Evaluation Board User Guide

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This user guide describes the evaluation board for evaluating the
AD5254—a quad-channel, 256-position, nonvolatile memory
digital potentiometer. With versatile programmability, the AD5254
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 read-
back, and extra EEMEM for storing user-defined information,
such as memory data for other components or a lookup table.
The AD5254 supports a dual-supply ±2.25 V to ±2.75 V operation
and a single-supply 2.7 V to 5.5 V operation, making the device
suited for battery-powered applications and many other appli-
cations. In addition, the AD5254 uses a versatile I
interface that operates in fast mode, allowing speeds of up to
400 kbps and supporting the selection of up to four different I
addresses.
The EVAL-AD5254SDZ can operate in single-supply and dual-
supply mode and incorporates an internal power supply from
the USB.
Complete specifications for the AD5254 part can be found in
the
AD5254
data sheet, which is available from Analog Devices,
Inc., and should be consulted in conjunction with this user
guide when using the evaluation board.

    After installation is completed, power up the evaluation board as described in the Power Supplies section. Plug the EVAL-AD5254SDZ into the SDP board and the SDP board into the PC using the USB cable included in the box. When the software detects the evaluation board, follow the instructions that appear to finalize the installation.
