The Resistor Network has either 7-bit or 8-bit resolu-
tion. Each Resistor Network allows zero scale to full
scale connections.
for the resistive network of a device.
The Resistor Network is made up of several parts.
These include:
• Resistor Ladder
• Wiper
• Shutdown (Terminal Connections)
Devices have either one or two resistor networks,
These are referred to as Pot 0 and Pot 1.

For an 8-bit device, there are 256 resistors in a string
between terminal A and terminal B. The wiper can be
set to tap onto any of these 256 resistors thus providing
257 possible settings (including terminal A and terminal
B).
For a 7-bit device, there are 128 resistors in a string
between terminal A and terminal B. The wiper can be
set to tap onto any of these 128 resistors thus providing
129 possible settings (including terminal A and terminal
B).
