The AD5270/AD5271 device wiper settings are controllable
through the SPI digital interface. Unlimited adjustments are
allowed before programming the resistance value into the
50-TP memory. The AD5270/AD5271 do not require any
external voltage supply to facilitate fuse blow and there are
50 opportunities for permanent programming. During 50-TP
activation, a permanent blow fuse command freezes the resistance
position (analogous to placing epoxy on a mechanical trimmer).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5270/AD52711 are single-channel, 1024-/256-position
digital rheostats that combine industry leading variable resistor
performance with nonvolatile memory (NVM) in a compact
package.
The AD5270/AD5271 ensure less than 1% end-to-end resistor
tolerance error and offer 50-times programmable (50-TP) memory.
The guaranteed industry leading low resistor tolerance error
feature simplifies open-loop applications as well as precision
calibration and tolerance matching applications.
The AD5270/AD5271 are available in a 3 mm × 3 mm, 10-lead
LFCSP package and in a 10-lead MSOP package. The parts are
guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial temperature
range of −40°C to +125°C.
