Triple 128-Position Nonvolatile Digital
Variable Resistor/Switch
General Description
The DS3904/DS3905 contain three nonvolatile (NV) low
temperature coefficient, variable digital resistors. Each
resistor has 128 user-selectable positions. Additionally,
the DS3904/DS3905 have a high-impedance setting that
allows each resistor to function as a digital switch. The
DS3904/DS3905 can operate over a 2.7V to 5.5V supply
voltage range, and communication with the device is
achieved through a 2-wire serial interface. Address pins
allow multiple DS3904/DS3905s to operate on the same
two-wire bus. The DS3904 has one address pin, allow-
ing two DS3904s to share the bus, while the DS3905
has three address pins, allowing up to eight DS3905s to
share a common bus. The low-cost and small size of the
DS3904/DS3905 make them ideal replacements for con-
ventional mechanical trimming resistors.

All voltages are referenced to ground.
Applies to A0, SDA, SCL for the DS3904 and A0, A1, A2, SDA, SCL for the DS3905. Also applies to H0, H1,
H2 for both DS3904 and DS3905 when in the high-impedance state.
Note 3:

specified with SDA = SCL = V
CC
and A0 = GND.
Note 4:
Absolute linearity is used to determine expected resistance. Absolute linearity is defined as the deviation
from the straight line drawn from the value of the resistance at position 00h to the value of the resistance at
position 7Fh.
Note 5:
Relative linearity is used to determine the change of resistance between two adjacent resistor positions.
Note 6:
Temperature coefficient specifies the change in resistance as a function of temperature. The temperature
coefficient varies with resistor position. Limits are guaranteed by design.
Note 7:
A fast-mode device can be used in a standard-mode system, but the requirement t
SU:DAT
> 250ns must
then be met. This is automatically the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal.
If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA
line t
RMAX
+ t
SU:DAT
= 1000ns + 250ns =1250ns before the SCL line is released.
Note 8:
After this period, the first clock pulse is generated.
Note 9:
The maximum t
HD:DAT
has only to be met if the device does not stretch the LOW period (t
LOW
) of the SCL
signal.
