DS1669 Digital Potmeter UP/DOWN using microcontroller

Summary of DS1669 Digital Potmeter UP/DOWN using microcontroller


This project enables digital control of a Dallas DS1669 digital potentiometer using an AT90S1200 microcontroller and a standard potentiometer, offering smoother wiper adjustment compared to the typical two-button method. The design incorporates a crystal oscillator for timing and includes necessary components for voltage regulation, filtering, and signal conditioning to interface with the digital potentiometer effectively.

Parts used in the DS1669 Digital Control Project:

  • 1x AT90S1200-12PI
  • 1x DS1669 (Dallas)
  • 1x 78L05
  • 2x 1N4007
  • 1x 4MHz Crystal
  • 2x 27pF Capacitors
  • 1x 22pF Capacitor
  • 1x 47uF/16V Capacitor
  • 1x 100nF Polycarbonate Capacitor
  • 3x 100nF Multilayer Capacitors

DS1669 Digital Control:
With this circuit you’re able to control a Dallas DS1669 digipot with a normal potmeter. Usually you control the DS1669’s wiper with 2 push buttons (up/down) Disadvantage: Slight delay.
