HVDigitalPot2F
Contents
High Voltage Digital Pot (10-bit) Fast Version
Features
Most digital potentiometers are limited in the voltages that they can have at the end terminals to be within +5V and Ground. This makes operation with high voltages difficult. This design allows for higher voltages on the end terminals.
- Supports SPI transfers (much faster than Arduino bit banging)
- Single-channel, 256-/1024-position resolution
- 20 kΩ, 50 kΩ, and 100 kΩ nominal resistance
- Maximum ±1% nominal resistor tolerance error (resistor performance mode)
- 20-times programmable wiper memory
- Rheostat mode temperature coefficient: 35 ppm/°C
- Voltage divider temperature coefficient: 5 ppm/°C
- +9 V to +33 V single-supply operation
- +9 V to -16.5 V dual-supply operation
- See data sheet for additional features

Driver
Here is the 10-bit High Voltage Arduino Driver. This driver needs to be modified to use the SPI interface.
Accelerating Writes
Here are some notes on accelerating writes by using the SPI bus pins on the Arduino. Note that this card is an improvments over the HVDigitalPot2 since it has separate chip select lines which allows SPI transfers to be done.
