GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5162 provides a compact 3 mm × 4.9 mm packaged
solution for dual, 256-position adjustment applications. This
device performs the same electronic adjustment function as a
3-terminal mechanical potentiometer. Available in four end-toend resistance values (2.5 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, 100 kΩ), this low
temperature coefficient device is ideal for high accuracy and
stability-variable resistance adjustments. The wiper settings are
controllable through an SPI digital interface. The resistance
between the wiper and either endpoint of the fixed resistor
varies linearly with respect to the digital code transferred into
the RDAC latch.1
Operating from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V power supply and consuming
less than 6 µA allows the AD5162 to be used in portable batteryoperated applications.
For applications that program the AD5162 at the factory,
Analog Devices offers device programming software running
on Windows® NT/2000/XP operating systems. This software
effectively replaces the need for external SPI controllers, which
in turn enhances the time to market of systems. An AD5162
evaluation kit and software are available. The kit includes a
cable and instruction manual.

The terms digital potentiometer, VR, and RDAC are used interchangeably.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
ESD CAUTION
1
The maximum terminal current is bound by the maximum current handling
of the switches, the maximum power dissipation of the package, and the
maximum applied voltage across any two of the A, B, and W terminals at a
given resistance.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5162 is a 256-position, digitally controlled variable
resistor (VR) device.
The general equation determining the digitally programmed
output resistance between W and B is
An internal power-on preset places the wiper at midscale
during power-on, which simplifies the fault condition recovery
at power-up.
PROGRAMMING THE VARIABLE RESISTOR AND
VOLTAGE
Rheostat Operation
The nominal resistance of the RDAC between Terminal A and
Terminal B is available in 2.5 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, and 100 kΩ.
The nominal resistance (RAB) of the VR has 256 contact points
accessed by the wiper terminal and the B terminal contact. The
8-bit data in the RDAC latch is decoded to select one of the
256 possible settings.

Figure 33. Rheostat Mode Configuration
Assuming that a 10 kΩ part is used, the first connection of the
wiper starts at the B terminal for Data 0x00. Because there is
a 50 Ω wiper contact resistance, such a connection yields a
minimum of 100 Ω (2 × 50 Ω) resistance between Terminal W
and Terminal B. The second connection is the first tap point,
which corresponds to 139 Ω (RWB = RAB/256 + 2 × RW = 39 Ω +
2 × 50 Ω) for Data 0x01. The third connection is the next tap
point, representing 178 Ω (2 × 39 Ω + 2 × 50 Ω) for Data 0x02,
and so on. Each LSB data value increase moves the wiper up the
resistor ladder until the last tap point is reached at 10,100 Ω
(RAB + 2 × RW).

In summary, if RAB is 10 kΩ and the A terminal is open
circuited, the output resistance, RWB, is set according to the
RDAC latch codes, as listed in Table 6.

Zero scale (wiper contact resistance)
Note that in the zero-scale condition, a finite wiper resistance of
100 Ω is present. Care should be taken to limit the current flow
between W and B in this state to a maximum pulse current of
no more than 20 mA. Otherwise, degradation or possible
destruction of the internal switch contact may occur.
Similar to the mechanical potentiometer, the resistance of the
RDAC between Wiper W and Terminal A also produces a
digitally controlled complementary resistance, RWA. When these
terminals are used, the B terminal can be opened. Setting the
resistance value for RWA starts at a maximum value of resistance
and decreases as the data loaded in the latch increases in value.
The general equation for this operation is

Typical device-to-device matching is process-lot dependent and
may vary by up to ±30%. Because the resistance element is

ESD PROTECTION
Voltage Output Operation
All digital inputs are protected with a series of input resistors
and parallel Zener ESD structures, as shown in Figure 36 and
Figure 37. This applies to the SDI, CLK, and CS digital input pins.

If ignoring the effect of the wiper resistance for approximation,
connecting the A terminal to 5 V and the B terminal to ground
produces an output voltage at the wiper to B, starting at 0 V up
to 1 LSB less than 5 V. Each LSB of voltage is equal to the voltage
applied across the A and B terminals divided by the 256 positions
of the potentiometer divider. The general equation defining the
output voltage at VW with respect to ground for any valid input
voltage applied to Terminal A and Terminal B is

TERMINAL VOLTAGE OPERATING RANGE
The AD5162 VDD and GND power supply defines the boundary
conditions for proper 3-terminal digital potentiometer operation. Supply signals present on the A, B, and W terminals that
exceed VDD or GND are clamped by the internal forward-biased
diodes (see Figure 38).

