RDAC CIRCUIT SIMULATION MODEL
The internal parasitic capacitances and the external capacitive
loads dominate the ac characteristics of the RDACs. Configured
as a potentiometer divider, the −3 dB bandwidth of the AD5235
(25 kΩ resistor) measures 125 kHz at half-scale. Figure 14
provides the large signal BODE plot characteristics of the two
available resistor versions, 25 kΩ and 250 kΩ. A parasitic
simulation model is shown in Figure 62.
