GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5235 provides a dual channel, digitally controlled variable
resistor (VR) with resolutions of 1024 positions. These devices
perform the same electronic adjustment function as a potentiometer or
variable resistor. The AD5235’s versatile programming via a Micro
Controller allows multiple modes of operation and adjustment.
In the direct program mode a predetermined setting of the RDAC
register can be loaded directly from the micro controller. Another key
mode of operation allows the RDAC register to be refreshed with the
setting previously stored in the EEMEM register. When changes are
made to the RDAC register to establish a new wiper position, the
value of the setting can be saved into the EEMEM by executing an
EEMEM save operation. Once the settings are saved in the EEMEM
register, these values will be transferred automatically to the RDAC
register to set the wiper position at system power ON. Such operation
is enabled by the internal preset strobe and the preset can also be
accessed externally.
An internal scratch pad RDAC register can be programmed by the
micro controller to set the resistance between terminals W-and-B.
Once the target value is achieved, the RDAC content register can be
placed in the non-volatile memory for automatic recall during Power
Up.
The AD5235 is available in the thin TSSOP-16 package. All parts are
guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial temperature range
of -40°C to +85°C.
