GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5291 and AD5292 are single-channel, 256-/1024position 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% end-to-end resistor
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 and 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 and 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 and 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 to code 0xFF or between RWA at code 0xFD to
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.
3
Resistor performance mode (see the Resistor Performance Mode section). The terms resistor performance mode and R-Perf mode are used interchangeably.
4
Guaranteed by design and characterization, not subject to production test.
5
INL and DNL are measured at VWB with the RDAC configured as a potentiometer divider similar to a voltage output DAC. VA = VDD and VB = 0 V. DNL specification limits
of ±1 LSB maximum are guaranteed monotonic operating conditions.
6
Resistor Terminal A, Resistor Terminal B, and Resistor Terminal W have no limitations on polarity with respect to each other. Dual-supply operation enables groundreferenced bipolar signal adjustment.
7
Different from operating current; supply current for fuse program lasts approximately 550 μs.
8
Different from operating current; supply current for fuse read lasts approximately 550 μs.

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 and 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.

AD5291/AD5292
THEORY OF OPERATION
For the 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 11). Figure 3 shows a timing
diagram of a typical AD5291 and AD5292 write sequence.
The AD5291 and AD5292 digital 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 powerup. 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 20TP 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 11.
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 and AD5292 have an
internal counter that counts a multiple of 16 bits (a frame) for
proper operation. For example, AD5291 and AD5292 work with
a 32-bit word but does not work properly with a 31-bit or 33-bit
word. The AD5291 and 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 and AD5292 contain a serial interface (SYNC,
SCLK, DIN and SDO) that is compatible with SPI interface
standards, as well as most DSPs. The part allows 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 zeros, 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 and 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.

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 12). Thereafter, the wiper position is always set at that
position for any future on-off-on power supply sequence. The
AD5291 and 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 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 68). Prior to 20-TP activation, the AD5291
and 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 13 and Table 14), 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 11). 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.

BASIC OPERATION
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.
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 11) 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 11), 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 12 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.
If no memory location has been programmed, then the address
generated is −1.
20-TP READBACK AND SPARE MEMORY STATUS
SHUTDOWN MODE
It is possible to read back the contents of any of the 20-TP
memory registers through SDO by using Command 5 (see
Table 11). The lower five LSB bits (D0 to D4) of the data byte
select which memory location is to be read back (see Table 16).
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.
The AD5291 and AD5292 can be placed in shutdown mode by
executing the software shutdown command, Command 8 (see
Table 11), 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 11 are supported while
in shutdown mode. Execute Command 8 (see Table 11), and set
the LSB, D0, to 0 to exit shutdown mode.
It is also possible to calculate the address of the most recently
programmed memory location by reading back the contents of
For the example outlined in Table 15, 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

This mode activates a new, patented 1% end-to-end resistor

that is, code = half scale, RWB = 10 kΩ ± 100 Ω. See Table 2
(AD5291) or Table 5 (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 13 and Table 14). The typical settling time is shown in
Figure 50.
Keep the SYNC pin low until all 32 bits are clocked into their
respective serial registers. The SYNC pin is then pulled high to

RESET
SDO PIN AND DAISY-CHAIN OPERATION
The serial data output pin (SDO) serves two purposes: it can be
used to read the contents of the wiper setting, 50-TP values and
control register using Command 2, Command 5 and Command 7,
respectively (see Table 11) or the SDO pin can be used in daisychain mode. Data is clocked out of SDO on the rising edge of
SCLK. The SDO pin contains an open-drain N-channel FET
that requires a pull-up resistor if this pin is used. To place the
pin in high impedance and minimize the power dissipation
when the pin is used, the 0x8001 data word followed by
Command 0 should be sent to the part. Table 17 provides a
sample listing for the sequence of the serial data input (DIN).
Daisy chaining minimizes the number of port pins required
from the controlling IC. As shown in Figure 64, users need to
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 pull-up resistor and the capacitive loading at the SDO-toDIN interface may require additional time delay between
subsequent devices.
Figure 64. Daisy-Chain Configuration Using SDO
RDAC ARCHITECTURE
To achieve optimum performance, Analog Devices has patented
the RDAC segmentation architecture for all the digital
potentiometers. In particular, the AD5291 and AD5292 employ
a three-stage segmentation approach, as shown in Figure 65.
The AD5291 and AD5292 wiper switches are designed with the
transmission gate CMOS topology and with the gate voltages
derived from VDD and VSS.

The nominal resistance between Terminal A and Terminal B,

internal ±1% resistor performance mode that can be disabled or
enabled (this is enabled by default), by programming Bit C2 of
the control register (see Table 13 and Table 14). 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

Voltage Output Operation
The digital potentiometer easily generates a voltage divider at
the wiper to B and at the wiper to A that is proportional to the
input voltage at A to B, as shown in Figure 67. 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.

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
ranging from 0 V to 1 LSB less than 30 V. Each LSB of voltage is
equal to the voltage applied across Terminal A and Terminal B,
divided by the 256/1024 positions of the potentiometer divider.
The general equations defining the output voltage at VW with

PROGRAMMING THE POTENTIOMETER DIVIDER

Similar to the mechanical potentiometer, the resistance of the
RDAC between the W terminal and the A terminal also produces a
digitally controlled complementary resistance, RWA. RWA is also
calibrated to give a maximum of 1% absolute resistance error.
RWA starts at the maximum resistance value and decreases as the
data loaded into the latch increases. The general equations for
this operation are
RWA (D ) =
In the zero-scale condition, a finite total wiper resistance of 120 Ω
is present. Regardless of which setting the part is operating in,
take care to limit the current between Terminal A and Terminal B,
between Terminal W and Terminal A, and between Terminal W
and Terminal B, to the maximum continuous current of ±3 mA or
to the pulse current specified in Table 8. Otherwise, degradation
or possible destruction of the internal resistors may occur.
07674-053
The AD5291 and AD5292 operate in rheostat mode when only
two terminals are used as a variable resistor. The unused
terminal can be left floating or tied to the W terminal, as shown in

If using the AD5291 and AD5292 in voltage divider mode as
shown in Figure 67, 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 13 and Table 14) to optimize wiper
position update rate. In this configuration, the RDAC is ratiometric and resistor tolerance error does not affect performance.
Rev. D | Page 26 of 32
AD5291/AD5292
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 68) on power-up and throughout the operation
of the AD5291 and AD5292.

TERMINAL VOLTAGE OPERATING RANGE
The positive VDD and negative VSS power supplies of the
AD5291 and 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 forwardbiased diodes (see Figure 69).
The ground pins of the AD5291 and AD5292 devices are
primarily used as a digital ground reference. To minimize the
digital ground bounce, the AD5291 and AD5292 ground
terminals should be joined remotely to the common ground.
The digital input control signals to the AD5291 and 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 and 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 69), 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.

It is possible to configure the AD5292 as a high accuracy DAC
by optimizing the resolution of the device over a specific
reduced voltage range. This is achieved by placing external
resistors on either side of the RDAC, as shown in Figure 72.

The configuration to reduce zipper noise is shown in Figure 74,
and the results of using this configuration is shown in Figure 75.
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 AD5291 and AD5292
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 and 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 zero volt
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 75, 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.
