GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Table 1. Family Models
The AD5123/AD5143 potentiometers provide a nonvolatile
solution for 128-/256-position adjustment applications, offering
guaranteed low resistor tolerance errors of ±8% and up to ±6 mA
current density in the Ax, Bx, and Wx pins.

The low resistor tolerance and low nominal temperature coefficient
simplify open-loop applications as well as applications requiring
tolerance matching.
The linear gain setting mode allows independent programming
of the resistance between the digital potentiometer terminals,
through the RAW and RWB string resistors, allowing very accurate
resistor matching.
The high bandwidth and low total harmonic distortion (THD)
ensure optimal performance for ac signals, making the devices
suitable for filter design.

The low wiper resistance of only 40 Ω at the ends of the resistor
array allows for pin-to-pin connection.

Typical values represent average readings at 25°C, VDD = 5 V, and VSS = 0 V.
Resistor integral nonlinearity (R-INL) error 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. The maximum wiper current is limited to (0.7 × VDD)/RAB.
3
Guaranteed by design and characterization, not subject to production test.
4
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.
5
Resistor Terminal A, Resistor Terminal B, and Resistor Terminal W have no limitations on polarity with respect to each other. Dual-supply operation enables ground
referenced bipolar signal adjustment.
6
Different from operating current; supply current for EEPROM program lasts approximately 30 ms.
7
Different from operating current; supply current for EEPROM read lasts approximately 20 µs.
8
PDISS is calculated from (IDD × VDD).
9
All dynamic characteristics use VDD/VSS = ±2.5 V.
10
Endurance is qualified to 100,000 cycles per JEDEC Standard 22, Method A117 and measured at −40°C to +125°C.
11
Retention lifetime equivalent at junction temperature (TJ) = 125°C per JEDEC Standard 22, Method A117. Retention lifetime, based on an activation energy of 1 eV,
derates with junction temperature in the Flash/EE memory.

Maximum bus capacitance is limited to 400 pF.
The SDA and SCL timing is measured with the input filters enabled. Switching off the input filters improves the transfer rate; however, it has a negative effect on the
EMC behavior of the part.
3
Input filtering on the SCL and SDA inputs suppresses noise spikes that are less than 50 ns for fast mode.
4
EEPROM program time depends on the temperature and EEPROM write cycles. Higher timing is expected at lower temperatures and higher write cycles.
5
Maximum time after VDD − VSS is equal to 2.3 V.

