GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5162 provides a compact 3 mm × 4.9 mm packaged
solution for dual 256-position adjustment applications. This
device performs the same electronic adjustment function as a
3-terminal mechanical potentiometer. Available in four different
end-to-end resistance values (2.5 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, 100 kΩ),
this low temperature coefficient device is ideal for high accu-
racy and stability variable resistance adjustments. The wiper
settings are controllable through an SPI digital interface. The
resistance between the wiper and either endpoint of the fixed
resistor varies linearly with respect to the digital code
transferred into the RDAC¹ latch.

Operating from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V power supply and consuming
less than 6 µA allows the AD5162 to be used in portable
battery-operated applications.
For applications that program the AD5162 at the factory,
Analog Devices offers device programming software running
on Windows® NT/2000/XP operating systems. This software
effectively replaces any external SPI controllers, which in turn
enhances users’ systems time-to-market. An AD5162 evaluation
kit and software are available. The kit includes a cable and
instruction manual.
