Dual NV Audio Taper Digital Potentiometer
General Description
The DS1881 is a dual, nonvolatile (NV) digital poten-
tiometer designed to operate in audio systems that
require 5V signal levels. The potentiometer settings can
be stored in EEPROM so that they are retained when the
power is cycled. The DS1881 has separate supplies for
the potentiometers (V
CC
) and the communication circuit-
ry (V
DD
). For clickless/popless operation, a zero-crossing
detector allows the wiper position to change when there
is no voltage across the potentiometer. The device is
also designed to minimize crosstalk, and the two digital
potentiometers provide 0.5dB channel-to-channel match-
ing 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 pro-
vides software compatibility with the DS1808. When
Configuration Option 2 is used in combination with the
16-pin SO package, the DS1881 is both software and pin
compatible with the DS1808 in 5V applications.

All voltages are referenced to ground.
The value of V
DD
should never exceed V
CC
, including during power-ups. V
CC
must be applied before V
DD
.
I
DD
is specified with SDA = SCL =
CE
= V
DD
, resistor pins floating, and digital inputs connected to V
DD
or GND.
I
CC
is specified with SDA = SCL =
CE
= V
DD
, resistor pins floating, and digital inputs connected to V
DD
or GND, after zero-
crossing detection has timed out.
Note 5:
The DS1881 will not obstruct the SDA and SCL lines if V
DD
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 I
2
C standard-mode timing.
Note 10:

—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 com-
plete. Otherwise, EEPROM write begins after a STOP condition occurs.
