Pinout The wiper settings are controllable through an I2C-compatible digital interface that is also used to read back the wiper register and EEPROM content. Resistor tolerance is also stored within EEPROM, providing an end-to-end tolerance accuracy of 0.1%. A separate VLOGIC pin delivers increased interface flexibility. For users who need multiple parts on one bus, Address Bit AD0 and Address Bit AD1 allow up to four devices on the same bus. 1 The terms digital potentiometer, VR (variable resistor), and RDAC are used interchangeably.

A | Page 13 of 24 AD5259 THEORY OF OPERATION The AD5259 is a 256-position digitally-controlled variable resistor (VR) device. EEPROM is pre-loaded at midscale from the factory, and initial power-up is, accordingly, at midscale. PROGRAMMING THE VARIABLE RESISTOR Rheostat Operation The nominal resistance (RAB) of the RDAC between Terminal A and Terminal B is available in 5 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, and 100 kΩ. The nominal resistance of the VR has 256 contact points accessed by the wiper terminal. The 8-bit data in the RDAC latch is decoded to select one of 256 possible settings. A W B W B B (2) Typical device-to-device matching is process lot dependent and may vary by up to ±30%. For this reason, resistance tolerance is stored in the EEPROM, enabling the user to know the actual RAB within 0.1%. PROGRAMMING THE POTENTIOMETER DIVIDER Voltage Output Operation The general equation determining the digitally programmed output resistance between Wiper W and Terminal B is D × RAB + 2 × RW 256 (1) The digital potentiometer easily generates a voltage divider at Wiper W to Terminal B and Wiper W to Terminal A proportional to the input voltage at Terminal A to Terminal B. Unlike the polarity of VDD to GND, which must be positive, voltage across Terminal A to Terminal B, Wiper W to Terminal A, and Wiper W to Terminal B can be at either polarity. VI where: D is the decimal equivalent of the binary code loaded in the 8-bit RDAC register. RAB is the end-to-end resistance. RW is the wiper resistance contributed by the ON resistance of each internal switch. A W B VO Figure 40. Potentiometer Mode Configuration If ignoring the effect of the wiper resistance for approximation, connecting the A terminal to 5 V and the B terminal to ground produces an output voltage at Wiper W to Terminal B starting at 0 V up to 1 LSB less than 5 V. The general equation defining the output voltage at VW with respect to ground for any valid input voltage applied to Terminal A and Terminal B is A RS D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 256 − D × RAB + 2 × RW 256 W Figure 38. Rheostat Mode Configuration RWB (D) = RWA (D) = 05026-038 A 05026-036 A Similar to the mechanical potentiometer, the resistance of the RDAC between Wiper W and Terminal A produces a digitally controlled complementary resistance, RWA. The resistance value setting for RWA starts at a maximum value of resistance and decreases as the data loaded in the latch increases in value. The general equation for this operation is RS RS W VW (D) = D 256 − D VA + VB 256 256 (3) A more accurate calculation, which includes the effect of wiper resistance, VW, is RS B VW (D ) = 05026-037 RDAC LATCH AND DECODER Figure 39. AD5259 Equivalent RDAC Circuit In the zero-scale condition, there is a relatively low value finite wiper resistance. Care should be taken to limit the current flow between Wiper W and Terminal B in this state to a maximum pulse current of no more than 20 mA. Otherwise, degradation or destruction of the internal switch contact can occur. R (D ) RWB (D ) VA + WA VB RAB RAB (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 RWA and RWB and not the absolute values. Rev.

