Le La carte Click Board™ DIGI POT 8 est une carte complémentaire compacte utilisée comme potentiomètre à commande numérique. Cette carte comprend le dispositif de résistance variable à commande numérique AD5206 à 6 canaux et 256 positions d'Analog Devices. Chaque canal de l'AD5206 contient une résistance fixe avec un contact de curseur qui capte la valeur de résistance fixe de 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ ou 100 kΩ à un point déterminé par un code numérique chargé dans le registre d'entrée série compatible SPI. Cette carte Click Board™ peut être utilisée comme remplacement de potentiomètre mécanique, conversion de tension en courant, réglage de gain et de décalage, et de nombreuses autres applications.
Le DIGI POT 8 Click Board™ est pris en charge par une bibliothèque compatible mikroSDK, qui comprend des fonctions qui simplifient le développement logiciel. Cette Click Board™ est un produit entièrement testé, prêt à être utilisé sur un système équipé du socket mikroBUS™.
How Does The Digi Pot 8 Click Board™ Work?
The DIGI Pot 8 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the AD5206, 6-channel 256-position digitally controlled device that performs the same electronic adjustment function as a potentiometer or variable resistor from Analog Devices. Each channel of the AD5206 contains a fixed resistor with a wiper contact that taps the fixed resistor value of 10kΩ, 50kΩ, or 100kΩ at a point determined by a digital code loaded into the SPI-compatible serial-input register. The resistance between the wiper and either endpoint of the fixed resistor varies linearly concerning the digital code transferred into the variable resistor (VR) latch. The AD5206 also has an internal Power-On preset that places the wiper in a preset midscale condition at the Power-On state.
The AD5206 communicates with MCU through the 3-Wire SPI serial interface with a maximum frequency of 10MHz. Each VR has its VR latch that holds its programmed resistance value. These VR latches are updated from an internal serial-to-parallel shift register loaded from a standard 3-wire SPI serial-input digital interface. Eleven data bits make up the data word clocked into the serial input register. The first three bits are decoded to determine which VR latch is loaded with the last eight bits of the data word when the CS pin of the SPI serial interface returns to a logic high state.
In addition to the AD5206 present on the DIGI POT 8, this Click board™ also has four 2x3 male headers. Three of them under the labels of A W and B, with also the appropriate number, represent the corresponding DIGI POT terminal of the AD5206, while the fourth header with the label VCC and GND represents an additional power supply output. Wiper terminal number 6, labeled as W6, also can be used as an auxiliary wiper output, routed to the AN pin of the mikroBUS ™ socket if the wiper back to the mikroBUS™ is required.
This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before use with MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
MIKROSDK
The DIGI POT 8 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
