GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5235 provides a dual channel, digitally controlled variable
resistor (VR) with resolutions of 1024 positions. These devices
perform the same electronic adjustment function as a potentiometer or
variable resistor. The AD5235’s versatile programming via a Micro
Controller allows multiple modes of operation and adjustment.
In the direct program mode a predetermined setting of the RDAC
register can be loaded directly from the micro controller. Another key
mode of operation allows the RDAC register to be refreshed with the
setting previously stored in the EEMEM register. When changes are
made to the RDAC register to establish a new wiper position, the
value of the setting can be saved into the EEMEM by executing an
EEMEM save operation. Once the settings are saved in the EEMEM
register, these values will be transferred automatically to the RDAC
register to set the wiper position at system power ON. Such operation
is enabled by the internal preset strobe and the preset can also be
accessed externally.
An internal scratch pad RDAC register can be programmed by the
micro controller to set the resistance between terminals W-and-B.
Once the target value is achieved, the RDAC content register can be
placed in the non-volatile memory for automatic recall during Power
Up.
The AD5235 is available in the thin TSSOP-16 package. All parts are
guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial temperature range
of -40°C to +85°C.

Typicals represent average readings at +25°C and VDD = +5V.
Resistor position nonlinearity error R-INL is the deviation from an ideal value measured between the maximum resistance and the minimum resistance wiper positions. R-DNL measures the relative step
change from ideal between successive tap positions. Parts are guaranteed monotonic. See figure 20 test circuit. IW = VDD/R for both VDD=+3V or VDD=+5V.
INL and DNL are measured at VW with the RDAC configured as a potentiometer divider similar to a voltage output D/A converter. VA = VDD and VB = 0V.
DNL specification limits of ±1LSB maximum are Guaranteed Monotonic operating conditions. See Figure 19 test circuit.
Resistor terminals A,B,W have no limitations on polarity with respect to each other.
Guaranteed by design and not subject to production test.
PDISS is calculated from (IDD x VDD=+5V).
All dynamic characteristics use VDD = +5V.
See timing diagram for location of measured values. All input control voltages are specified with tR=tF=2.5ns(10% to 90% of 3V) and timed from a voltage level of 1.5V. Switching characteristics are
measured using both VDD = +3V or +5V.
Propagation delay depends on value of VDD, RPULL_UP, and CL see applications text.

PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA
AD5235
Nonvolatile Memory Digital Potentiometers
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
•
The AD5235 digital potentiometer is designed to operate as a true
variable resistor replacement device for analog signals that remain
within the terminal voltage range of VSS<VTERM<VDD. The basic
voltage range is limited to a VDD - VSS<5.5V. Control of the digital
potentiometer allows both scratch pad register (RDAC register)
changes to be made, as well as 100,000 times of nonvolatile
electrically erasable memory (EEMEM) register operations. The
EEMEM update process takes approximately 20.2ms, during this
time the shift register is locked preventing any changes from taking
place. The RDY pin flags the completion of this EEMEM save.
The EEMEM retention is designed to last 10 years without refresh.
The scratch pad register can be changed incrementally by using the
software controlled Increment/Decrement instruction or the Shift
Left/Right instruction command. Once an Increment, Decrement or
Shift command has been loaded into the shift register, subsequent
CS strobes will repeat this command. This is useful for push button
control applications. Alternately the scratch pad register can be
programmed with any position value using the standard SPI serial
interface mode by loading the representative data word. The
scratch pad register can be loaded with the current contents of the
nonvolatile EEMEM register under the program control. At system
power ON, the default value of the scratch pad memory is the value
previously saved in the EEMEM register. The factory EEMEM
preset value is midscale 51210.
•
A serial data output pin is available for daisy chaining and for
readout of the internal register contents. The serial input data
register uses a 24-bit instruction/address/data WORD. The writeprotect (WP) pin provides a hardware EEMEM protection feature
disabling any changes of the present EEMEM contents.
SERIAL DATA INTERFACE
The AD5235 contains a four-wire SPI compatible digital interface
(SDI, SDO, CS, and CLK). Key features of this interface include:
•
•
Permanent storage of the present scratch pad RDAC register
values into the corresponding EEMEM register
30 bytes of user addressable electrical-erasable memory
The serial interface of AD5235 digital potentiometer uses a 24-bit
serial word loaded with MSB first. The format of the SPI
compatible word is shown in Table 1. The Command Bits (Cx)
control the operation of the digital potentiometer according to the
command instruction shown in Table 2. The Address Bits (Ax)
determine which register is activated. The Data Bits (Dx) are the
values that are loaded into the decoded register. The last
instruction executed prior to a period of no programming activity
should be the NOP instruction. This will place the internal logic
circuitry in a minimum power dissipation state.

PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA
AD5235
Nonvolatile Memory Digital Potentiometers
Detail Potentiometer Operation
The actual structure of the RDAC is designed to emulate the
performance of a mechanical potentiometer. The RDAC contains a
string of connected resistor segments, with an array of analog
switches that act as the wiper connection to several points along the
resistor array. The number of points is the resolution of the device.
The AD5235 has 1024 connection points allowing it to provide
better than 0.5% set-ability resolution. Figure 3 provides an
equivalent diagram of the connections between the three terminals
that make up one channel of the RDAC. The SWA and SWB will
always be ON while one of the switches SW(0) to SW(2N-1) will
be ON one at a time depends upon the resistance step decoded from
the Data Bits. Note that there are two 50Ω wiper resistances, RW.
The resistance contributed by RW must be accounted for when
calculating the output resistance. RW is the sum of the resistances of
SWA + SWX and SWB + SWX for A-to-Wiper and B-to-Wiper
respectively.
SW A
AX
ladder until the last tap point is reached at RWB=25025Ω. See figure
3 for a simplified diagram of the equivalent RDAC circuit.
The general equation, which determines the digitally programmed
output resistance between Wx and Bx, is:
RWB(Dx) = (Dx/2N) * RAB + RW
eqn. 1
Where N is the resolution of the VR, Dx is the data contained in
the RDACx latch, and RAB is the nominal end-to-end resistance.
Since N=10 and RW=50Ω for AD5235, eqn. 1 becomes:
RWB(Dx) = (Dx/1024) * RAB + 50Ω
eqn. 2
For example, when VB = 0V and A–terminal is open circuit the
following output resistance values will be set for the following
RDAC latch codes (applies to RAB=25KΩ potentiometers):

PROGRAMMING THE VARIABLE RESISTOR
Rheostat Operation
The nominal resistance of the RDAC between terminals A and B
are available with values of 25KΩ, and 250KΩ. The final digits of
the part number determine the nominal resistance value, e.g., 25KΩ
= 25; 250KΩ = 250. The nominal resistance (RAB) of the AD5235
VR has 1024 contact points accessed by the wiper terminal, plus
the B terminal contact. The 10-bit data word in the RDAC latch is
decoded to select one of the 1024 possible settings. The wiper's
first connection starts at the B terminal for data 00H. This B–
terminal connection has a wiper contact resistance, RW of 50Ω,
regardless of what the nominal resistance RAB is. The second
connection (25KΩ part) is the first tap point where RWB =74Ω [RWB
=RAB/1024 + RW = 24Ω+50Ω)] for data 01H. The third connection
is the next tap point representing RWB =49+50=99Ω for data 02H.
Each LSB data value increase moves the wiper up the resistor
Figure 4. Symmetrical RDAC Operation
Like the mechanical potentiometer the RDAC replaces, the
AD5235 part is totally symmetrical. The resistance between the
wiper W and terminal A also produces a digitally controlled
resistance RWA. Figure 4 shows the symmetrical programmability
of the various terminal connections. When these terminals are used,
the B–terminal should be tied to the wiper. Setting the resistance
value for RWA starts at a maximum value of resistance and
decreases as the data loaded in the latch is increased in value. The
general equation for this operation is:

Similarly, eqn. 3 becomes:
RWA(Dx) = [ (1024-Dx)/1024 ] * RAB + 50Ω
For example, when VA = 0V and B–terminal is tied to the wiper W

A ±1% typical distribution of RAB from channel-to-channel occurs
within the same package. On the other hand, device to device
matching is process lot dependent such that a maximum of ±30%
variation is possible. The change in RAB with temperature has a 50
ppm/°C temperature coefficient.
PROGRAMMING THE POTENTIOMETER DIVIDER
Voltage Output Operation
The digital potentiometer easily generates an output voltage
proportional to the input voltage applied to a given terminal. For
example connecting A–terminal to +5V and B–terminal to ground
produces an output voltage at the wiper which can be any value
starting at zero volts and up to 1 LSB less than +5V. Each LSB of
voltage is equal to the voltage applied across terminal AB divided
by the 2N resolution of the potentiometer divider. The general
equation defining the output voltage with respect to ground for any
given input voltage applied to terminals AB is:

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