GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5255 provides dual 512-position and a single
128-position digitally controlled variable resistors¹ (VR) in a
TSSOP package. This device performs the same electronic
adjustment function as a potentiometer, trimmer, or variable
resistor. Each VR offers a completely programmable 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
25 kΩ or 250 kΩ has a 1% channel-to-channel matching
tolerance and a nominal temperature coefficient of 35 ppm/°C.
Wiper position programming, EEPROM² reading, and EEPROM
writing is conducted via the standard 2-wire I²C interface. Pre-
vious/default wiper position settings can be stored in memory,
and refreshed upon system power-up.

Additional features of the AD5255 include preprogrammed
linear and logarithmic increment/decrement wiper changing.
The actual resistor tolerances are stored in EEPROM so that the
actual end-to-end resistance is known, which is valuable for
calibration in precision applications.
The AD5255 is available in a 24-lead TSSOP package. All parts
are guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial tempera-
ture range of −40°C to +85°C.
