The linear gain setting mode allows independent programming
of the resistance between the digital potentiometer terminals,
through the RAW and RWB string resistors, allowing very accurate
resistor matching.

1 Two potentiometers and two rheostats.
The low wiper resistance of only 40 Ω at the ends of the resistor
array allows for pin-to-pin connection.
The wiper values can be set through an SPI-compatible digital
interface that is also used to read back the wiper register and
EEPROM contents.
The AD5122/AD5142 is available in a compact, 16-lead, 3 mm ×
3 mm LFCSP and a 16-lead TSSOP. The parts are guaranteed to
operate over the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C
to +125°C.
