7.3.1.1.2 Internal Reference

The TPL1401 also contains an internal reference that is disabled by default. Enable the internal reference by writing 1 to REF_EN (address D1h). The internal reference generates a fixed 1.21-V voltage (typical). Using the OUT_SPAN (address D1h) bits, a gain of 1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x can be achieved for the digipot output voltage (VOUT) Equation 2 shows digipot transfer function when the internal reference is used.

Equation 2.

where:

  • DPOT_POS is the decimal equivalent of the binary code that is loaded to the digipot register
  • DPOT_POS ranges from 0 to 255.
  • VREF is the internal reference voltage = 1.21 V.
  • GAIN = 1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x based on OUT_SPAN (address D1h) bits.
