeated START condition at the end of one data transfer to indicate that it will immediately initiate a new data
transfer following the current one. Repeated STARTs
are commonly used during read operations to identify a
specific memory address to begin a data transfer. A
repeated START condition is issued identically to a normal START condition. See the timing diagram for
applicable timing.
Bit Write: Transitions of SDA must occur during the low
state of SCL. The data on SDA must remain valid and
unchanged during the entire high pulse of SCL plus the
setup and hold-time requirements (see Figure 4). Data is
shifted into the device during the rising edge of the SCL.
Bit Read: At the end of a write operation, the master
must release the SDA bus line for the proper amount of

receiving data (the master during a read or the slave
during a write operation) performs an ACK by transmitting a zero during the 9th bit. A device performs a
NACK by transmitting a one during the 9th bit. Timing
(Figure 4) for the ACK and NACK is identical to all other
bit writes. An ACK is the acknowledgment that the
device is properly receiving data. A NACK is used to
terminate a read sequence or as an indication that the
device is not receiving data.
Acknowledgement (ACK and NACK): An Acknowledgement (ACK) or Not Acknowledge (NACK) is always the
9th bit transmitted during a byte transfer. The device

setup time (see Figure 4) before the next rising edge of
SCL during a bit read. The device shifts out each bit of
data on SDA at the falling edge of the previous SCL
pulse, and the data bit is valid at the rising edge of the
current SCL pulse. Remember that the master generates all SCL clock pulses, including when it is reading
bits from the slave.

Byte Write: A byte write consists of 8 bits of information transferred from the master to the slave (most significant bit first) plus a 1-bit acknowledgement from the
slave to the master. The 8 bits transmitted by the master are done according to the bit write definition and the
acknowledgement is read using the bit read definition.
Byte Read: A byte read is an 8-bit information transfer
from the slave to the master plus a 1-bit ACK or NACK
from the master to the slave. The 8 bits of information
that are transferred (most significant bit first) from the
slave to the master are read by the master using the bit
read definition, and the master transmits an ACK using
the bit write definition to receive additional data bytes.
The master must NACK the last byte read to terminate
communication so the slave will return control of SDA to
the master.
Slave Address Byte: Each slave on the I 2 C bus
responds to a slave addressing byte sent immediately
following a START condition. The slave address byte
(Figure 5) contains the slave address in the most significant 7 bits and the R/W bit in the least significant bit.
The DS1882’s slave address is 0101 A2 A1 A0 (binary),
where A2, A1, and A0 are the values of the address
pins. The address pins allow the device to respond to
one of eight possible slave addresses. By writing the
correct slave address with R/W = 0, the master indicates it will write data to the slave. If R/W = 1, the master will read data from the slave. If an incorrect slave
address is written, the DS1882 will assume the master is
communicating with another I2C device and ignore the
communications until the next START condition is sent.
I2C Communication
Writing a Single Byte to a Slave: The master must
generate a START condition, write the slave address
byte (R/W = 0), write the byte of data, and generate a
STOP condition. The master must read the slave’s
acknowledgement during all byte write operations.

Writing Multiple Bytes to a Slave: To write multiple
bytes to a slave, the master generates a START condition, writes the slave address byte (R/W = 0), writes the
desired number of data bytes and generates a STOP
condition. The DS1882 is capable of writing both potentiometer wiper settings and the Configuration Register
with a single write transaction.
Acknowledge Polling: Any time an EEPROM location
is written, the DS1882 requires the EEPROM write time
(tW) after the STOP condition to write the contents of
the byte of data to EEPROM. During the EEPROM write
time, the device will not acknowledge its slave address
because it is busy. It is possible to take advantage of
that phenomenon by repeatedly addressing the
DS1882, which allows the next page to be written as
soon as the DS1882 is ready to receive the data. The
alternative to acknowledge polling is to wait for a maximum period of tW to elapse before attempting to write
again to the device.
EEPROM Write Cycles: When EEPROM writes occur to
the memory, the DS1882 will write to all three EEPROM
memory locations, even if only a single byte was modified. Because all three bytes are written, the bytes that
were not modified during the write transaction are still
subject to a write cycle. This can result in all three bytes
being worn out over time by writing a single byte repeatedly. The DS1882’s EEPROM write cycles are specified in
the NV Memory Characteristics table. The specification
shown is at the worst-case temperature. If zero-crossing
detection is enabled, EEPROM write cycles cannot begin
until after the zero-crossing detection is complete.
Reading a Single Byte from a Slave: To read a single
byte from the slave, the master generates a START condition, writes the slave address byte with R/W = 1, reads
the data byte with a NACK to indicate the end of the
transfer, and generates a STOP condition. When a single
byte is read, it will always be the Potentiometer 0 value.
Reading Multiple Bytes from a Slave: The read operation can be used to read multiple bytes with a single
transfer. When reading bytes from the slave, the master
simply ACKs the data byte if it desires to read another
byte before terminating the transaction. After the master reads the last byte, it NACKs to indicate the end of
the transfer and generates a STOP condition. The first
byte read will be the Potentiometer 0 Wiper Setting. The
next byte will be the Potentiometer 1 Wiper Setting. The
third byte is the Configuration Register byte. If an ACK
is issued by the master following the Configuration
Register byte, then the DS1882 will send the
Potentiometer 0 Wiper Setting again. This round robin
reading will occur as long as each byte read is followed
by an ACK from the master.

Power-Supply Decoupling
To achieve best results, it is recommended that the
power supplies are decoupled with a 0.01µF or a 0.1µF
capacitor. Use high-quality, ceramic, surface-mount
capacitors, and mount the capacitors as close as possible to the voltage supplies and GND pins to minimize
lead inductance.
SDA and SCL Pullup Resistors
SDA is an open-collector output on the DS1882 that
requires a pullup resistor to realize high logic levels. A
master using either an open-collector output with a
pullup resistor or a push-pull output driver can be utilized for SCL. Pullup resistor values should be chosen
to ensure that the rise and fall times listed in the AC
Electrical Characteristics table are within specification.
