GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5245 provides a compact 2.9 mm × 3 mm packaged
solution for 256-position adjustment applications. These
devices perform the same electronic adjustment function as
mechanical potentiometers or variable resistors, with enhanced
resolution, solid-state reliability, and superior low temperature
coefficient performance.
Operating from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V power supply and consuming
less than 8 µA allows usage in portable battery-operated
applications.
Note that the terms digital potentiometer, VR, and RDAC are
used interchangeably.
The wiper settings are controllable through an I2C-compatible
digital interface, which can also be used to read back the wiper
register content. AD0 can be used to place up to two devices on
the same bus. Command bits are available to reset the wiper
position to midscale or to shut down the device into a state of
zero power consumption.

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.
1
Maximum terminal current is bound by the maximum current handling of
the switches, maximum power dissipation of the package, and maximum
applied voltage across any two of the A, B, and W terminals at a given
resistance.
2
Package power dissipation = (TJMAX – TA)/θJA.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

AD5245
THEORY OF OPERATION
The general equation determining the digitally programmed
output resistance between W and B is
The AD5245 is a 256-position digitally controlled variable
resistor (VR) device.
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
Rheostat Operation
The nominal resistance of the RDAC between Terminals A and
B is available in 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, plus the B terminal contact. The 8-bit data
in the RDAC latch is decoded to select one of the 256 possible
settings.
03436-034

Figure 35. Rheostat Mode Configuration
Assuming that a 10 kΩ part is used, the wiper’s first connection
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 Terminals W and 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).

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 can occur.
Similar to the mechanical potentiometer, the resistance of the
RDAC between the 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
RWA (D) =

Typical device-to-device matching is process lot dependent and

PROGRAMMING THE POTENTIOMETER DIVIDER
TERMINAL VOLTAGE OPERATING RANGE
Voltage Output Operation
The AD5245 VDD and GND power supply defines the boundary
conditions for proper 3-terminal digital potentiometer
operation. Supply signals present on Terminals A, B, and W that
exceed VDD or GND are clamped by the internal forward-biased
diodes (see Figure 40).
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.

POWER-UP SEQUENCE
If ignoring the effect of the wiper resistance for approximation,
then 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 Terminal A and B 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 Terminals A and B is

Operation of the digital potentiometer in the divider mode
results in a more accurate operation over temperature. Unlike
the rheostat mode, the output voltage is dependent mainly on
the ratio of the internal resistors, RWA and RWB, not the absolute
values. Therefore, the temperature drift reduces to 15 ppm/°C.
ESD PROTECTION
All digital inputs are protected with a series of input resistors and
parallel Zener ESD structures, shown in Figure 38 and Figure 39.
This applies to the digital input pins SDA, SCL, and AD0.
GND
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.
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 disk 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 41). Note that the digital ground should also be
joined remotely to the analog ground at one point to minimize
the ground bounce.

LOGIC
03436-037

Because the ESD protection diodes limit the voltage compliance
at Terminals A, B, and W (see Figure 40), it is important to
power VDD and GND before applying any voltage to Terminals
A, B, and W; otherwise, the diode is forward biased such that
VDD is powered unintentionally and can 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, and VW. The
relative order of powering VA, VB, VW, and the digital inputs is
not important as long as they are powered after VDD and GND.

AD5245
CONSTANT BIAS TO RETAIN RESISTANCE SETTING
For users who desire nonvolatility but cannot justify the
additional cost for the EEMEM, the AD5245 can be considered
a low cost alternative by maintaining a constant bias to retain
the wiper setting. The AD5245 is designed specifically with low
power in mind, which allows low power consumption even in
battery-operated systems. Figure 42 demonstrates the power
consumption from a 3.4 V, 450 mA-hr Li-Ion cell phone battery
that is connected to the AD5245. 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.
110%
Although the resistance setting of the AD5245 is lost when the
battery needs replacement, such events occur rather infrequently
so that this inconvenience is justified by the lower cost and
smaller size offered by the AD5245. If total power is lost, then
the user should be provided with a means to adjust the setting
accordingly.
EVALUATION BOARD
An evaluation board, along with all necessary software, is
available to program the AD5245 from any PC running
Windows® 98/2000/XP. The graphical user interface, as shown
in Figure 43, is straightforward and easy to use. More detailed
information is available in the user manual, which is provided
with the board.

