NAME
DS2890 - 1-Wire Digital Potentiometer
SYNOPSIS
Variable resistance
2C [.]XXXXXXXXXXXX[XX][/[ chargepump | wiper | address | crc8 | id | locator | r_address | r_id |
r_locator | type ]]
FAMILY CODE
2C
SPECIAL PROPERTIES
chargepump
read-write, yes-no
State of the chargepump in the chip (0 = off 1 = on). Only available if external power is available
(hence not in the TO-92 packaging) at pin Vdd.
When chargepump is on, the wiper resistance will range between Rh and Rl relatively linearly.
When chargepump is off, the wiper resistance (to ground) will range relatively linearly (to 100kOhms).
wiper
read-write, unsigned integer
Value of the variable element, 0 to 255. The actual interpretation of wiper depands on the chargepump
state, but in general 0 is low and 255 is high.
STANDARD PROPERTIES
address
r_address
read-only, ascii
The entire 64-bit unique ID. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).
address starts with the family code
r address is the address in reverse order, which is often used in other applications and labeling.
crc8
read-only, ascii
The 8-bit error correction portion. Uses cyclic redundancy check. Computed from the preceding 56 bits of
the unique ID number. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).
family
read-only, ascii
The 8-bit family code. Unique to each type of device. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).
id
r_id
read-only, ascii
The 48-bit middle portion of the unique ID number. Does not include the family code or CRC. Given as
upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).
r id is the id in reverse order, which is often used in other applications and labeling.
locator
r_locator
read-only, ascii
Uses an extension of the 1-wire design from iButtonLink company that associated 1-wire physical
connections with a unique 1-wire code. If the connection is behind a Link Locator the locator will show a
unique 8-byte number (16 character hexadecimal) starting with family code FE.
If no Link Locator is between the device and the master, the locator field will be all FF.
r locator is the locator in reverse order.
present (DEPRECATED)
read-only, yes-no
Is the device currently present on the 1-wire bus?
type
read-only, ascii
Part name assigned by Dallas Semi. E.g. DS2401 Alternative packaging (iButton vs chip) will not be
distiguished.
ALARMS
The device condition that will cause individual DS2890s to participate in a Conditional Search is a wiper
position located at the power-on default setting (00h). This feature enables the bus master to easily
determine whether a potentiometer has gone through a power-on reset and needs to be re-configured with a
required wiper position setting.
DESCRIPTION
1-Wire
1-wire is a wiring protocol and series of devices designed and manufactured by Dallas Semiconductor, Inc.
The bus is a low-power low-speed low-connector scheme where the data line can also provide power.
Each device is uniquely and unalterably numbered during manufacture. There are a wide variety of devices,
including memory, sensors (humidity, temperature, voltage, contact, current), switches, timers and data
loggers. More complex devices (like thermocouple sensors) can be built with these basic devices. There
are also 1-wire devices that have encryption included.
The 1-wire scheme uses a single bus master and multiple slaves on the same wire. The bus master initiates
all communication. The slaves can be individually discovered and addressed using their unique ID.
Bus masters come in a variety of configurations including serial, parallel, i2c, network or USB adapters.
OWFS design
OWFS is a suite of programs that designed to make the 1-wire bus and its devices easily accessible. The
underlying principle is to create a virtual filesystem, with the unique ID being the directory, and the
individual properties of the device are represented as simple files that can be read and written.
Details of the individual slave or master design are hidden behind a consistent interface. The goal is to
provide an easy set of tools for a software designer to create monitoring or control applications. There
are some performance enhancements in the implementation, including data caching, parallel access to bus
masters, and aggregation of device communication. Still the fundemental goal has been ease of use,
flexibility and correctness rather than speed.
DS2890
The D2890 (3) allows variable resistance under 1-wire control. Possible uses are analog feedback
mechanisms (sound pitch, light level).
Although there are provisions in the datasheet for different DS2890 configurations (non-linear wiper
ranges, multiple wipers, different resistance scales) non are in production. To simplify implementation,
this driver assumes the standard DS2890 design.
ADDRESSING
All 1-wire devices are factory assigned a unique 64-bit address. This address is of the form:
Family Code
8 bits
Address
48 bits
CRC 8 bits
Addressing under OWFS is in hexadecimal, of form:
01.123456789ABC
where 01 is an example 8-bit family code, and 12345678ABC is an example 48 bit address.
The dot is optional, and the CRC code can included. If included, it must be correct.
