GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5291/AD5292, members of the Analog Devices, Inc.,
DigiPOT+ family of potentiometers, are single-channel, 256-/
1024-position digital potentiometers1 that combine industry
leading variable resistor performance with nonvolatile memory
(NVM) in a compact package. These devices are capable of
operating across a wide voltage range; supporting both dual
supply operation at ±10.5 V to ±16.5 V and single supply
operation at +21 V to +33 V, while ensuring less than 1% endto-end resistor tolerance (R-tolerance) error and offering
20-time programmable (20-TP) memory.
The guaranteed industry-leading low resistor tolerance error
feature simplifies open-loop applications as well as precision
calibration and tolerance matching applications.
1
The AD5291/AD5292 device wiper settings are controllable
through the SPI digital interface. Unlimited adjustments are
allowed before programming the resistance value into the
|20-TP memory. The AD5291/AD5292 do not require any
external voltage supply to facilitate fuse blow and there are
20 opportunities for permanent programming. During 20-TP
activation, a permanent blow fuse command freezes the wiper
position (analogous to placing epoxy on a mechanical trimmer).
The AD5291/AD5292 are available in a compact 14-lead TSSOP
package. The part is guaranteed to operate over the extended
industrial temperature range of −40°C to +105°C.
The terms digital potentiometer and RDAC are used interchangeably.

Resistor position nonlinearity error. R-INL is the deviation from an ideal value measured between the RWB at Code 0x02 and the RWB at Code 0xFF or between RWA at
Code 0xFD and RWA at Code 0x00. R-DNL measures the relative step change from ideal between successive tap positions. The specification is guaranteed in resistor
performance mode, with a wiper current of 1 mA for VA < 12 V and 1.2 mA for VA ≥ 12 V.

Description
Hardware Reset Pin. Refreshes the RDAC register with the contents of the 20-TP memory register. Factory
default loads midscale until the first 20-TP wiper memory location is programmed. RESET is activated at the
logic high transition. Tie RESET to VLOGIC if not used.
Negative Supply. Connect to 0 V for single-supply applications. This pin should be decoupled with 0.1 μF
ceramic capacitors and 10 μF capacitors.
Terminal A of RDAC. VSS ≤ VA ≤ VDD.
Wiper Terminal of RDAC. VSS ≤ VW ≤ VDD.
Terminal B of RDAC. VSS ≤ VB ≤ VDD.
Positive Power Supply. This pin should be decoupled with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors and 10 μF capacitors.
External Capacitor. Connect a 1 μF capacitor to EXT_CAP. This capacitor must have a voltage rating of ≥7 V.
Logic Power Supply; 2.7 V to 5.5 V. This pin should be decoupled with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors and 10 μF
capacitors.
Ground Pin, Logic Ground Reference.
Serial Data Input. The AD5291/AD5292 have a 16-bit shift register. Data is clocked into the register on the falling
edge of the serial clock input.
Serial Clock Input. Data is clocked into the shift register on the falling edge of the serial clock input. Data can be
transferred at rates up to 50 MHz.
Falling Edge Synchronization Signal. This is the frame synchronization signal for the input data. When SYNC
goes low, it enables the shift register and data is transferred in on the falling edges of the following clocks. The
selected register is updated on the rising edge of SYNC following the 16th clock cycle. If SYNC is taken high
before the 16th clock cycle, the rising edge of SYNC acts as an interrupt, and the write sequence is ignored by
the DAC.
Serial Data Output. This open-drain output requires an external pull-up resistor. SDO can be used to clock data
from the shift register in daisy-chain mode or in readback mode.
Ready Pin. This active-high open-drain output identifies the completion of a write or read operation to or from
the RDAC register or memory.

