The Resistor Network is made up of two parts. These
are:
• Resistor Ladder
• Wiper

network.
Digital potentiometer applications can be divided into
two resistor network categories:
• Rheostat configuration
• Potentiometer (or voltage divider) configuration
The MCP4017 is a true rheostat, with terminal B and
the wiper (W) of the variable resistor available on pins.
The MCP4018 device offers a voltage divider
(potentiometer) with terminal B internally connected to
ground.
The MCP4019 device is a Rheostat device with
terminal A of the resistor floating, terminal B internally
connected to ground, and the wiper (W) available on
pin.

The resistor ladder is a series of equal value resistors
(R
resistors. The total number of resistors in the series
(ladder) determines the R
1). The end points of the resistor ladder are connected
to the device Terminal A and Terminal B pins. The R
(and R
and temperature.
The Resistor Network has 127 resistors in a string
between terminal A and terminal B. This gives 7-bits of
resolution.
The wiper can be set to tap onto any of these 127
resistors
(including terminal A and terminal B). This allows zero
scale to full scale connections.
A wiper setting of 00h connects the Terminal W (wiper)
to Terminal B (Zero Scale). A wiper setting of 3Fh is the
Mid scale setting. A wiper setting of 7Fh connects the
Terminal W (wiper) to Terminal A (Full Scale).

Terminal A and B as well as the wiper W do not have a
polarity. These terminals can support both positive and
negative current.

That is, each tap selection resistance
has a small variation. This variation has
more effect on devices with smaller R