AD5123/AD5143
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5123/AD5143 digital programmable potentiometers are
designed to operate as true variable resistors for analog signals
within the terminal voltage range of VSS < VTERM < VDD. The resistor
wiper position is determined by the RDAC register contents. The
RDAC register acts as a scratchpad register that allows unlimited
changes of resistance settings. A secondary register (the input
register) can be used to preload the RDAC register data.
The RDAC register can be programmed with any position setting
using the I2C interface (depending on the model). When a desirable
wiper position is found, this value can be stored in the EEPROM
memory. Thereafter, the wiper position is always restored to
that position for subsequent power-ups. The storing of EEPROM
data takes approximately 15 ms; during this time, the device is
locked and does not acknowledge any new command, preventing
any changes from taking place.
I2C SERIAL DATA INTERFACE
The AD5123/AD5143 has 2-wire, I2C-compatible serial interfaces.
These devices can be connected to an I2C bus as a slave device,
under the control of a master device. See Figure 3 for a timing
diagram of a typical write sequence.
The AD5123/AD5143 supports standard (100 kHz) and fast
(400 kHz) data transfer modes. Support is not provided for
10-bit addressing and general call addressing.
The 2-wire serial bus protocol operates as follows:
1.
RDAC REGISTER AND EEPROM
The RDAC register directly controls the position of the digital
potentiometer wiper. For example, when the RDAC register is
loaded with 0x80 (AD5143, 256 taps), the wiper is connected to
half scale of the variable resistor. The RDAC register is a standard
logic register; there is no restriction on the number of changes
allowed.
It is possible to both write to and read from the RDAC register
using the digital interface (see Table 9).
2.
The contents of the RDAC register can be stored to the EEPROM
using Command 9 (see Table 9). Thereafter, the RDAC register
always sets at that position for any future on-off-on power supply
sequence. It is possible to read back data saved into the EEPROM
with Command 3 (see Table 9).
3.
Alternatively, the EEPROM can be written to independently
using Command 11 (see Table 15).
INPUT SHIFT REGISTER
For the AD5123/AD5143, the input shift register is 16 bits wide,
as shown in Figure 2. The 16-bit word consists of four control
bits, followed by four address bits and by eight data bits.
If the AD5143 RDAC or EEPROM registers are read from or
written to, the lowest data bit (Bit 0) is ignored.
Data is loaded MSB first (Bit 15). The four control bits determine
the function of the software command, as listed in Table 9 and
Table 15.
The master initiates a data transfer by establishing a start
condition, which is when a high-to-low transition on the
SDA line occurs while SCL is high. The following byte is
the address byte, which consists of the 7-bit slave address
and an R/W bit. The slave device corresponding to the
transmitted address responds by pulling SDA low during
the ninth clock pulse (this is called the acknowledge bit).
At this stage, all other devices on the bus remain idle while
the selected device waits for data to be written to, or read
from, its shift register.
If the R/W bit is set high, the master reads from the slave
device. However, if the R/W bit is set low, the master writes
to the slave device.
Data is transmitted over the serial bus in sequences of nine
clock pulses (eight data bits followed by an acknowledge bit).
The transitions on the SDA line must occur during the low
period of SCL and remain stable during the high period of SCL.
When all data bits have been read from or written to, a stop
condition is established. In write mode, the master pulls the
SDA line high during the tenth clock pulse to establish a stop
condition. In read mode, the master issues a no acknowledge
for the ninth clock pulse (that is, the SDA line remains high).
The master then brings the SDA line low before the tenth
clock pulse, and then high again during the tenth clock pulse
to establish a stop condition.

AD5123/AD5143
ADVANCED CONTROL MODES
Low Wiper Resistance Feature
The AD5123/AD5143 digital potentiometers include a set of user
programming features to address the wide number of applications
for these universal adjustment devices (see Table 15 and Table 17).
The AD5123/AD5143 include two commands to reduce the wiper
resistance between the terminals when the devices achieve full scale
or zero scale. These extra positions are called bottom scale, BS, and
top scale, TS. The resistance between Terminal A and Terminal W
at top scale is specified as RTS. Similarly, the bottom scale resistance
between Terminal B and Terminal W is specified as RBS.
Key programming features include the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Input register
Linear gain setting mode
Low wiper resistance feature
Linear increment and decrement instructions
±6 dB increment and decrement instructions
Burst mode (I2C only)
Reset
Shutdown mode
The contents of the RDAC registers are unchanged by entering
in these positions. There are three ways to exit from top scale
and bottom scale: by using Command 12 or Command 13
(see Table 15); by loading new data in an RDAC register, which
includes increment/decrement operations; or by entering
shutdown mode, Command 15 (see Table 15).
Input Register
The AD5123/AD5143 include one input register per RDAC
register. These registers allow preloading of the value for the
associated RDAC register. These registers can be written to using
Command 2 and read back using Command 3 (see Table 15).
This feature allows a synchronous and asynchronous update of
one or all of the RDAC registers at the same time.
The transfer from the input register to the RDAC register is
done synchronously by Command 8 (see Table 15).
If new data is loaded in an RDAC register, this RDAC register
automatically overwrites the associated input register.
Linear Gain Setting Mode
The patented architecture of the AD5123/AD5143 allows the
independent control of each string resistor, RAW, and RWB. To enable
linear gain setting mode, use Command 16 (see Table 15) to set
Bit D2 of the control register (see Table 17).
This mode of operation can control the potentiometer as two
independent rheostats connected at a single point, W terminal,
as opposed to potentiometer mode where each resistor is
complementary, RAW = RAB − RWB.
This mode enables a second input and an RDAC register per
channel, as shown in Table 16; however, the actual RDAC
contents remain unchanged. The same operations are valid
for potentiometer and linear setting gain modes. The parts
restore in potentiometer mode after a reset or power-up.
Table 11 and Table 12 show the truth tables for the top scale
position and the bottom scale position, respectively, when the
potentiometer or linear gain setting mode is enabled.