THEORY OF OPERATION
AD5291, the lower two RDAC data bits are don’t cares if the
RDAC register is read from or written to. Data is loaded MSB first
(Bit DB15). The four control bits determine the function of the
software command (see Table 9). Figure 3 shows a timing
diagram of a typical AD5291/AD5292 write sequence.
The AD5291/AD5292 , members of the Analog Devices, Inc.,
DigiPOT+ family of potentiometers are designed to operate as
true variable resistors for analog signals that remain within the
terminal voltage range of VSS < VTERM < VDD. The patented ±1%
resistor tolerance feature helps to minimize the total RDAC resistance error, which reduces the overall system error by offering
better absolute matching and improved open-loop performance.
The digital potentiometer wiper position is determined by the
RDAC register contents. The RDAC register acts as a scratchpad
register, allowing as many value changes as necessary to place
the potentiometer wiper in the correct position. The RDAC
register can be programmed with any position setting using the
standard SPI interface by loading the 16-bit data-word. Once a
desirable position is found, this value can be stored in a 20-TP
memory register. Thereafter, the wiper position is always restored
to that position for subsequent power-up. The storing of 20-TP
data takes approximately 6 ms; during this time, the shift register
is locked, preventing any changes from taking place. The RDY pin
identifies the completion of this 20-TP storage.
The write sequence begins by bringing the SYNC line low. The
SYNC pin must be held low until the complete data-word is
loaded from the DIN pin. When SYNC returns high, the serial
data-word is decoded according to the commands in Table 9.
The command bits (Cx) control the operation of the digital
potentiometer. The data bits (Dx) are the values that are loaded
into the decoded register. The AD5291/AD5292 have an internal
counter that counts a multiple of 16 bits (a frame) for proper
operation. For example, the AD5291/AD5292 work with a 32-bit
word, but do not work properly with a 31-bit or 33-bit word.
The AD5291/AD5292 do not require a continuous SCLK, when
SYNC is high, and all serial interface pins should be operated at
close to the VLOGIC supply rails to minimize power consumption
in the digital input buffers.
SERIAL DATA INTERFACE
RDAC REGISTER
The AD5291/AD5292 contain a serial interface (SYNC, SCLK,
DIN and SDO) that is compatible with SPI interface standards, as
well as most DSPs. The parts allow writing of data via the serial
interface to every register.
The RDAC register directly controls the position of the digital
potentiometer wiper. For example, when the RDAC register is
loaded with all 0s, the wiper is connected to Terminal B of the
variable resistor. The RDAC register is a standard logic register;
there is no restriction on the number of changes allowed.
SHIFT REGISTER
The AD5291/AD5292 shift register is 16 bits wide (see Figure 2).
The 16-bit input word consists of two unused bits (set to 0),
followed by four control bits, and 10 RDAC data bits. For the

AD5291/AD5292
20-TP MEMORY
WRITE PROTECTION
Once a desirable wiper position is found, the contents of the
RDAC register can be saved into a 20-TP memory register
(see Table 10). Thereafter, the wiper position is always set at that
position for any future on-off-on power supply sequence. The
AD5291/AD5292 have an array of 20 one-time programmable
(OTP) memory registers. When the desired word is programmed
to 20-TP memory, the device automatically verifies that the
program command was successful. The verification process
includes margin testing. Bit C3 of the control register can be
polled to verify that the fuse program command was successful.
Programming data to 20-TP memory consumes approximately
25 mA for 550 μs, and takes approximately 8 ms to complete.
During this time, the shift register is locked, preventing any
changes from taking place. The RDY pin can be used to monitor
the completion of the 20-TP memory program and for verification. No change in supply voltage is required to program the
20-TP memory. However, a 1 μF capacitor on the EXT_CAP pin
is required (see Figure 47). Prior to 20-TP activation, the AD5291/
AD5292 preset to midscale on power-up.
On power-up, the shift register write commands for both the
RDAC register and the 20-TP memory register are disabled.
The RDAC write protect bit, C1 of the control register (see
Table 11 and Table 12), is set to 0 by default. This disables any
change of the RDAC register content regardless of the software
commands, except that the RDAC register can be refreshed
from the 20-TP memory using the software reset command
(Command 4) or through hardware by the RESET pin. To enable
programming of the variable resistor wiper position (programming the RDAC register), the write protect bit, C1 of the control
register, must first be programmed. This is accomplished by
loading the shift register with Command 6 (see Table 9). To
enable programming of the 20-TP memory block bit, C0 of the
control register (set to 0 by default) must first be set to 1.

