JAJSHY2C September 2011 – September 2019 TPL0501-100
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPL0501 operates in rheostat mode when only two terminals are used as a variable resistor. The variable resistance can either be between terminal H and terminal W or between terminal L and terminal W. The unused terminal can be left floating or it can be tied to terminal W. The nominal resistance between terminal H and terminal L is 10 kΩ and has 256 tap points accessed by the wiper terminal. The 8-bit volatile register value is used to determine one of the 256 possible wiper positions.
To set the resistance between terminal H and terminal W in rheostat mode, the potentiometer can be configured in two possible ways (see Figure 13).
The general equation for determining the digitally programmed output resistance between Terminal H and Terminal W is Equation 3:

Similarly, to set the resistance between terminal L and terminal W, the potentiometer can be configured in two possible ways.
The general equation for determining the digitally programmed output resistance between terminal L and terminal W is Equation 4:
