With versatile programmability, the AD5142 allows multiple modes of operation, including read/write access in the RDAC and EEMEM registers, increment/decrement of resistance, resistance changes in ±6 dB scales, wiper setting readback, and extra EEMEM for storing user-defined information, such as memory data for other components or a lookup table. PACKAGE CONTENTS EVAL-AD5142DBZ board EVAL-MB-LV-SDZ motherboard CD that includes Self-installing software that allows users to control the board and exercise all functions of the device Electronic version of the AD5142 data sheet Electronic version of the UG-471 user guide The AD5142 supports a dual-supply ±2.25 V to ±2.75 V operation and a single-supply 2.3 V to 5.5 V operation, making the device suitable for battery-powered applications and many other applications. In addition, the AD5142 uses a versatile SPI-compatible serial interface, allowing speeds of up to 50 MHz. The EVALAD5142DBZ can operate in single-supply or dual-supply mode and incorporates an internal power supply from the USB. Complete specifications for the AD5142 part can be found in the AD5142 data sheet, which is available from Analog Devices, Inc., and should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using the evaluation board. 11008-001 EVAL-AD5142DBZ WITH MOTHERBOARD AND SDP-S Figure 1.

The EVAL-AD5142DBZ evaluation board can be powered either from the SDP port or externally by the J1 and J2 connectors, as described in Table 1. All supplies are decoupled to ground using 10 µF tantalum and 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors. Table 1.

Several link and switch options are incorporated in the EVALMB-LV-SDZ motherboard and should be set up before using the board. Table 2 describes the positions of the links to control the evaluation board via the SDP board using a PC. The functions of these link options are described in detail in Table 3 through Table 6. Table 2. Link Options Setup for SDP Control (Default) Link No. A5 A11 A12 Option +3V3 3.3 V AGND Linear Gain Setting Mode The linear gain setting mode pin is controlled directly by Jumper A1. If the jumper is placed in DEPEN, the AD5142 powers up in potentiometer mode, and the linear gain setting mode can be controlled by software. If the jumper is placed in INDEP, the part powers up in linear gain setting mode, loading independent values for each resistor string—RAW1, RWB1, RAW2, and RWB2. The part cannot be placed in potentiometer mode again unless the jumper is manually placed in DEPEN. Table 3.
