GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5272/AD52741 are single-channel, 1024-/256-position
digital rheostats that combine industry leading variable resistor
performance with nonvolatile memory (NVM) in a compact
package.
The AD5272/AD5274 ensure less than 1% end-to-end resistor
tolerance error and offer 50-times programmable (50-TP) memory.
The guaranteed industry leading low resistor tolerance error
feature simplifies open-loop applications as well as precision
calibration and tolerance matching applications.
1
The AD5272/AD5274 device wiper settings are controllable
through the I2C-compatible digital interface. Unlimited
adjustments are allowed before programming the resistance
value into the 50-TP memory. The AD5272/AD5274 do not
require any external voltage supply to facilitate fuse blow and
there are 50 opportunities for permanent programming. During
50-TP activation, a permanent blow fuse command freezes the
wiper position (analogous to placing epoxy on a mechanical
trimmer).
The AD5272/AD5274 are available in a 3 mm × 3 mm 10-lead
LFCSP package and in a 10-lead MSOP package. The parts are
guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial temperature
range of −40°C to +125°C.
Protected by U.S. Patent Number 7688240.

Description
Positive Power Supply. Decouple this pin with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors and 10 μF capacitors.
Terminal A of RDAC. VSS ≤ VA ≤ VDD.
Wiper terminal of RDAC. VSS ≤ VW ≤ VDD.
Negative Supply. Connect to 0 V for single-supply applications. Decouple this pin with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors
and 10 μF capacitors.
External Capacitor. Connect a 1 μF capacitor between EXT_CAP and VSS. This capacitor must have a voltage
rating of ≥7 V.
Ground Pin, Logic Ground Reference.
Hardware Reset Pin. Refreshes the RDAC register with the contents of the 50-TP memory register. Factory
default loads midscale until the first 50-TP wiper memory location is programmed. RESET is active low. Tie RESET
to VDD if not used.
Serial Data Line. This is used in conjunction with the SCL line to clock data into or out of the 16-bit input registers. It is
a bidirectional, open-drain data line that should be pulled to the supply with an external pull-up resistor.
Serial Clock Line. This is used in conjunction with the SDA line to clock data into or out of the 16-bit input registers.
Tristate Address Input. Sets the two least significant bits (Bit A1, Bit A0) of the 7-bit slave address (see Table 11).
Leave floating or tie to VSS.

Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5272 and AD5274 digital rheostats are designed to
operate as true variable resistors for analog signals within the
terminal voltage range of VSS < VTERM < VDD. The RDAC register
contents determine the resistor wiper position. The RDAC
register acts as a scratchpad register, which allows unlimited
changes of resistance settings. The RDAC register can be
programmed with any position setting using the I2C interface.
When a desirable wiper position is found, this value can be
stored in a 50-TP memory register. Thereafter, the wiper
position is always restored to that position for subsequent
power-up. The storing of 50-TP data takes approximately
350 ms; during this time, the AD5272/AD5274 is locked and
does not acknowledge any new command thereby preventing
any changes from taking place. The acknowledge bit can be
polled to verify that the fuse program command is complete.
The AD5272/AD5274 also feature a patented 1% end-to-end
resistor tolerance. This simplifies precision, rheostat mode, and
open-loop applications where knowledge of absolute resistance
is critical.
SERIAL DATA INTERFACE
The AD5272/AD5274 have 2-wire I2C-compatible serial interfaces. Each of 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 AD5272/AD5274 support standard (100 kHz) and fast
(400 kHz) data transfer modes. Support is not provided for
10-bit addressing and general call addressing.
The AD5272/AD5274 each has a 7-bit slave address. The five
MSBs are 01011 and the two LSBs are determined by the state
of the ADDR pin. The facility to make hardwired changes to
ADDR allows the user to incorporate up to three of these
devices on one bus as outlined in Table 11.
The 2-wire serial bus protocol operates as follows: 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 next byte is the address byte, which consists
of the 7-bit slave address and a R/W bit. The slave device corresponding to the transmitted address responds by pulling
SDA low during the ninth clock pulse (this is termed 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.
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 or written, a stop condition is
established. In write mode, the master pulls the SDA line high
during the 10th 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 10th clock pulse, and then
high during the 10th clock pulse to establish a stop condition.
SHIFT REGISTER
For the AD5272/AD5274, the shift register is 16 bits wide, as
shown in Figure 2. The 16-bit word consists of two unused bits,
which should be set to zero, followed by four control bits and
10 RDAC data bits (note that for the AD5274 only, the lower
two RDAC data bits are don’t care if the RDAC register is read
from or written to), and data is loaded MSB first (Bit 15). The
four control bits determine the function of the software command
(Table 12). Figure 43 shows a timing diagram of a typical
AD5272/AD5274 write sequence.
The command bits (Cx) control the operation of the digital
potentiometer and the internal 50-TP memory. The data bits
(Dx) are the values that are loaded into the decoded register.

