Product details

Three independent pots, three different resistance values

The Maxim DS3901E+ packs three separate digital potentiometer channels into a single 14-TSSOP package, but unlike a matched triple, each channel carries a different end-to-end resistance: 20 kΩ, 30 kΩ, and 50 kΩ. Each channel provides 256 wiper tap positions with a linear taper characteristic, controlled over an I²C interface with a selectable address so multiple DS3901E+ devices can share the same bus. The wiper position is stored in non-volatile memory, meaning the setting survives a power cycle — useful for calibration constants or trim values that should not need reloading at every power-up.

The typical temperature coefficient of 50 ppm/°C is tight enough that the resistance drift across the full temperature span stays within the ±20% tolerance band for most trim and adjustment uses.

The supplier device package code is 14-TSSOP — same mechanical outline as the generic TSSOP-14.

Frequently asked questions

What are the available resistance options for DS3901E+?

The DS3901E+ contains three independent potentiometer channels with different resistance values: one 20 kΩ, one 30 kΩ, and one 50 kΩ. Each channel has 256 wiper tap positions and a linear taper.
