GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD5122/AD5142 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 accurate resistor match-

ing.

The high bandwidth and low total harmonic distortion (THD) ensure

optimal performance for ac signals, making these devices suitable

for filter design.

The low wiper resistance of only 40 Ω at the ends of the resistor

array allows pin to pin connection.

The wiper values can be set through an SPI-compatible digital

interface that also reads back the wiper register and EEPROM

contents.

The AD5122/AD5142 are available in a compact, 16-lead, 3 mm × 3

mm LFCSP and a 16-lead TSSOP. The devices are guaranteed to

operate over the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C to

+125°C.