Two bytes of data are then written to the RDAC, the most

WRITE OPERATION
It is possible to write data for the RDAC register or the control
register. When writing to the AD5272/AD5274, the user must
begin with a start command followed by an address byte (R/W
= 0), after which the AD5272/AD5274 acknowledges that it is
prepared to receive data by pulling SDA low.
A repeated write function gives the user flexibility to update the
device a number of times after addressing the part only once, as
shown in Figure 44.

A stop condition follows. These bytes contain the read instruction, which enables readback of the RDAC register, 50-TP
memory, or the control register. The user can then read back
the data beginning with a start command followed by an
address byte (R/W = 1), after which the device acknowledges
that it is prepared to transmit data by pulling SDA low. Two
bytes of data are then read from the device, as shown in Figure 45.

AD5272/AD5274
RDAC REGISTER
Prior to 50-TP activation, the AD5272/AD5274 is preset to
midscale on power-up. It is possible to read back the contents
of any of the 50-TP memory registers through the I2C interface
by using Command 5 in Table 12. The lower six LSB bits, D0 to
D5 of the data byte, select which memory location is to be read
back. A binary encoded version address of the most recently
programmed wiper memory location can be read back using
Command 6 in Table 12. This can be used to monitor the spare
memory status of the 50-TP memory block.
The RDAC register directly controls the position of the digital
rheostat wiper. For example, when the RDAC register is loaded
with all zeros, the wiper is connected to Terminal A of the
variable resistor. It is possible to both write to and read from
the RDAC register using the I2C interface. The RDAC register
is a standard logic register; there is no restriction on the number
of changes allowed.
50-TP MEMORY BLOCK
WRITE PROTECTION
The AD5272/AD5274 contain an array of 50-TP programmable
memory registers, which allow the wiper position to be programmed up to 50 times. Table 16 shows the memory map.
Command 3 in Table 12 programs the contents of the RDAC
register to memory. The first address to be programmed is
Location 0x01, see Table 16, and the AD5272/AD5274 increments the 50-TP memory address for each subsequent program
until the memory is full. Programming data to 50-TP consumes
approximately 4 mA for 55 ms, and takes approximately 350 ms
to complete, during which time the shift register is locked preventing any changes from taking place. Bit C3 of the control
register in Table 15 can be polled to verify that the fuse program
command was successful. No change in supply voltage is required
to program the 50-TP memory; however, a 1 µF capacitor on
the EXT_CAP pin is required as shown in Figure 47.
On power-up, serial data input register write commands for
both the RDAC register and the 50-TP memory registers are
disabled. The RDAC write protect bit (Bit C1) of the control
register (see Table 14 and Table 15) is set to 0 by default. This
disables any change of the RDAC register content regardless of
the software commands, except that the RDAC register can be
refreshed from the 50-TP memory using the software reset,
Command 4, or through hardware by the RESET pin. To enable
programming of the variable resistor wiper position (programming
the RDAC register), the write protect bit (Bit C1) of the control
register must first be programmed. This is accomplished by
loading the serial data input register with Command 7 (see
Table 12). To enable programming of the 50-TP memory block,
Bit C0 of the control register, which is set to 0 by default, must
first be set to 1.

50-TP MEMORY WRITE-ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING
A
After each write operation to the 50-TP registers, an internal
write cycle begins. The I2C interface of the device is disabled.
To determine if the internal write cycle is complete and the
I2C interface is enabled, interface polling can be executed. I2C
interface polling can be conducted by sending a start condition,
followed by the slave address and the write bit. If the I2C interface
responds with an acknowledge (ACK), the write cycle is complete
and the interface is ready to proceed with further operations.
Otherwise, I2C interface polling can be repeated until it completes.

