Digital Potentiometer

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This user guide describes the evaluation board for evaluating the
AD5144—a quad-channel, 256-position, nonvolatile memory,
digital potentiometer. With versatile programmability, the
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
AD5144
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

C or SPI serial interface. The
in single-supply or dual-supply mode and incorporates an internal
power supply from the USB.
