GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5263 is the industry first quad channel, 256 position,
digital potentiometer1 selectable digital interface. These devices
perform the same electronic adjustment function as mechanical
potentiometers or variable resistor with enhanced resolution, solid-
state reliability, and superior low temperature coefficient
performance. Each Channel of the AD5263 contains a fixed resistor
with a wiper contact that taps the fixed resistor value at a point
determined by a digital code loaded into the 3 wire SPI or 2-wire
I2C compatible serial-input register. The resistance between the
wiper and either end point of the fixed resistor varies linearly with
respect to the digital code transferred into the RDAC latch1. The
variable resistor 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 20k, 50k or
200kΩ has a nominal temperature coefficient of 50 ppm/°C. Unlike
majority of the digital potentiometers in the market, these devices
can operate up to 15V or ±5V provided proper supply voltages are
furnished.

The AD5263 are available in thin narrow body TSSOP-24. All
parts are guaranteed to operate over the extended automotive
temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
