Controlling a DS1804 Using an 8051-Compatible Microcontroller

摘要 : The DS1804 is a digital potentiometer with EEPROM memory with an interface designed primarily to be interfaced to a pushbutton (human interface). With careful consideration as to the functionality of these pushbutton controls, the DS1804 can also be interfaced directly to a microcontroller via the pushbutton pins. This application note describes how to do this with an example given using an 8051-type processor. Source code in assembly language is also given to simplify the design task for engineers trying to use the DS1804 in this type of application. Topics covered include:

How to change the potentiometer setting without updating the EEPROM.
How to change the potentiometer setting with changing the EEPROM.
How to write the current potentiometer setting into EEPROM memory.

Introduction

The DS1804 Nonvolatile (NV) Trimmer Potentiometer is ideal for use in any system that requires a biasing voltage, current, or resistance with or without manual adjustments. Its increment/decrement interface allows either the use of minimal external hardware for manual adjustments or a microcontoller for autonomous operation. The wiper can be adjusted to one of 100 positions, and any value can be stored in the part's NV register to select the wiper value at power-up. The part also offers several small packaging options, including 8-pin DIP, SOIC, µSOP, and flip-chip packages.

This application note provides a simple hardware and software set-up for controlling the DS1804 with a Dallas Semiconductor DS87C520 (8051) Microcontroller.

Hardware Setup for Microcontoller Communication with a DS1804

One of the primary benefits of using a DS1804 is the simplicity of the hardware and software control interface. Only three connections are required between the potentiometer and the microcontroller: chip select, up/down select, and increment, which are on pins P1.6, P1.5, and P1.4 of the microcontroller in Figure 1, respectively. Two additional components for supporting the 8051 program are shown on the schematic. The first is a EconOscillator chip that provides a 22.22 MHz clock for the 8051; an LED attached to P1.0 is the second. Functioning as a status indicator in the program, the LED is toggled intermittently to show that the program is still executing.

Figure 1. Schematic showing the DS87C520 and DS1804 connections.

The DS1077 can be replaced with a 22.118 MHz crystal. Instructions for operating the DS87C520 with a crystal clock source are available in Dallas Semiconductor's High Speed Microcontroller User's Manual. It should be noted that the DS87C520 is capable of operating with up to a 33 MHz clock; however, the delays used in the software depend upon the clock frequency. Operating the DS87C520 at a higher clock rate can potentially cause timing faults with the DS1804, while operating at a lower frequency should have no ill effects.

Using the CS, INC, and UD Signals to Control the DS1804

Operation of the DS1804 is simple, but a couple of nuances need to be understood for reliable operation. First, the device powers up over the course of 50ms. Attempts to signal information to the part before that period of time elapses will not be successful. The part also requires 500µs to adjust the value of the wiper to the value stored in the non-volatile register during power-up.

After power-up, there are two ways to increment or decrement the part. The first method only changes the value of the potentiometer wiper position. The second changes both the value of the wiper and writes the current value to the non-volatile register.

Changing the wiper position without writing to the non-volatile register is accomplished by the following:

Adjust the up/down select input to high for increment or low for decrement.
Enable the chip by asserting the CS signal (active low).
Pulse INC low n-1 times to in/decrement the part n times.
Assert INC low again (the part in/decrements one more time on the falling edge of INC).
Disable the chip by de-asserting CS.
De-assert INC to complete the write.

To change the value of the wiper and write the final wiper position to the nonvolatile register, complete the following sequence:

Adjust the up/down select input to high for increment or low for decrement.
Enable the chip by asserting the CS signal (active low).
Pulse the increment signal low n times to in/decrement the part n positions.
Disable the chip by de-asserting CS.
Wait 10ms for present wiper position to be written to NV register.

Another simple, useful routine stores the current value of the wiper position into the NV register. Pulsing CS low while increment remains high stores the current value of the wiper into the NV register. After CS is de-asserted, the controller should wait for 10ms to elapse for the NV register to be written with the present wiper position.

8051 Software for Controlling a DS1804

There are millions of different routines that could be used for adjusting the wiper position and writing to the NV register of a DS1804; however, the easiest method requires only four routines. These routines initialize the DS1804, increment the chip one wiper position, decrement the chip one wiper position, and write the current wiper position to the NV register. These routines are provided in Appendix A, and are called Init1804, Increment1804, Decrement1804, and WriteNVreg. The Increment1804 and Decrement1804 routines can be placed in a loop to in/decrement the DS1804 n times, and once the desired wiper location is reached it can be written to the NV register by calling the WriteNVreg routine. If it is desirable to in/decrement the DS1804 n times without writing the loop in the main program, a short routine could be written that receives n from the stack or the accumulator and implements the loop's function.

The downfall of using only four functions occurs when the overhead of selecting Up/Down and CS during each adjustment slows operation down too much for the application at hand. Thus, two additional functions are included that demonstrate in/decrementing the chip (five intervals each way) with a single selection both the direction and chip select inputs. These routines are called Increment1804x5 and Decrement1804x5.

In addition to the routines described above, three other routines reside in the software to generate timing. They are called wait16us, wt and wait3sec. These function provide a fixed 1.6µs delay, a variable delay that is selected by the values stored in R5, R6, and R7, and a fixed 3-second delay that is used in the main program.

Main Program Sequence

Disables all interrupts.
Toggles LED on P1.0 to signify beginning of execution.
Initializes the DS1804 by setting all three DS1804 inputs high and waiting 50ms.
Waits 3 seconds, toggles LED. The 3-second delay allows the power up value of the DS1804 to be read with a multi-meter, and the LED indicates when changes are occurring.
Increments the DS1804 in 5 interval bursts, a total of 25 positions. A 3-second pause has been added between each of the 5-interval bursts to allow a multi-meter to monitor the changes. The LED will toggle as the changes to the wiper occur.
Waits 3 seconds, toggles the LED, and decrements the DS1804 5 intervals.
Writes the NV register to the current value.
Waits 3 seconds, toggles the LED, and increments the DS1804 1 interval.
Waits 3 seconds, toggles the LED, and decrements the DS1804 1 interval.
Completes execution with an infinite loop.

Main Program Output

Assume that you are executing the program with V_CC at 5V with a 22 MHz crystal; a multi-meter is connected between W and Gnd; and cycling V_CC from Gnd to 5V starts the program. The output of the DS1804 will be as follows.

When power is turned on, the part will boot up to the value last stored in the NV register. If the value of the NV register was previously written, then it will display that value; otherwise it will display the pseudo-random value stored in the NV register by the factory before shipping. The wiper output will display the voltage on the multi-meter that corresponds to the value stored in the NV register for 3 seconds. The output will then be incremented in 0.25V steps and hold each value for 3 seconds before moving on to the next position. This will occur five times for a total voltage change of 1.25V. The wiper voltage will then be lowered 0.25V, and that value will be held for 3 seconds. This value will be stored in the NV register and will be the value that the part boots up to the next time power is cycled. Finally, the wiper voltage will be incremented 0.05V and then decremented 0.05V, with both values being held for 3 seconds. The LED attached to P1.0 will be toggled every 3 seconds directly before every change occurs.

In the event that the chip powers up with a wiper value equal to or greater than 3.76V, the program will attempt to increment the chip past 5V. This does not damage the part, but the output will remain at 5V until a decrement command is issued. Thus the end voltage in this case would be 4.75V.
