GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5231 is a nonvolatile memory,1 digitally controlled
potentiometer
the same electronic adjustment function as a mechanical potentiometer with enhanced resolution, solid state reliability, and
remote controllability. The AD5231 has versatile programming
that uses a standard 3-wire serial interface for 16 modes of
operation and adjustment, including scratchpad programming,
memory storing and restoring, increment/decrement,
±6 dB/step log taper adjustment, wiper setting readback, and
extra EEMEM for user-defined information, such as memory
data for other components, look-up table, or system identification information.
In scratchpad programming mode, a specific setting can be
programmed directly to the RDAC2 register that sets the resistance between Terminals W–A and W–B. This setting can be
stored into the EEMEM and is transferred automatically to the
RDAC register during system power-on.

The EEMEM content can be restored dynamically or through
PR
external
strobing, and a WP function protects EEMEM contents. To simplify the programming, the linear-step increment
or decrement commands can be used to move the RDAC wiper
up or down, one step at a time. The ±6 dB step commands can
be used to double or half the RDAC wiper setting.
The AD5231 is available in a 16-lead TSSOP. The part is guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial temperature range
of −40°C to +85°C.

INL and DNL are measured at VW with the RDAC configured as a potentiometer divider similar to a voltage output DAC. VA = VDD and VB = VSS. DNL specification limits of
−1 LSB minimum are guaranteed monotonic operating condition (see Figure 27).

Resistor Terminals A, B, and W have no limitations on polarity with respect to each other. Dual-supply operation enables ground-referenced bipolar signal adjustment.

Common-mode leakage current is a measure of the dc leakage from any Terminal B–W to a common-mode bias level of VDD/2.

EEMEM restore mode current is not continuous. Current consumed while EEMEM locations are read and transferred to the RDAC register (see Figure 23). To minimize
power dissipation, a NOP Instruction 0 (0x0) should be issued immediately after Instruction 1 (0x1).

applied voltage across any two of the A, B, and W terminals at a given
resistance.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

3 SDI Serial Data Input Pin. Shifts in one bit at a time on positive clock CLK edges. MSB loaded first.
4 SDO Serial Data Output Pin. Serves readback and daisy-chain functions.
Commands 9 and 10 activate the SDO output for the readback function, delayed by 24 or 25 clock pulses,
depending on the clock polarity before and after the data-word (see Figure 3, Figure 4, and Table 7).
In other commands, the SDO shifts out the previously loaded SDI bit pattern, delayed by 24 or 25 clock pulses
depending on the clock polarity (see Figure 3 and Figure 4). This previously shifted-out SDI can be used for
daisy-chaining multiple devices.
Whenever SDO is used, a pull-up resistor in the range of 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ is needed.