Operation of the digital potentiometer in the divider mode
results in more accurate operation over temperature. Unlike in
the rheostat mode, the output voltage is dependent mainly on
the ratio of the internal resistors RWA and RWB, not on the absolute
values. Therefore, the temperature drift reduces to 15 ppm/°C.

The digital potentiometer easily generates a voltage divider at
wiper to B and wiper to A, proportional to the input voltage at
A to B. Unlike the polarity of VDD to GND, which must be
positive, voltage across A to B, W to A, and W to B can be at
either polarity.
Figure 38. Maximum Terminal Voltages Set by VDD and GND
POWER-UP SEQUENCE
Because the ESD protection diodes limit the voltage compliance
at the A, B, and W terminals (see Figure 38), it is important to
power VDD/GND before applying voltage to the A, B, and W
terminals; otherwise, the diode is forward-biased such that VDD
is powered unintentionally and may affect the rest of the user’s
circuit. The ideal power-up sequence is in the following order:
GND, VDD, digital inputs, and then VA, VB, VW. The relative
order of powering VA, VB, VW, and the digital inputs is not
important, as long as they are powered after VDD/GND.

Similarly, it is also good practice to bypass the power supplies with
quality capacitors for optimum stability. Supply leads to the device
should be bypassed with disc or chip ceramic capacitors of 0.01 μF
to 0.1 μF. Low ESR 1 μF to 10 μF tantalum or electrolytic capacitors
should also be applied at the supplies to minimize any transient
disturbance and low frequency ripple (see Figure 39). In addition,
note that the digital ground should be joined remotely to the
analog ground at one point to minimize the ground bounce.

BATTERY LIFE DEPLETED (%)
It is good practice to employ compact, minimum lead length
layout design. The leads to the inputs should be as direct as
possible with a minimum conductor length. Ground paths
should have low resistance and low inductance.

An evaluation board, along with all necessary software, is
available to program the AD5162 from any PC running
Windows® 98/2000/XP. The graphical user interface, as shown
in Figure 41, is straightforward and easy to use. More detailed
information is available in the user manual, which is supplied
with the board.

Figure 39. Power Supply Bypassing
For users who desire nonvolatility but cannot justify the additional
cost of the EEMEM, the AD5162 can be considered a low cost
alternative by maintaining a constant bias to retain the wiper
setting. The AD5162 is designed specifically for low power
applications, allowing low power consumption even in batteryoperated systems. The graph in Figure 40 demonstrates the
power consumption from a 3.4 V, 450 mAhr Li-Ion cell phone
battery connected to the AD5162. The measurement over time
shows that the device draws approximately 1.3 μA and consumes
negligible power. Over a course of 30 days, the battery is depleted
by less than 2%, the majority of which is due to the intrinsic
leakage current of the battery itself.
This demonstrates that constantly biasing the potentiometer can be
a practical approach. Most portable devices do not require the
removal of batteries for the purpose of charging. Although the
resistance setting of the AD5162 is lost when the battery needs
replacement, such events occur rather infrequently such that
this inconvenience is justified by the lower cost and smaller size
offered by the AD5162. If total power is lost, the user should be
provided with a means to adjust the setting accordingly.

The AD5162 starts at midscale upon power-up. To increment or
decrement the resistance, simply move the scrollbars in the left of
the software window (see Figure 41). To write a specific value,
use the bit pattern in the upper part of the SDI Write Bit Control
(Hit Run) box and then click Run. The format of writing data
to the device is shown in Table 8.

The AD5162 contains a 3-wire, SPI-compatible digital interface

first. The format of the word is shown in Table 8.

The positive-edge sensitive CLK input requires clean transitions
to avoid clocking incorrect data into the serial input register.
Standard logic families work well. If mechanical switches are
used for product evaluation, they should be debounced by a
flip-flop or another suitable means. When CS is low, the clock
loads data into the serial register on each positive clock edge
(see Figure 42).