The next byte is the slave address byte, which consists of the slave address (first 7 bits) followed by an R/W bit (see Table 6). When the R/W bit is high, the master reads from the slave device. When the R/W bit is low, the master writes to the slave device. The slave address of the part is determined by two configurable address pins, Pin AD0 and Pin AD1. The state of these two pins is registered upon power-up and decoded into a corresponding I2C 7-bit address (see Table 5). The slave address corresponding to the transmitted address bits responds by pulling the SDA line low during the ninth clock pulse (this is termed the slave 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 serial register. WRITING In the write mode, the last bit (R/W) of the slave address byte is logic low. The second byte is the instruction byte. The first three bits of the instruction byte are the command bits (see Table 6). The user must choose whether to write to the RDAC register, EEPROM register, or activate the software write protect (see Table 7 to Table 10). The final five bits are all zeros (see Table 13 to Table 14). The slave again responds by pulling the SDA line low during the ninth clock pulse. The final byte is the data byte MSB first. With the write protect mode, data is not stored; rather, a logic high in the LSB enables write protect. Likewise, a logic low disables write protect. The slave again responds by pulling the SDA line low during the ninth clock pulse. STORING/RESTORING In this mode, only the address and instruction bytes are necessary. The last bit (R/W) of the address byte is logic low. The first three bits of the instruction byte are the command bits (see Table 6). The two choices are transfer data from RDAC to EEPROM (store), or from EEPROM to RDAC (restore). The final five bits are all zeros (see Table 13 to Table 14). READING Assuming the register of interest was not just written to, it is necessary to write a dummy address and instruction byte. The instruction byte will vary depending on whether the data that is wanted is the RDAC register, EEPROM register, or tolerance register (see Table 11 and Table 16). After the dummy address and instruction bytes are sent, a repeat start is necessary. After the repeat start, another address byte is needed, except this time the R/W bit is logic high. Following this address byte is the readback byte containing the information requested in the instruction byte. Read bits appear on the negative edges of the clock. The tolerance register can be read back individually (see Table 15) or consecutively (see Table 16). Refer to the Read Modes section for detailed information on the interpretation of the tolerance bytes. After all data bits have been read or written, a stop condition is established by the master. A stop condition is defined as a low-tohigh transition on the SDA line while SCL is high. In write mode, the master pulls the SDA line high during the tenth clock pulse to establish a stop condition (see Figure 46). 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 raises SDA high to establish a stop condition (see Figure 47). A repeated write function gives the user flexibility to update the RDAC output a number of times after addressing and instructing the part only once. For example, after the RDAC has acknowledged its slave address and instruction bytes in the write mode, the RDAC output is updated on each successive byte until a stop condition is received. If different instructions are needed, the write/read mode has to start again with a new slave address, instruction, and data byte. Similarly, a repeated read function of the RDAC is also allowed.

A | Page 16 of 24 AD5259 READ MODES Read modes are referred to as traditional because the first two bytes for all three cases are dummy bytes, which function to place the pointer towards the correct register; this is the reason for the repeat start. Theoretically, this step can be avoided if the user reads a register previously written to. For example, if the EEPROM was just written to, the user can then skip the two dummy bytes and proceed directly to the slave address byte, followed by the EEPROM readback data. Table 11.

Format of Stored Tolerance in Sign Magnitude Format with Bit Position Descriptions. (Unit is Percent. Only Data Bytes are Shown.) The AD5259 features a patented RAB tolerance storage in the nonvolatile memory. The tolerance is stored in the memory during factory production and can be read by users at any time. The knowledge of stored tolerance allows users to accurately calculate RAB. This feature is valuable for precision, rheostat mode, and open-loop applications where knowledge of absolute resistance is critical. The stored tolerance resides in the read-only memory and is expressed as a percentage. The tolerance is stored in two memory location bytes in sign magnitude binary form (see Figure 41). The two EEPROM address bytes are 11110 (sign + integer) and 11111 (decimal number). The two bytes can be individually accessed with two separate commands (see Table 15). Alternatively, readback of the first byte followed by the second byte can be done in one command (see Table 16). In the latter case, the memory pointer will automatically increment from the first to the second EEPROM location (increments from 11110 to 11111) if read consecutively. In the first memory location, the MSB is designated for the sign (0 = + and 1= −) and the seven LSBs are designated for the integer portion of the tolerance. In the second memory location, all eight data bits are designated for the decimal portion of tolerance. Note the decimal portion has a limited accuracy of only 0.1%. For example, if the rated RAB = 10 kΩ and the data readback from Address 11110 shows 0001 1100, and Address 11111 shows 0000 1111, then the tolerance can be calculated as MSB: 0 = + Next 7 MSB: 001 1100 = 28 8 LSB: 0000 1111 = 15 × 2–8 = 0.06 Tolerance = +28.06% Rounded Tolerance = +28.1% and therefore, RAB_ACTUAL = 12.810 kΩ Rev. A | Page 18 of 24 AD5259 ESD PROTECTION OF DIGITAL PINS AND RESISTOR TERMINALS LAYOUT AND POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING The AD5259 VDD, VLOGIC, and GND power supplies define the boundary conditions for proper 3-terminal and digital input operation. Supply signals present on Terminal A, Terminal B, and Terminal W that exceed VDD or GND are clamped by the internal forward biased ESD protection diodes (see Figure 42). Digital Input SCL and Digital Input SDA are clamped by ESD protection diodes with respect to VLOGIC and GND as shown in Figure 43. VDD A W It is good practice to use compact, minimum lead length layout design. The leads to the inputs should be as direct as possible with minimum conductor length. Ground paths should have low resistance and low inductance. Similarly, it is also good practice to bypass the power supplies with quality capacitors for optimum stability. Supply leads to the device should be bypassed with disc or chip ceramic capacitors of 0.01 μF to 0.1 μF. Low ESR 1 μF to 10 μF tantalum or electrolytic capacitors should also be applied at the supplies to minimize any transient disturbance and low frequency ripple (see Figure 44). The digital ground should also be joined remotely to the analog ground at one point to minimize the ground bounce. GND 05026-039 B VDD C2 10μF + VDD C1 0.1μF Figure 42.

