6.1.1
When used as a rheostat, two of the three digital
potentiometer’s terminals are used as a resistive
element in the circuit. With terminal W (wiper) and
either terminal A or terminal B, a variable resistor is
created. The resistance will depend on the tap setting
of the wiper and the wiper’s resistance. The resistance
is controlled by changing the wiper setting.
The unused terminal (B or A) should be left floating.

will not affect operation.

This allows the control of the total resistance between

When used as a potentiometer, all three terminals are
tied to different nodes in the circuit. This allows the
potentiometer to output a voltage proportional to the
input voltage. This configuration is sometimes called
voltage divider mode. The potentiometer is used to
provide a variable voltage by adjusting the wiper
position between the two endpoints as shown in