This demonstrates that constantly biasing the potentiometer
can be a practical approach. Most portable devices do not
require the removal of batteries for charging.
The AD5245 starts at midscale upon power-up. To increment or
decrement the resistance, the user can simply move the scrollbars on the left. To write a specific value, the user should use the
bit pattern in the upper screen and click the Run button. The
format of writing data to the device is shown in Table 8. To read
the data from the device, the user can simply click the Read
button. The format of the read bits is shown in Table 9.

AD5245
I2C INTERFACE
I2C-COMPATIBLE 2-WIRE SERIAL BUS
The 2-wire I2C serial bus protocol operates as follows:
1. The master initiates data transfer by establishing a START
condition, which is when a high-to-low transition on the SDA
line occurs while SCL is high (see Figure 45). The next byte
is the slave address byte, which consists of the 7-bit slave
address followed by an R/W bit (this bit determines whether
data is read from or written to the slave device). The AD5245
has one configurable address bit, AD0 (see Table 8).
The slave whose address corresponds to the transmitted
address responds by pulling the SDA line low during the
ninth clock pulse (this is termed the acknowledge bit). At
this stage, all other devices on the bus remain idle while the
selected device waits for data to be written to or read from
its serial register. If the R/W bit is high, the master reads
from the slave device. On the other hand, if the R/W bit is
low, the master writes to the slave device.
2. In write mode, the second byte is the instruction byte.
The first bit (MSB) of the instruction byte is a don’t care.
The second MSB, RS, is the midscale reset. A logic high on
this bit moves the wiper to the center tap, where RWA = RWB.
This feature effectively overwrites the contents of the
register; therefore, when taken out of reset mode, the RDAC
remains at midscale.
The third MSB, SD, is a shutdown bit. A logic high causes an
open circuit at Terminal A while shorting the wiper to
Terminal B. This operation yields almost 0 Ω in rheostat mode
or 0 V in potentiometer mode. It is important to note that
the shutdown operation does not disturb the contents of the
register. When brought out of shutdown, the previous setting is
applied to the RDAC. Also during shutdown, new settings can
be programmed. When the part is returned from shutdown,
the corresponding VR setting is applied to the RDAC.
3. After acknowledging the instruction byte, the last byte in
write mode is the data byte. Data is transmitted over the
serial bus in sequences of nine clock pulses (eight data bits
followed by an acknowledge bit). The transitions on the
SDA line must occur during the low period of SCL and
remain stable during the high period of SCL (see Figure 45).
4. In read mode, the data byte follows immediately after the
acknowledgment of the slave address byte. Data is
transmitted over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock
pulses (a slight difference with write mode, in which eight
data bits are followed by an acknowledge bit). Similarly, the
transitions on the SDA line must occur during the low
period of SCL and remain stable during the high period of
SCL (see Figure 46).
5. After all data bits have been read or written, a STOP
condition is established by the master. A STOP condition is
defined as a low-to-high transition on the SDA line while
SCL is high. In write mode, the master pulls the SDA line
high during the 10th clock pulse to establish a STOP
condition (see Figure 45). In read mode, the master issues a
no acknowledge for the ninth clock pulse (that is, the SDA
line remains high). The master then brings the SDA line low
before the 10th clock pulse, which goes high to establish a
STOP condition (see Figure 46).
A repeated write function gives the user flexibility to update
the RDAC output a number of times after addressing and
instructing the part only once. For example, after the RDAC
has acknowledged its slave address and instruction bytes in
the write mode, the RDAC output updates on each successive
byte. If different instructions are needed, then the write/read
mode has to start again with a new slave address, instruction,
and data byte. Similarly, a repeated read function of the
RDAC is also allowed.
The remainder of the bits in the instruction byte are don’t
cares (see Table 8).

Each has a different slave address because the states of their
AD0 pins are different. This allows the RDAC within each
