How to Interpret DS1852 Temperature and Voltage Readings

Abstract: The DS1852 is a digital potentiometer with five analog inputs that can be used in conjunction with the potentiometers to gather feedback information about an analog system, as well as provide analog control functions. Its intended application is to provide a high level of control and instrumentation in a laser transceiver, but it could be used in any sort of control system where this kind of instrumentation and control is required. This application brief discusses the interpretation of the analog input registers in the DS1852. It is intended as a supplement to the data sheet for a software/firmware developer writing code to control the DS1852.
