Intersil presents World’s Lowest Operating Voltage DCP
Intersil offers the widest selection of low-to-high resolution digital potentiometers in single dual and quad configurations. Available in both linear and non-linear tapers, these digital potentiometers replace mechanical potentiometers and trim resistors in applications where digital control allows microprocessor interfacing and extended functionality.
Digital Potentiometers – Also known as: Digitally Controlled Potentiometer, DCP, RDAC, Variable Resistor, Voltage Divider, Digital Pot, Digital Potentiometer
This device fits into Medical applications as follows:
- Adjust backlight control, contrast control
- Used to adjust sensor front-ends or gain compensation