Linear Increment and Decrement Instructions
The increment and decrement commands (Command 4 and
Command 5 in Table 15) are useful for linear step adjustment
applications. These commands simplify microcontroller
software coding by allowing the controller to send an increment
or decrement command to the device. The adjustment can be
individual or in a ganged potentiometer arrangement, where all
wiper positions are changed at the same time.
For an increment command, executing Command 4 automatically
moves the wiper to the next resistance RDAC position. This
command can be executed in a single channel or multiple channels.

AD5123/AD5143
Data Sheet
±6 dB Increment and Decrement Instructions
Reset
Two programming instructions produce logarithmic taper
increment or decrement of the wiper position control by
an individual potentiometer or by a ganged potentiometer
arrangement where all RDAC register positions are changed
simultaneously. The +6 dB increment is activated by Command 6,
and the −6 dB decrement is activated by Command 7 (see Table 15).
For example, starting with the zero-scale position and executing
Command 6 ten times moves the wiper in 6 dB steps to the fullscale position. When the wiper position is near the maximum
setting, the last 6 dB increment instruction causes the wiper to
go to the full-scale position (see Table 13).
The AD5123/AD5143 can be reset through software by executing
Command 14 (see Table 15). The reset command loads the
RDAC registers with the contents of the EEPROM and takes
approximately 30 µs. The EEPROM is preloaded to midscale at
the factory, and initial power-up is, accordingly, at midscale.
Incrementing the wiper position by +6 dB essentially doubles
the RDAC register value, whereas decrementing the wiper
position by −6 dB halves the register value. Internally, the
AD5123/AD5143 use shift registers to shift the bits left and
right to achieve a ±6 dB increment or decrement. These
functions are useful for various audio/video level adjustments,
especially for white LED brightness settings in which human
visual responses are more sensitive to large adjustments than to
small adjustments.

Shutdown Mode
The AD5123/AD5143 can be placed in shutdown mode by
executing the software shutdown command, Command 15
(see Table 15), and setting the LSB (D0) to 1. This feature places
the RDAC in a zero power consumption state where the device
operates in potentiometer mode, Terminal A is open-circuited,
and the wiper, Terminal W, is connected to Terminal B; however, a
finite wiper resistance of 40 Ω is present. When the device is
configured in linear gain setting mode, the resistor addressed,
RAW or RWB, is internally place at high impedance. Table 14
shows the truth table depending on the device operating mode.
The contents of the RDAC register are unchanged by entering
shutdown mode. However, all commands listed in Table 15 are
supported while in shutdown mode. Execute Command 15 (see
Table 15) and set the LSB (D0) to 0 to exit shutdown mode.

EEPROM OR RDAC REGISTER PROTECTION
The EEPROM and RDAC registers can be protected by disabling
any update to these registers. This can be done by using software or
by using hardware. If these registers are protected by software,
set Bit D0 and/or Bit D1 (see Table 17), which protects the RDAC
and EEPROM registers independently.
When RDAC is protected, the only operation allowed is to copy
the EEPROM into the RDAC register.
Burst Mode
By enabling the burst mode, multiple data bytes can be sent to
the part consecutively. After the command byte, the part
interprets the consecutive bytes as data bytes for the command.
A new command can be sent by generating a repeat start or by a
stop and start condition.
The burst mode is activated by setting Bit D3 of the control
register (see Table 17).

