The three input signals are serial data input (SDI), clock(CK) and chip select (CS). A programming sequence consists of 10-bit, where the last eight bit contain the code word for the resistor value. The first two bits A1 and A0 have to be low(see Table ). The data is shifted into the internal 10 Bit register with the rising edge of the CK signal. With the rising edge of the CSN signal the data becomes valid and the resistance is updated (see figure 2). A detailed block diagram is shown in figure 3.

The resistor has 256 contact points where the wiper can access the resistor. The 8-bit code word determines the position of the wiper and is decoded through an internal logic. The lowest code 00h is related to the terminal B. The resistance is then only determined by the wiper resistance (100Ω). The resistance for the next code 01h is the nominal resistor RAB (10kΩ, 20 kΩ, 50kΩ or 100kΩ) divided through 256 plus the wiper resistor. In case of AS1501 (10kΩ) the total resistance is 39Ω+100Ω=139Ω. Accordingly the resistor for code 02h is 78Ω+100Ω=178Ω. The last code 255h does not connect to terminal A directly (see Figure 5). So the maximum value is 10000Ω - 39Ω +100Ω = 10061Ω. The general formula for the calculation of the resistance R WB is: R WB (Dx)= (Dx)/256⋅R AB + R W 21 22 23 Typicals represent average readings at 25°C and VDD=5V. Guaranteed by design and not subject to production test. Resistor-terminal capacitance tests are measured with 2.5V bias on the measured terminal. The remaining resistor terminals are left open circuit. See timing diagram for location of measured values. All input control voltages are specified with t R = t F = 1ns (10% to 90% of VDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6V. Switching characteristics are measured using VDD=3V or 5V. To avoid false clocking, a minimum input logic slew rate of 1V/µs should be maintained. Revision 1.0, Oct 2004 where R AB is the nominal resistance between terminal A and B, R W is the wiper resistance and D X is the 8-Bit Code word. In Table 7 the resistor values between the wiper and terminal B for AS1501 are given for specific codes D X . In the zero-scale condition the wiper resistance of 100Ω remains present.

If the current exceeds this limit the internal switches can degrade or even be damaged. As a mechanical potentiometer the resistance R WA and R W B are totally symmetrical. The relation between them is shown in Figure 4. RDAC LATCH AND DECODE RS W RS B Figure 5: Equivalent RDAC Circuit Voltage Output Operation The AS150x family can easily used in an voltage output mode, where the output voltage is proportional to an applied voltage to a given terminal. When 5V are applied to terminal A and B is set to ground the ouput voltage at the wiper starts at zero volts up to 1LSB less then 5V. One LSB of voltage corresponds to the voltage applied at terminal AB divided through 256 steps of possible wiper settings. The formula is given by RW 75 R WA (D), R WB (D) - % of RS R S =R NOMI NAL / 256 10 RW A 50 25 V W (Dx)= (Dx)/256⋅V AB + V B 0 0 64 12 CODE - 19 Figure 4: R WA and R WB versa Code The resistance RWA is the complimentary resistor to RWB and can be controlled digitally as well. RWA starts at the maximum value of the nominal resistance and is reduced with increasing 8-Bit code words. The formula to calculate RWA is given below: R WA (Dx)= (256 - Dx)/256⋅R AB + R W where R AB is the nominal resistance between terminal A and B, R W is the wiper resistance and D X is the 8-Bit Code word. In Table 8 the resistor values between the wiper and terminal B for AS1501 are given for specific codes D X .

The temperature drift is significant better than in Rheostat mode, since the temperature coefficient is determined by the internal resistor ratio. Therefore the temperature drift is only 15ppm/°C. Applications The digital potentiometer can replace in many applications the analog trimming potentiometer. The digital potentiometer is not sensitive to vibrations and shocks. It has an extremely small form-factor and can be adjusted very fast (e.g. AS1500 has an update rate of 600kHz) Furthermore the temperature drift, resolution and noise are significant better and cannot be achieved with a mechanical trimming potentiometer. Due to the programmability the resistor settings can be stored in the system memory, so that after a power down the exact settings can be recalled easily. All analog signals must remain within 0 to VDD range. For standard potentiometer applications the wiper output can be used directly. In the case of a low impedance load a buffer shall be used.
