GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5293 is a single-channel, 1024-position digital poten-
tiometer1 with <1% end-to-end resistor tolerance error. The
AD5293 performs the same electronic adjustment function as a
mechanical potentiometer with enhanced resolution, solid state
reliability, and superior low temperature coefficient performance.
This device is capable of operating at high voltages and supporting
both dual-supply operation at 10.5 V to 15 V and single-supply
operation at 21 V to 30 V.
The AD5293 offers guaranteed industry-leading low resistor
tolerance errors of 1% with a nominal temperature coefficient
of 35 ppm/°C. The low resistor tolerance feature simplifies
open-loop applications as well as precision calibration and
tolerance matching applications.
The AD5293 is available in a compact 14-lead TSSOP package.
The part is guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial
temperature range of −40°C to +105°C.
1 In this data sheet, the terms digital potentiometer and RDAC are used inter-
changeably.
