Product details
Overview
DS1050P-5/T&R from Maxim Integrated is a 5-bit programmable pulse-width modulator IC with 5kHz nominal output frequency, 2.7V–5.5V supply range, and 2-wire serial interface. It delivers adjustable PWM duty cycle (0% to 100% in 3.125% steps), operates from –40°C to +85°C, and targets LCD contrast control, power supply voltage adjustment, and battery charging current regulation.
For engineers reviewing the DS1050P-5/T&R datasheet, DS1050P-5/T&R pinout, DS1050P-5/T&R application, or DS1050P-5/T&R equivalent, this device supports I²C-compatible 2-wire bus communication at 100kHz/400kHz, offers shutdown mode (<1µA standby current), and provides full-on (100%) and standard 5-bit (0–96.88%) duty cycle control via addressable slave interface.
Technical Context
The DS1050P-5/T&R implements a fixed-frequency oscillator core generating 5kHz PWM output, with duty cycle controlled by an internal 5-bit register accessed via 2-wire serial protocol. Its slave-mode interface uses A0–A2 for hardware address selection and supports both Standard (100kHz) and Fast (400kHz) I²C modes.
It features dedicated shutdown and recall commands that place PWMO into high-impedance state (<1µA ICC) or restore prior duty cycle. Output swings rail-to-rail (0V to VCC), with absolute linearity ±0.5 LSB and relative linearity ±0.25 LSB across the full 5-bit range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable PWM generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1050U-005 | Identical electrical specs and pinout; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (no /T&R suffix) | No functional difference; suitable for same PCB layouts and firmware | Select DS1050U-005 when standard reel packaging is preferred over DS1050P-5/T&R's specific tape-and-reel format |
| MAX14827 | Higher integration: includes 4-channel PWM, 12-bit DAC, and SPI interface; 5V-only supply; larger 20-pin TQFN | Targets multi-output systems requiring synchronized PWM channels and analog outputs | Choose MAX14827 only when needing multiple independent PWM outputs or SPI interface compatibility |
Compared with DS1050U-005, DS1050P-5/T&R offers identical functionality in tape-and-reel form for automated assembly; versus MAX14827, it provides lower-cost, single-channel simplicity with smaller footprint and I²C compatibility-ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs requiring only one PWM output.

FAQ
What is the nominal output frequency of the DS1050P-5/T&R?
The DS1050P-5/T&R is factory-configured for a nominal 5kHz PWM output frequency. This value is fixed per variant and cannot be reprogrammed; other frequencies (1kHz, 10kHz, 25kHz) require different part numbers such as DS1050P-1/T&R or DS1050P-10/T&R. Frequency tolerance is ±20% over operating temperature and supply voltage ranges.
Does the DS1050P-5/T&R support full 0% to 100% duty cycle control?
Yes, the DS1050P-5/T&R supports 0% to 100% duty cycle. The standard 5-bit register provides 0% to 96.88% in 3.125% increments, and a dedicated "Set PWM Duty Cycle 100%" command enables true full-on output. This eliminates interpolation or software workarounds needed to achieve maximum output level.
How many DS1050P-5/T&R devices can share the same I²C bus?
Up to eight DS1050P-5/T&R devices can operate on a single 2-wire I²C bus. Each unit is assigned a unique 3-bit slave address via hardware pins A0, A1, and A2, which must be hardwired to VCC or GND. No external address decoding logic is required, enabling scalable multi-channel PWM control from one microcontroller.
What is the shutdown current consumption of the DS1050P-5/T&R?
The DS1050P-5/T&R draws ≤1µA in shutdown mode, verified at VCC = 3.0V to 5.0V with control pins driven to valid logic levels. In this state, the PWMO output enters high-impedance, eliminating load current while preserving no-voltage stress on downstream circuitry. Shutdown is activated via I²C command and recalled without reset.
Is the DS1050P-5/T&R pin-compatible with other DS1050 variants?
Yes, DS1050P-5/T&R shares identical 8-pin (118-mil) SOP pinout and electrical behavior with all DS1050U- and DS1050Z-series variants-including DS1050U-005 and DS1050Z-005. Differences are limited to packaging (SOP vs SOIC) and ordering suffixes (/T&R vs bulk); no PCB layout change is needed when substituting within the same frequency and package family.