AD5291/AD5292
BASIC OPERATION
The basic mode of setting the variable resistor wiper position
(programming the RDAC register) is accomplished by loading
the shift register with Command 1 (see Table 9) and the desired
wiper position data. When the desired wiper position is determined, the user can load the shift register with Command 3
(see Table 9), which stores the wiper position data in the 20-TP
memory register. After 6 ms, the wiper position is permanently
stored in the 20-TP memory. The RDY pin can be used to monitor the completion of this 20-TP program. Table 10 provides a
programming example, listing the sequence of serial data input
(DIN) words with the serial data output appearing at the SDO
pin in hexadecimal format.
Data from the selected memory location are clocked out of the
SDO pin during the next SPI operation, where the last 10 bits
contain the contents of the specified memory location.
It is also possible to calculate the address of the most recently
programmed memory location by reading back the contents of
read-only Memory Address 0x14 and Memory Address 0x15
using Command 5. The data bytes read back from Memory
Address 0x014 and Memory Address 0x015 are thermometer
encoded versions of the address of the last programmed
memory location.
For the example outlined in Table 13, the address of the last
programmed location is calculated as
(Number of Bits = 1 in Memory Address 0x14) + (Number
of Bits = 1 in Memory Address 0x15) − 1 = 10 + 8 − 1 = 17
(0x10)
20-TP READBACK AND SPARE MEMORY STATUS
It is possible to read back the contents of any of the 20-TP
memory registers through SDO by using Command 5 (see
Table 9). The lower five LSB bits (D0 to D4) of the data byte
select which memory location is to be read back (see Table 14).
If no memory location has been programmed, then the address
generated is −1.

SHUTDOWN MODE
RESISTOR PERFORMANCE MODE
This mode activates a new, patented 1% end-to-end resistor
tolerance that ensures a ±1% resistor tolerance on each code,
that is, code = half scale, RWB = 10 kΩ ± 100 Ω. See Table 2
(AD5291) or Table 4 (AD5292) to check which codes achieve
±1% resistor tolerance. The resistor performance mode is
activated by programming Bit C2 of the control register (see
Table 11 and Table 12). The typical settling time is shown in
Figure 31.

The AD5291/AD5292 can be placed in shutdown mode by
executing the software shutdown command, Command 8 (see
Table 9), and setting the LSB, D0, to 1. This feature places the
RDAC in a special state in which Terminal A is open-circuited and
Wiper W is connected to Terminal B. The contents of the
RDAC register are unchanged by entering shutdown mode.
However, all commands listed in Table 9 are supported while in
shutdown mode. Execute Command 8 (see Table 9) and set the
LSB, D0, to 0 to exit shutdown mode.
Figure 43. Daisy-Chain Configuration Using SDO
RDAC ARCHITECTURE
To achieve optimum cost performance, Analog Devices has
patented the RDAC segmentation architecture for all the digital
potentiometers. In particular, the AD5291/AD5292 employ a
three-stage segmentation approach, as shown in Figure 44. The
AD5291/AD5292 wiper switch is designed with the transmission
gate CMOS topology and with the gate voltages derived from
VDD and VSS.

The shift register serial data output pin (SDO) serves two
purposes. It can be used to read the contents of the wiper
setting or the internal memory values using Command 2 and
Command 5, respectively (see Table 9) or it can be used to
daisy-chain multiple devices. The remaining instructions are valid
for daisy-chaining multiple devices in simultaneous operations.
Daisy-chaining minimizes the number of port pins required
from the controlling IC (see Figure 43). The SDO pin contains
an open-drain N-Channel FET that requires a pull-up resistor,
if this function is used. As shown in Figure 43, users must tie
the SDO pin of one package to the DIN pin of the next package.
Users may need to increase the clock period, because the pullup resistor and the capacitive loading at the SDO/DIN interface
may require additional time delay between subsequent devices.
When two AD5291/AD5292 devices are daisy-chained, 32 bits
of data are required. The first 16 bits go to U2, and the second
16 bits go to U1. Hold the SYNC pin low until all 32 bits are
clocked into their respective shift registers. The SYNC pin is
then pulled high to complete the operation.

A low-to-high transition of the hardware RESET pin loads the
RDAC register with the contents of the most recently programmed
20-TP memory location. The AD5291/AD5292 can also be reset
through software by executing Command 4 (see Table 9). If no
20-TP memory location is programmed, then the RDAC register
loads with midscale upon reset. The control register is restored
with default bit settings; see Table 12.

