and High Endurance EEPROM
1 General Description
The AS1507 is a linear, dual 256-tap digital potentiome-
ter specifically designed to replace discrete/mechanical
potentiometers and is ideal for applications requiring a
low-temperature-coefficient variable resistor.
The device is controlled via a 3-wire SPI-compatible
interface and features an internal EEPROM for storing
wiper positions.
Several device variants are available differentiated by
end-to-end resistance as shown in
Table 1
(see also
Ordering Information on page 17).

The 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface allows com-
munication at data rates up to 5MHz. The internal
EEPROM stores the last wiper position for initialization
during power-up.
The devices are available in an TQFN 3x3mm 16-pin
package.

1. The programming current operates only during power-up and non-volatile memory writes.
2. DNL and INL are measured with the potentiometer configured as a voltage-divider with HIGH = V
DD
and LOW =
GND. The wiper terminal is unloaded and measured with a high-input-impedance voltmeter.
3. DNL and INL are measured with the potentiometer configured as a variable resistor. HIGH is unconnected and
LOW = GND. For the 5V condition, the wiper terminal is driven with a source current of 400µA @ 10kΩ, 80µA @
50kΩ, 40µA @ 100kΩ. In 3V conditions, the wiper terminal is driven with a source current of 200µA @ 10kΩ,
40µA @ 50kΩ, 20µA @ 100kΩ.
4. The wiper resistance is measured using the source currents given in Note 3. The number is the worst case
resistance over TAP positions.
5. The device draws higher supply current when the digital inputs are driven with voltages between (V
DD
- 0.5V)
and (GND + 0.5V).
6. Wiper at midscale with a 10pF load (DC measurement) V
DD
= 5V, LOW = GND. An AC source (5V peak to peak
sinus signal) is applied to HIGH and the WIPER output is measured. A 3dB bandwidth occurs when the AC
WIPER/HIGH value is 3dB lower than the DC WIPER/HIGH value.
7. Wiper-settling time is the worst-case 0 to 50% rise-time measured between successive wiper positions. HIGH =
V
DD
, LOW = GND; WIPER is unloaded and measured with a 10pF load.
8. This parameter is not tested but ensured by characterization.
Note:
All limits are guaranteed. The parameters with min and max values are guaranteed with production tests or
SQC (Statistical Quality Control) methods.
