In this episode of electronics basics we will be having a look at digital potentiometers. You can use them to control any circuit digitally by replacing their mechanical potentiometers with them. But there can be pitfalls when trying to simply replacing the potentiometer. That is why I will tell you all about digital potentiometers which includes how to control them, what kind of current and voltage they can handle and how to properly use them. Let's get started!

You don't have to remove the original potentiometer of these buck converters. You just need to "inject" some extra voltage to the shorted pins (pin 2 and 3) of the onboard potentiometer through a resistor and by this you can trick the buck controller chip and control it perfectly. I did this already quite some time ago using a MCP4725 12-bit DAC and an SZBK07 buck converter. This DAC has higher resolution than those digital potmeters, so you can control the voltage on a really fine scale.
@DavidMishchenko
@DavidMishchenko 2 роки тому
Yeah, just check the voltage range on each potentiometer pin, set potentiometer to highest resistance and solder onto the appropriate pin without removing the potentiometer.
@CuriousScientist
@CuriousScientist 2 роки тому
@@DavidMishchenko Yes, that is what I did. I knew the maximum voltage because of the maximum output voltage of the SZBK07 buck converter. Then I also knew my maximum controlling voltage and based on this I picked a resistor which through I fed the potentiometer.

I remember reading it's not that easy to use a digital pot for audio applications, at least not as a direct replacement for a mechanical pot. The reason is you get pops on the audio every time you adjust it up/down and it requires some complications to the circuit so it only adjusts at zero-crossing....would be great to see a project like this though :)

Just a circuit idea I had recently: I think its possible to do the same thing (µC Control of such a DC/DC convertors output voltage) without the "exotic" part just by altering the feedback path a bit. Use a simple DAC (PWM pin is fine), Filter & Buffer that voltage using an opamp (a "rail-to-rail" one might be necessary), select the components around the opamp such that the resulting µC controllable voltage ranges from 0V up to the regulation point voltage specific to the DC/DC converter (= the voltage at the wiper of the DC adjustment pot which is kept constant by the DC/DC's own control IC) to get the maximum resolution in the end. Now adjust the voltage pot of the unmodified DC/DC to the maximum output voltage you want to be able to get out of the system. Then just keep this voltage pot in the circuit - but replace the "GND" point of the feedback circuit's resistive divider with the µC controlled DAC Voltage described above. Now you should have linear (!) control of the DC/DC's output voltage by setting the DAC - note however that the control will be reversed, a high DAC voltage results in a low DC/DC output and vice versa. Disclaimer: I have not tried this yet, but I think this should work and if so it's quite an elegant hack I think.

Ok. Nice video. But I didn’t understand it. I’m building a variable speed controller for a 4.25 hp, 130 VDC treadmill motor. I’m using a SCR, bridge rectifier, DC choke to drive the motor. I have a potentiometer on my SCR. I turned it slowly until the motor started turning. Then I measured the resistance (301 k). So I broke that down by using a 275k and 30k pots. One for rough rpm adjustment and one for fine. Would it be better to use a digital pot on this? If so, what kind do I get and how to hook it up. Your help is appreciated. Thanks, Paul

A few years ago i took apart a radio that had an electronically controlled volume potentiometer (if i'm not mistaken, i think it was volume). This was a radio from the 90's. Their solution to this problem? The potentiometer had a dc motor stuck to its back, if the radio deemed the volume too low, it just turned its own knob with the motor to crank the volume. Beautifully simple and complex at the same time.

Scott mentions in the video that these digital potentiometers can be used to control the volume of audio circuits. However, it is not really recommended to use an ordinary digital pot for such a task, as these usually make a "zipper like" sound with audio signals when you move the wiper up or down. For this kind of application you should use a specialised audio digital potentiometer with built-in zero crossing detection, like Dallas Semiconductor's DS1801 or DS1802. With these you can save some headache for yourself.

Interesting video as always. I had been wondering about these and I appreciate your 'review' of them, thank you. I have read some of the other comments and a few are a bit above my knowledge of electronics to get my head around easily. However, if one wanted to create a simple digital pot with fine adjustment with simple inputs, what about a small N20 gear motor directly coupled with a 3590s 10 turn pot? You wouldn't need anything other than a switch to drive it - no I2C etc. You could even drive it with an Arduino (though it could overload the pin - it is at about the max current), but a cheap H bridge would be safer. I'd personally make the coupler not absolutely tight so that if the pot gets to the end the coupler will slip rather than break something. Anyways, just my take on it. If you want to try it, let me know and I could model it up for 3D printing.

A question that occurs to me: if a higher voltage needs to be handled, why not put the DP between the base and emitter of an NPN transistor and vary between just off to turn-on needed? It would be less than 0.7V and take only a little bit of math to calculate. Or do the same thing using an open collector Opto Coupler instead of the transistor.

I'm wondering why they would put 100 resistors in a chip, when I would assume one could easily work with power-of-two increasing resistors, and enabling them in parallel to efficiently create the desired resistance. With only 10 resistors you could have 1024 steps.
@RexxSchneider
@RexxSchneider 2 роки тому
Because of the tolerance available on the resistors. If the the biggest resistor is 512 times as big as the smallest, then it would need much better than 0.1% accuracy to maintain linearity when it is switched in and out. It's much easier to make 100 identical resistors with a fairly close tolerance, which would ensure that each step increases by nearly the same amount.

Like Rex said, there are those topologies available indeed, also R 2R approaches, but meanwhile practical for low resolution and precision, it starts to get insanely hard to make up the hill. I've made myself an ADC for a PIC16F628A which doesn't have an internal ADC. Made a 6 bit R 2R one, chose one of the ports and made that one control the resistors in successive approximation (Output most significant bit, compare, store, next most significant, repeat). Worked like a charm, had pretty decent resistors at hand, and hand measured them all to make the pairs and individuals match perfectly. Still not like I would trust it to any high precision application, and that's just 64 levels. On ICs they're usually laser trimmed on the die.

Very cool! This immediately brings to mind a scene from Star Trek - "...computer decrease illumination by 50%"

If you put a comparator (opamp) between the feedback voltage and the PWM chip, then you can work with 5V or so. Then put the Digital Potentiometer with another 10k resistor to form voltage divider, and add that to the other opamp input. So the Boost Convertor's 0-25V becomes 0-5V, and you can adjust the other voltage divider it's being compared against. As the PWM FB pin expects something like 1.2V before it triggers, you need a 3rd voltage divider on the Opamp output.