AD5123/AD5143
RDAC ARCHITECTURE
To achieve optimum performance, Analog Devices, Inc., has
patented the RDAC segmentation architecture for all the digital
potentiometers. In particular, the AD5123/AD5143 employ a
three-stage segmentation approach, as shown in Figure 36. The
AD5123/AD5143 wiper switch is designed with the transmission
gate CMOS topology and with the gate voltage derived from
VDD and VSS.
A
The nominal resistance between Terminal A and Terminal B,
RAB, is 10 kΩ or 100 kΩ, and has 128/256 tap points accessed by
the wiper terminal. The 7-bit/8-bit data in the RDAC latch is
decoded to select one of the 128/256 possible wiper settings. The
general equations for determining the digitally programmed
output resistance between Terminal W and Terminal B are

In potentiometer mode, similar to the mechanical potentiometer,
the resistance between Terminal W and Terminal A also produces
a digitally controlled complementary resistance, RWA. RWA also
gives a maximum of 8% absolute. RWA starts at the maximum
resistance value and decreases as the data loaded into the latch
increases. The general equations for this operation are

PROGRAMMING THE VARIABLE RESISTOR
Rheostat Operation—±8% Resistor Tolerance
The AD5123/AD5143 operate in rheostat mode when only two
terminals are used as a variable resistor. The unused terminal can
be floating, or it can be tied to Terminal W, as shown in Figure 37.

In addition, the AD5123/AD5143 include new positions to
reduce the resistance between terminals. These positions are
called bottom scale and top scale. At bottom scale, the typical
wiper resistance decreases from 130 Ω to 60 Ω (RAB = 100 kΩ).
At top scale, the resistance between Terminal A and Terminal W is
decreased by 1 LSB, and the total resistance is reduced to 60 Ω
(RAB = 100 kΩ).

VDD
In the bottom scale condition or top scale condition, a finite
total wiper resistance of 40 Ω is present. Regardless of which
setting the part is operating in, limit the current between
Terminal A to Terminal B, Terminal W to Terminal A, and
Terminal W to Terminal B, to the maximum continuous
current of ±6 mA or to the pulse current specified in Table 5.
Otherwise, degradation or possible destruction of the internal
switch contact can occur.

Voltage Output Operation
POWER-UP SEQUENCE
The digital potentiometer easily generates a voltage divider at
wiper-to-B and wiper-to-A that is proportional to the input voltage
at A to B, as shown in Figure 38.
Because there are diodes to limit the voltage compliance at
Terminal A, Terminal B, and Terminal W (see Figure 39), it is
important to power up VDD first before applying any voltage to
Terminal A, Terminal B, and Terminal W. Otherwise, the diode
is forward-biased such that VDD is powered unintentionally. The
ideal power-up sequence is VSS, VDD, digital inputs, and VA, VB,
and VW. The order of powering VA, VB, VW, and digital inputs is
not important as long as they are powered after VSS and VDD.
Regardless of the power-up sequence and the ramp rates of the
power supplies, once VDD is powered, the power-on preset
activates, which restores EEPROM values to the RDAC registers.

where:
RWB(D) can be obtained from Equation 1 and Equation 2.
RAW(D) can be obtained from Equation 3 and Equation 4.
Operation of the digital potentiometer in the 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, RAW and RWB, and not the
absolute values. Therefore, the temperature drift reduces to
5 ppm/°C.
It is always a good practice to use a compact, minimum lead
length layout design. Ensure that the leads to the input are as
direct as possible with a minimum conductor length. Ground
paths should have low resistance and low inductance. It is also
good practice to bypass the power supplies with quality capacitors.
Apply low equivalent series resistance (ESR) 1 μF to 10 μF
tantalum or electrolytic capacitors at the supplies to minimize
any transient disturbance and to filter low frequency ripple.
Figure 40 illustrates the basic supply bypassing configuration
for the AD5123/AD5143.
VDD
TERMINAL VOLTAGE OPERATING RANGE
The AD5123/AD5143 are designed with internal ESD diodes
for protection. These diodes also set the voltage boundary of
the terminal operating voltages. Positive signals present on
Terminal A, Terminal B, or Terminal W that exceed VDD are
clamped by the forward-biased diode. There is no polarity
constraint between VA, VW, and VB, but they cannot be higher
than VDD or lower than VSS.