The graphical user interface, as shown in Figure 45, is straightforward and easy to use. More detailed information is available in the board’s user manual. 05026-042 Because the ESD protection diodes limit the voltage compliance at Terminal A, Terminal B, and Terminal W (see Figure 42), it is important to power GND/VDD/VLOGIC before applying any voltage to Terminal A, Terminal B, and Terminal W; otherwise, the diode is forward biased, so the VDD and VLOGIC are powered unintentionally and may affect the user’s circuit. The ideal powerup sequence is in the following order: GND, VDD, VLOGIC, digital inputs, and then VA, VB, VW. The relative order of powering VA, VB, VW, and the digital inputs is not important as long as they are powered after GND/VDD/VLOGIC. The AD5259 has two configurable address pins, Pin AD0 and Pin AD1. The state of these two pins is registered upon powerup and decoded into a corresponding I2C-compatible 7-bit address (see Table 5). This allows up to four devices on the bus to be written to or read from independently. Figure 45. AD5259 Evaluation Board Software Rev. A | Page 19 of 24 AD5259 DISPLAY APPLICATIONS CIRCUITRY For this reason, VLOGIC and VDD are provided as two separate supply pins that can either be tied together or treated independently; VLOGIC supplying the logic/EEPROM with power, and VDD biasing up the A, B, and W terminals for added flexibility. A special feature of the AD5259 is its unique separation of the VLOGIC and VDD supply pins. The separation provides greater flexibility in applications that do not always provide needed supply voltages. In particular, LCD panels often require a VCOM voltage in the range of 3 V to 5 V. The circuit in Figure 46 is the rare exception in which a 5 V supply is available to power the digital potentiometer. 5V 14.4V R1 70kΩ C1 1μF AD5259 R6 10kΩ R5 10kΩ MCU SCL SDA R2 A 10kΩ B U1 AD8565 + 3.5V < VCOM < 4.5V GND – VDD VLOGIC – W R3 25kΩ U1 AD8565 + 3.5V < VCOM < 4.5V Figure 47. Circuitry When a Separate Supply is Not Available for VDD R3 25kΩ 05026-006 GND For a more detailed look at this application, refer to the article, “Simple VCOM Adjustment uses any Logic Supply Voltage” in the September 30, 2004 issue of EDN magazine. Figure 46. VCOM Adjustment Application In the more common case shown in Figure 47, only analog 14.4 V and digital logic 3.3 V supplies are available. By placing discrete resistors above and below the digital potentiometer, VDD can now be tapped off the resistor string itself. Based on the chosen resistor values, the voltage at VDD in this case equals 4.8 V, allowing the wiper to be safely operated all the way up to 4.8 V. The current draw of VDD will not affect that node’s bias because it is only on the order of microamps. VLOGIC is tied to the MCU’s 3.3 V digital supply because VLOGIC will draw the 35 mA which is needed when writing to the EEPROM. It would be impractical to try and source 35 mA through the 70 kΩ resistor, therefore, VLOGIC is not connected to the same node as VDD. Rev.
