AS1507
Dual 256-Tap Digital Potentiometer with SPI Interface
and High Endurance EEPROM
1 General Description
2 Key Features
ꢀ
High Endurance: EEPROM up to 10M cycles
The AS1507 is a linear, dual 256-tap digital potentiome-
ter specifically designed to replace discrete/mechanical
potentiometers and is ideal for applications requiring a
low-temperature-coefficient variable resistor.
ꢀ
High Reliability: EEPROM up to 150 years data
retention @ 85°C
ꢀ
Wiper Position Retained in EEPROM and loaded at
Power-Up
The device is controlled via a 3-wire SPI-compatible
interface and features an internal EEPROM for storing
wiper positions.

TQFN 3x3mm 16-pin Package
100
The 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface allows com-
munication at data rates up to 5MHz. The internal
EEPROM stores the last wiper position for initialization
during power-up.
The devices are available in an TQFN 3x3mm 16-pin
package.
3 Applications
The device is ideal for mechanical potentiometer
replacement, low-drift programmable gain amplifiers,
audio volume control, LCD contrast control, and low-drift
programmable filters.
