GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5235 is a dual-channel, nonvolatile memory,
2
controlled potentiometer
with 1024-step resolution. The device
performs the same electronic adjustment function as a
mechanical potentiometer with enhanced resolution, solid state
reliability, and superior low temperature coefficient perform-
ance. The AD5235's versatile programming via an SPI
compatible serial interface allows 16 modes of operation and
adjustment including scratchpad programming, memory
storing and restoring, increment/decrement, ±6 dB/step log
taper adjustment, wiper setting readback, and extra EEMEM for
user-defined information such as memory data for other
components, look-up table, or system identification
information.

In the scratchpad programming mode, a specific setting can be
programmed directly to the RDAC
resistance between Terminals W–A and W–B. This setting can
be stored into the EEMEM and is restored automatically to the
RDAC register during system power-on.
The EEMEM content can be restored dynamically or through
external PR strobing, and a WP function protects EEMEM
contents. To simplify the programming, the independent or
simultaneous linear-step increment or decrement commands
can be used to move the RDAC wiper up or down, one step at a
time. For logarithmic ±6 dB changes in wiper setting, the left or
right bit shift command can be used to double or half the
RDAC wiper setting.
AD5235 patterned resistance tolerance is stored in the EEMEM.
The actual end-to-end resistance can, therefore, be known by
the host processor in readback mode. The host can execute the
appropriate resistance step through a software routine that
simplifies open-loop applications as well as precision calibration
and tolerance matching applications.
The AD5235 is available in a thin TSSOP-16 package. The part
is guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial tempera-
ture range of −40°C to +85°C.

    Even numbers of bits are ideal. The graph in Figure 42 shows plots of Log_Error [20 × log Four programming instructions produce logarithmic taper (error/code)] for the AD5235. For example, Code 3 Log_Error = increment and decrement of the wiper position control by 20 × log (0.5/3) = −15.56 dB, which is the worst case.
