GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This user guide describes the evaluation board for evaluating the
AD5142A—a quad-channel, 256-position, nonvolatile memory,
digital potentiometer. With versatile programmability, the
AD5142A
allows multiple modes of operation, including
read/write access in the RDAC and EEMEM registers,
increment/decrement of resistance, resistance changes in ±6 dB
scales, wiper setting readback, and extra EEMEM for storing
user-defined information, such as memory data for other
components or a lookup table.
The
AD5142A
supports a dual-supply ±2.25 V to ±2.75 V operation
and a single-supply 2.3 V to 5.5 V operation, making the device
suitable for battery-powered applications and many other appli-
cations. In addition, the
serial interface that operates in fast mode, allowing speeds of up to
400 kbps and supporting the selection of up to nine different I
addresses. The
or dual-supply mode and incorporates an internal power supply
from the USB.
Complete specifications for the
AD5142A
data sheet, which is available from Analog Devices, Inc.,
and should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide
when using the evaluation board.

    However, by using the R34 and R35 external resistors, the user can reduce the voltage of the voltage references. In this case, use EVAL-AD5142ADBZ and EVAL-MB-LV-SDZ incorporate the A1 and B1 test points to measure the voltage applied to the several test circuits to evaluate the performance of the AD5142A.
