GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5172/AD5173 are dual-channel, 256-position, one-time
programmable (OTP) digital potentiometers
1
that employ fuse
link technology to achieve memory retention of resistance
settings. OTP is a cost-effective alternative to EEMEM for users
who do not need to program the digital potentiometer setting
in memory more than once. These devices perform the same
electronic adjustment function as mechanical potentiometers or
variable resistors but with enhanced resolution, solid-state reliability, and superior low temperature coefficient performance.
The AD5172/AD5173 are programmed using a 2-wire, I
2
C®-
compatible digital interface. Unlimited adjustments are allowed
1
The terms digital potentiometer, VR, and RDAC are used interchangeably.

before permanently setting the resistance value. During OTP
activation, a permanent blow fuse command freezes the wiper
position (analogous to placing epoxy on a mechanical trimmer).
Unlike traditional OTP digital potentiometers, the AD5172/
AD5173 have a unique temporary OTP overwrite feature that
allows for new adjustments even after a fuse is blown. However,
the OTP setting is restored during subsequent power-up conditions. This allows users to treat these digital potentiometers as
volatile potentiometers with a programmable preset.

The minimum voltage requirement on the VIH is 0.7 V × VDD. For example, VIH minimum = 3.5 V when VDD = 5 V. It is typical for the SCL and SDA resistors to be pulled up to VDD.
However, care must be taken to ensure that the minimum VIH is met when the SCL and SDA are driven directly from a low voltage logic controller without pull-up resistors.
