GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5122A/AD5142A potentiometers provide a nonvolatile
solution for 128-/256-position adjustment applications, offering
guaranteed low resistor tolerance errors of 8% and up to 6 mA
current density in the Ax, Bx, and Wx pins.

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

The high bandwidth and low total harmonic distortion (THD)
ensure optimal performance for ac signals, making it suitable

The low wiper resistance of only 40 Ω at the ends of the resistor
array allows for pin-to-pin connection.
1 Two potentiometers and two rheostats.
The wiper values can be set through an I2C-compatible digital
interface that is also used to read back the wiper register and
EEPROM contents.
The AD5122A/AD5142A are 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.
