GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5175 is a single-channel, 1024-position digital rheostat
that combines industry leading variable resistor performance
with nonvolatile memory (NVM) in a compact package.
voltage supply to facilitate fuse blow and there are 50 oppor-
tunities for permanent programming. During 50-TP activation,
a permanent blow fuse command freezes the resistance position
(analogous to placing epoxy on a mechanical rheostat).
This device supports both dual-supply operation at 2.5 V to
2.75 V and single-supply operation at 2.7 V to 5.5 V, and offers
50-times programmable (50-TP) memory.
The AD5175 is available in a 3 mm × 3mm 10-lead LFCSP
package and in a 10-lead MSOP package. The part is guaranteed
to operate over the extended industrial temperature range of
−40°C to +125°C.
The AD5175 device wiper settings are controllable through the
I2C–compatible digital interface. Unlimited adjustments are
allowed before programming the resistance value into the
50-TP memory. The AD5175 does not require any external