If ignoring the effect of the wiper resistance for simplicity, connecting the A terminal to 30 V and the B terminal to ground
produces an output voltage at the Wiper W to Terminal B

equal to the voltage applied across Terminal A and Terminal B,
divided by the 256/1024 positions of the potentiometer divider.

to the pulse current specified in Table 6. Otherwise, degradation
or possible destruction of the internal resistors may occur.

If using the AD5291/AD5292 in voltage divider mode as in
Figure 46, then the ±1% resistor tolerance calibration feature
reduces the error when matching with discrete resistors. However,
it is recommended to disable the internal ±1% resistor tolerance
calibration feature by programming Bit C2 of the control
register (see Table 11 and Table 12) to optimize wiper position
update rate. In this configuration, the RDAC is ratiometric and
resistor tolerance error does not affect performance.
Operation of the digital potentiometer in the voltage 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, and
not the absolute values. Therefore, the temperature drift reduces
to 5 ppm/°C.
EXT_CAP CAPACITOR
A 1 μF capacitor to GND must be connected to the EXT_CAP
pin (see Figure 47) on power-up and throughout the operation

performance mode that can be disabled or enabled (this is
enabled by default), by programming Bit C2 of the control
register (see Table 11 and Table 12). The digitally programmed
output resistance between the W terminal and the A terminal,
RWA, and between the W terminal and B terminal, RWB, is internally calibrated to give a maximum of ±1% absolute resistance
error across a wide code range. As a result, the general equations
for determining the digitally programmed output resistance
between the W terminal and B terminal are

The positive VDD and negative VSS power supplies of the
AD5291/AD5292 define the boundary conditions for proper
3-terminal digital potentiometer operation. Supply signals
present on Terminal A, Terminal B, and Terminal W that
exceed VDD or VSS are clamped by the internal forward-biased
diodes (see Figure 48).

The ground pin of the AD5291/AD5292 device is primarily
used as a digital ground reference. To minimize the digital
ground bounce, the AD5291/AD5292 ground terminal should
be joined remotely to the common ground. The digital input
control signals to the AD5291/AD5292 must be referenced to
the device ground pin (GND), and satisfy the logic level defined
in the Specifications section.
Power-Up Sequence
To ensure that the AD5291/AD5292 power up correctly, a 1 μF
capacitor must be connected to the EXT_CAP pin. Because
there are diodes to limit the voltage compliance at Terminal A,
Terminal B, and Terminal W (see Figure 48), it is important to
power VDD and VSS first before applying any voltage to Terminal A,
Terminal B, and Terminal W. Otherwise, the diode is forwardbiased such that VDD and VSS are powered up unintentionally.
The ideal power-up sequence is GND, VSS, VLOGIC and VDD, the
digital inputs, and then VA, VB, and VW. The order of powering
up VA, VB, VW, and the digital inputs is not important as long as
they are powered after VDD, VSS, and VLOGIC.
Regardless of the power-up sequence and the ramp rates of the
power supplies, after VLOGIC is powered, the power-on preset
activates, restoring the 20-TP memory value to the RDAC
register.

The configuration to reduce zipper noise is shown in Figure 53,
and the results of using this configuration are shown in Figure 54.
The input is ac-coupled by C1 and attenuated down before feeding
into the window comparator formed by U2, U3, and U4B. U6 is
used to establish the signal zero reference. The upper limit of
the comparator is set above its offset and, therefore, the output
pulses high whenever the input falls between 2.502 V and 2.497 V
(or 0.005 V window) in this example. This output is AND’ed
with the SYNC signal such that the AD5293 updates whenever
the signal crosses the window. To avoid a constant update of the
device, the SYNC signal should be programmed as two pulses,
rather than as one.
AUDIO VOLUME CONTROL
The excellent THD performance and high voltage capability
make the AD5291/AD5292 ideal for a digital volume control as
an audio attenuator or gain amplifier. A typical problem in
these systems is that a large step change in the volume level at
any arbitrary time can lead to an abrupt discontinuity of the
audio signal causing an audible zipper noise. To prevent this, a
zero-crossing window detector can be inserted to the SYNC
line to delay the device update until the audio signal crosses the
window. Because the input signal can operate on top of any dc
level rather than absolute 0 V level, zero-crossing in this case
means the signal is ac-coupled, and the dc offset level is the
signal zero reference point.
In Figure 54, the lower trace shows that the volume level changes
from a quarter-scale to full-scale when a signal change occurs
near the zero-crossing window.
