Overview

Part: AD5161 — Analog Devices

Type: Digital Potentiometer

Description: A 256-position digital potentiometer with pin-selectable SPI/I2C compatible interface, offering end-to-end resistance options from 5 kΩ to 100 kΩ, operating from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply, and consuming less than 8 μA.

Operating Conditions:

  • Supply voltage: 2.7 V to 5.5 V
  • Operating temperature: -40°C to +125°C
  • Resolution: 8 Bits (256 positions)

Absolute Maximum Ratings:

  • Max supply voltage: +7 V (VDD to GND)
  • Max continuous current: ±20 mA (through A, B, W terminals)
  • Max junction temperature: 150°C
  • Max storage temperature: -65°C to +150°C

Key Specs:

  • End-to-end resistance options: 5 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, 100 kΩ
  • Supply Current (IDD): 3 μA (Typ), 8 μA (Max) at VDD = 5V
  • Shutdown Supply Current (IDD_SD): 0.01 μA (Typ), 1 μA (Max) at VDD = 5.5V
  • Resistance Temperature Coefficient (∆RAB/∆T): 45 ppm/°C
  • Wiper Resistance (RW): 50 Ω (Typ), 120 Ω (Max)
  • SPI Clock Frequency (fCLK): 25 MHz (Max)
  • I2C SCL Clock Frequency (fSCL): 400 kHz (Max)
  • Bandwidth -3dB (BW_5K): 1.2 MHz (Typ) for RAB = 5 kΩ, Code = 0x80

Features:

  • 256-position
  • Pin selectable SPI/I2C compatible interface
  • Extra package address decode pin AD0 for I2C
  • Full read/write of wiper register
  • Power-on preset to midscale
  • Low temperature coefficient 45 ppm/°C
  • SDO output allows multiple device daisy-chaining (SPI mode)

Applications:

  • Mechanical potentiometer replacement in new designs
  • Transducer adjustment of pressure, temperature, position, chemical, and optical sensors
  • RF amplifier biasing
  • Gain control and offset adjustment

Package:

  • MSOP-10 (3 mm × 4.9 mm)