The AD5272/AD5274 can be reset through software by executing
Command 4 (see Table 12) or through hardware on the low
pulse of the RESET pin. The reset command loads the RDAC
register with the contents of the most recently programmed 50-TP
memory location. The RDAC register loads with midscale if no
50-TP memory location has been previously programmed. Tie
RESET to VDD if the RESET pin is not used.
RESISTOR PERFORMANCE MODE
This mode activates a new, patented 1% end-to-end resistor
tolerance that ensures a ±1% resistor tolerance on each code,
that is, code = half scale and RWA = 10 kΩ ± 100 Ω. See Table 2,
Table 3, Table 5, and Table 6 to check which codes achieve ±1%
resistor tolerance. The resistor performance mode is activated by
programming Bit C2 of the control register (see Table 14 and
Table 15).
SHUTDOWN MODE
The AD5272/AD5274 can be shut down by executing the software
shutdown command, Command 9 (see Table 12), and setting
the LSB to 1. This feature places the RDAC in a zero-powerconsumption state where Terminal Ax is disconnected from
the wiper terminal. It is possible to execute any command from
Table 12 while the AD5272 or AD5274 is in shutdown mode.
The part can be taken out of shutdown mode by executing
Command 9 and setting the LSB to 0, or by issuing a software
or hardware reset.
RDAC ARCHITECTURE
To achieve optimum performance, Analog Devices has patented the
RDAC segmentation architecture for all the digital potentiometers.
In particular, the AD5272/AD5274 employ a three-stage
segmentation approach, as shown in Figure 46. The AD5272/
AD5274 wiper switch is designed with the transmission gate
CMOS topology.
08076-008

Figure 46. Simplified RDAC Circuit
PROGRAMMING THE VARIABLE RESISTOR
Rheostat Operation—1% Resistor Tolerance
The nominal resistance between Terminal W and Terminal A, RWA,
is available in 20 kΩ, 50 kΩ, and 100 kΩ, and 1024-/256-tap points
accessed by the wiper terminal. The 10-/8-bit data in the RDAC
latch is decoded to select one of the 1024 or 256 possible wiper
settings. The AD5272/ AD5274 contain an internal ±1% resistor
tolerance calibration feature which can be disabled or enabled,
enabled by default, or by programming Bit C2 of the control
register (see Table 15). The digitally programmed output resistance between the W terminal and the A terminal, RWA, is
calibrated to give a maximum of ±1% absolute resistance error
over both the full supply and temperature ranges. As a result,
the general equations for determining the digitally programmed
output resistance between the W terminal and A terminal are as
follows:
For the AD5272
D
(1)
RWA (D) =
× RWA
1024
For the AD5274
RWA (D) =
D
× RWA
256
(2)
where:
D is the decimal equivalent of the binary code loaded in the
10-/8-bit RDAC register.
RWA is the end-to-end resistance.
In the zero-scale condition, a finite total wiper resistance of
120 Ω is present. Regardless of which setting the part is operating in, take care to limit the current between the A terminal
to B terminal, W terminal to A terminal, and W terminal to
B terminal, to the maximum continuous current of ±3 mA, or
the pulse current specified in Table 8. Otherwise, degradation or
possible destruction of the internal switch contact can occur.

The ground pins of the AD5272/AD5274 devices are primarily
used as digital ground references. To minimize the digital
ground bounce, join the AD5272/AD5274 ground terminal
remotely to the common ground. The digital input control
signals to the AD5272/AD5274 must be referenced to the
device ground pin (GND) and satisfy the logic level defined in
the Specifications section. An internal level shift circuit ensures
that the common-mode voltage range of the three terminals
extends from VSS to VDD, regardless of the digital input level.
Figure 47. EXT_CAP Hardware Setup
TERMINAL VOLTAGE OPERATING RANGE
The positive VDD and negative VSS power supplies of the
AD5272/AD5274 define the boundary conditions for proper
2-terminal digital resistor operation. Supply signals present on
Terminal A and Terminal W that exceed VDD or VSS are clamped
by the internal forward-biased diodes (see Figure 48).
VDD
Because there are diodes to limit the voltage compliance at
Terminal A and Terminal W (see Figure 48), it is important to
power VDD/VSS first before applying any voltage to Terminal A
and Terminal W; otherwise, the diode is forward-biased such
that VDD/VSS are powered unintentionally. The ideal power-up
sequence is VSS, GND, VDD, digital inputs, VA, and VW. The
order of powering VA, VW, and digital inputs is not important
as long as they are powered after VDD/VSS.
As soon as VDD is powered, the power-on preset activates, which
first sets the RDAC to midscale and then restores the last
programmed 50-TP value to the RDAC register.
