PRODUCTION DATA.
There are many applications in which voltage division is needed through the use of a digital potentiometer such as the TPL0401x-10-Q1; this is one example of the many. In conjunction with many amplifiers, the TPL0401x-10-Q1 can effectively be used in voltage divider mode to create a buffer to adjust the reference voltage for DDR3 DIMM1 Memory.
Table 3 lists the design parameters for this example.
PARAMETER | EXAMPLE VALUE |
---|---|
Input voltage | 1.5 V |
VREF | 0 V to 0.75 V |
The TPL0401x-10-Q1 can be used in voltage divider mode with a unity-gain op amp buffer to provide a clean voltage reference for DDR3 DIMM1 Memory. The analog output voltage, VREF1 is determined by the wiper setting programmed through the I2C bus.
The op amp is required to buffer the high-impedance output of the TPL0401x-10-Q1 or else loading placed on the output of the voltage divider affects the output voltage.
The voltage, 1.5 V, applied to terminal H of TPL0401x-10-Q1 determines the voltage that is buffered by the unity-gain op amp and divided as the DDR3 DIMM1 voltage reference. By using the TPL0401x-10-Q1, and dividing the 1.5 V, a maximum of 0.75 V is applied to the buffer and passed to the voltage divider. The output voltage then ranges from 0 V to 0.75 V.
