The AD5220 provides a single channel, 128-position digitally
controlled variable resistor (VR) device. This device performs
the same electronic adjustment function as a potentiometer or
variable resistor. These products were optimized for instrument
and test equipment push-button applications. A choice between
bandwidth or power dissipation are available as a result of the
wide selection of end-to-end terminal resistance values.
The AD5220 contains a fixed resistor with a wiper contact that
taps the fixed resistor value at a point determined by a digitally
controlled UP/DOWN counter. The resistance between the
wiper and either end point of the fixed resistor provides a con-
stant resistance step size that is equal to the end-to-end resis-
tance divided by the number of positions (e.g., R
STEP
= 10 kΩ/
128 = 78
Ω).
The variable resistor offers a true adjustable value
of resistance, between the A terminal and the wiper, or the B
terminal and the wiper. The fixed A-to-B terminal resistance of
10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, or 100 kΩ has a nominal temperature coefficient
of 800 ppm/°C.
The chip select
CS,
count CLK and U/D direction control
inputs set the variable resistor position. These inputs that con-
trol the internal UP/DOWN counter can be easily generated
with mechanical or push button switches (or other contact closure
devices). External debounce circuitry is required for the nega-
tive-edge sensitive CLK pin. This simple digital interface elimi-
nates the need for microcontrollers in front panel interface designs.
The AD5220 is available in both surface mount (SO-8) and the
8-lead plastic DIP package. For ultracompact solutions selected
models are available in the thin
µSOIC
package. All parts are
guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial temperature
range of –40°C to +85°C. For 3-wire, SPI compatible inter-
face applications, see the AD7376/AD8400/AD8402/AD8403
products.

Resistor position nonlinearity error R-INL is the deviation from an ideal value measured between the maximum resistance and the minimum resistance wiper
positions. R-DNL measures the relative step change from ideal between successive tap positions. Parts are guaranteed monotonic. See Figure 29 test circuit.

INL and DNL are measured at V

with the RDAC configured as a potentiometer divider similar to a voltage output D/A converter. V
A
= V
DD
and V
B
= 0 V.
DNL specification limits of
±
1 LSB maximum are guaranteed monotonic operating conditions. See Figure 28 test circuit.

Resistor terminals A, B, W have no limitations on polarity with respect to each other.

is calculated from (I

). CMOS logic level inputs result in minimum power dissipation.
7
Bandwidth, noise and settling time are dependent on the terminal resistance value chosen. The lowest R value results in the fastest settling time and highest band-
width. The highest R value results in the minimum overall power consumption.
8
All dynamic characteristics use V
DD
= +5 V.
9
See timing diagrams for location of measured values. All input control voltages are specified with t
R
= t
F
= 1 ns (10% to 90% of V

) and timed from a voltage level
of 1.6 V. Switching characteristics are measured using both V

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD5220 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
