1. The programming current operates only during power-up and non-volatile memory writes.
2. DNL and INL are measured with the potentiometer configured as a voltage-divider with HIGH = VDD and LOW =
GND. The wiper terminal is unloaded and measured with a high-input-impedance voltmeter.
3. DNL and INL are measured with the potentiometer configured as a variable resistor. HIGH is unconnected and
LOW = GND. For the 5V condition, the wiper terminal is driven with a source current of 400µA @ 10kΩ, 80µA @
50kΩ, 40µA @ 100kΩ. In 3V conditions, the wiper terminal is driven with a source current of 200µA @ 10kΩ,
40µA @ 50kΩ, 20µA @ 100kΩ.
4. The wiper resistance is measured using the source currents given in Note 3. The number is the worst case
resistance over TAP positions.
5. The device draws higher supply current when the digital inputs are driven with voltages between (VDD - 0.5V)
and (GND + 0.5V).
6. Wiper at midscale with a 10pF load (DC measurement) VDD = 5V, LOW = GND. An AC source (5V peak to peak
sinus signal) is applied to HIGH and the WIPER output is measured. A 3dB bandwidth occurs when the AC
WIPER/HIGH value is 3dB lower than the DC WIPER/HIGH value.
7. Wiper-settling time is the worst-case 0 to 50% rise-time measured between successive wiper positions. HIGH =
VDD, LOW = GND; WIPER is unloaded and measured with a 10pF load.
8. This parameter is not tested but ensured by characterization.
Timing Characteristics
VDD = +2.7 to +5.5V, HIGH = VDD, LOW = GND, TAMB = -40 to +85ºC. Typ values are at VDD = +5.0V, TAMB = +25ºC

AS1507
Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n
8 Detailed Description
The AS1507 contains two resistor arrays with 255 resistive elements each (tap points), and has a total end-to-end
resistance of 10, 50, or 100kΩ (see Ordering Information on page 16).
The device provides high, low, and wiper terminals for a standard voltage-divider configuration. Pins HIGH, LOW, and
WIPER can be connected in any configuration as long as their voltages fall between GND and VDD.
A 3-wire, SPI-compatible serial interface controls movement of the wiper among the 256 tap points. The EEPROM
stores the wiper position and recalls the stored wiper position upon power-up. The EEPROM typically holds wiper data
for 150 years and up to 10M wiper store cycles.
Analog Circuit
The 256 tap points are accessible to the wiper along the resistor string between pins HIGH and LOW (similar to the
end terminals of a mechanical potentiometer). The wiper tap point is selected by programming 8 data bits and a control
byte via the 3-wire serial interface (see Programming the Device on page 10).
Note: Integrated power-on reset circuitry loads the wiper position from the EEPROM at power-up.
Digital Interface
The AS1507 uses an SPI-compatible 3-wire interface for command settings of the device consisting of two input signals (chip-select - CSN, and data clock - SCLK) and one bi-directional data pin (SDIO). Driving CSN low enables serial
interface and the command/data are passed into the device synchronously by each SCLK rising edge.
There are 16-bit commands for write data into the wiper register or the non-volatile memory, and 8-bit commands for
transferring data between wiper register and non-volatile memory and to read the data stored in the wiper register or
non-volatile memory. The 8-bit commands can be implemented in 16-bit command structure alternatively. In this case
the first 8 bits shifted through the SPI interface are not significant. The data byte passed at writing commands represents the position of the wiper.
After loading the 8- or 16-bit command while CSN is low, the loaded command is executed at the next rising edge of
CSN, simultaneously the serial interface is disabled. The CSN signal must be low during the whole serial input stream
through the SPI, otherwise data on the SPI interface are corrupted.
Note: If the data-in stream does not exactly contain 8 or 16 digits, no command is executed at the rising edge of
CSN.

Standby Mode
Low-power standby mode is enabled at CSN high. After a read access standby mode is entered 2 cycles of SCLK
after issuing the last bit of the data wiper or non-volatile register. If the digital inputs are stable VDD or GND there is only
leakage power dissipation of the device.
This power dissipation is defined with 0.1uA (typ) at 25ºC.

AS1507
Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n
EEPROM (Non-Volatile Register)
There is an internal EEPROM register implemented to retain the wiper position after power down. During an ongoing
write cycle of the non-volatile register (tBUSY time) the system must not be powered down. A write cycle on the
EEPROM is indicated by the READY signal.
Data retention defines the ability of an EEPROM to retain data over time. The qualification has been done according to
JEDEC Retention Lifetime Specification (A117). The EEPROM is cycled to the specified endurance limit before the
data retention test is done. Based on activation energy of 0.6eV the data retention time derates over temperature as
shown in Figure 19 on page 8.
For the non-volatile register 1M endurance cycles and a data retention of 150 years are typical at 85 ºC. The non-volatile register is factory trimmed to mid-scale.
Power-Up
The AS1507 contains an integrated power-up circuit. At power up, the data are transferred from the non-volatile memory to the wiper register. The wiper register moves to the stored position. This data transfer takes 5µs after the supply
has reached the POR trigger level.
Programming the Device
Write commands (see Table 6) require 16 clock cycles (see Figure 22 on page 12) to clock in the command and data.
Copy and Read commands (see Table 6) can use 8 clock cycles to clock in the command (see Figure 21 on page 12)
or 16 clock cycles. At 16 clock cycle commands the 8 data bits (D7:D0) are insignificant.

Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n
Commands
Write Wiper Register
This is a 16-bit command (see Figure 22 on page 12). The first byte represents the command word starting with the
MSB bit of the command, the second byte represents the data written to the wiper register (starting with the MSB).
Data 0000 0000 the wiper moves the closest position to LOW, with data 1111 1111 the wiper moves to the closest position to HIGH. The wiper registers can be written independently in two write cycles with different data or in one write
cycle with the same data.
Note: At power-up the wiper position stored in the non-volatile memory are automatically loaded into the wiper register, the wiper moves to the related position.
Write to Non-Volatile Register
This is a 16-bit command (see Figure 22 on page 12). The first byte represents the command word starting with the
MSB bit of the command, the second byte represents the data written to the non-volatile memory. The wiper position is
not changed by this command, since the wiper register is not affected. The non-volatile registers can be written independently in two write cycles with different data or in one write cycle with the same data.
There is a write non-volatile register time defined in the timing specification, which is required for storing the data in the
non-volatile register. The READY pin indicates the write time with an active-low signal. During this time the device
must not be powered down, otherwise the data stored in the non-volatile register is corrupted.
Copy Wiper Register to Non-Volatile Register
This command can be implemented as an 8- or 16-bit command. The data stored in the wiper register are transferred
to the non-volatile memory, to keep the data during power-down. There is no automatic trigger of this command during
power-down of the device. This command must be triggered before powering down the device.
There is a write non-volatile register time defined in the timing specification, which is required for storing the data in the
non-volatile register. During this time the device must not be powered down, otherwise the data stored in the non-volatile register is corrupted.
Copy Non-Volatile Register to Wiper Register
This command can be implemented as an 8- or 16-bit command. The data stored in the non-volatile register are transferred to the wiper register, the wiper register moves to the stored position. This command is automatically executed
during power up of the system.
Read Non-Volatile Register
The AS1507 features the capability to read the data from the non-volatile register via the SPI interface (see Figure 23
on page 12). This command can be implemented as an 8- or 16-bit command. The SDIO pin is a bi-directional pin.
During the CSN low phase of the sequence the SDIO pin is used as input pin to set the command byte. After CSN rising edge the pin SDIO is set as output pin, the data stored in the non-volatile register are read serially, MSB first.
The data propagation starts at the second rising edge of SCLK after the rising edge of CSN. CSN must be high during
the read operation. With the next falling edge of CSN the SDIO pin is set to an input pin again.
Read Wiper Register
The AS1507 features the capability to read the data from the wiper register via the SPI interface (see Figure 23 on
page 12). This command can be implemented as an 8- or 16-bit command. The SDIO pin is a bi-directional pin. During
the CSN low phase of the sequence, the SDIO pin is used as input pin to set the command byte. After CSN rising edge
the pin SDIO is set as output pin, the data stored in the wiper register are read serially, MSB first. The wiper position is
unchanged.
The data propagation starts at the second rising edge of SCLK after the rising edge of CSN. CSN must be high during
the read operation. With the next falling edge of CSN the SDIO pin is set to an input pin again.
Mute Command
When a high signal is applied on the MUTE pin both wiper positions are set to zero permanently. While in mute operation SPI commands to wiper registers are not executed. Data stored in non-volatile registers are not affected by the
mute command. The MUTE pin includes a pull-down resistor. If a mute function is not required the pin can be left
unconnected.

9 Application Information
The AS1507 is intended for circuits requiring digitally controlled adjustable resistance, such as LCD contrast control
(where voltage biasing adjusts the display contrast), or programmable filters with adjustable gain and/or cutoff frequency.
Programmable Filter
Figure 25 shows the configuration for a 1st-order programmable filter.
The DC gain of the filter is adjusted by R2 and can be calculated as:
G = 1 + (R1/R2)
(EQ 1)
The cutoff frequency (fC) is adjusted by R3, and can be calculated as:
fC = 1/(2π x R3 x C)
(EQ 2)

Positive LCD Bias Control
The device can be used in applications where a voltage-divider or variable resistor is used to make an adjustable, positive LCD-bias voltage, such as for the AS1120 LCD Driver. The op amp provides buffering and gain to the resistordivider network made by the potentiometer (Figure 27) or to a fixed resistor and a variable resistor (Figure 28).
