The AD5290 is one of the few high voltage, high performance,
2, 3
and compact digital potentiometers
in the market at present.
This device can be used as a programmable resistor or resistor
divider. The AD5290 performs the same electronic adjustment
function as mechanical potentiometers, variable resistors, and
trimmers, with enhanced resolution, solid-state reliability, and
superior temperature stability.
With digital rather than manual control, the AD5290 provides
la
yout flexibility and allows closed-loop dynamic controllability.
The AD5290 is available in MSOP-10 package and has 10 kΩ,
50 kΩ, a
nd 100 kΩ options. All parts are guaranteed to operate
over the –40°C to +125°C extended automotive temperature range.

iCMOS™ Process Technology. For analog systems designers who need high performance ICs at higher voltage levels, iCMOS is a technology platform that enables the
development of analog ICs capable of 30 V and operating at ±15 V supplies while allowing dramatic reductions in power consumption and package size, and
increased ac and dc performance.
2
The terms digital potentiometer and RDAC are used interchangeably.
3
The RDAC segmentation is protected by U.S. Patent Number 5,495,245.

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.

In order to achieve optimum cost performance, Analog Devices
has patented the RDAC segmentation architecture for all the
digital potentiometers. In particular, the AD5290 employs a
3-stage segmentation approach as shown in

temperature. Contrary to the temperature coefficient of the R
AB
which is only 35 ppm/°C, the temperature coefficient of the wiper
resistance is significantly higher because the wiper resistance
doubles from 25°C to 125°C. As a result, the user must take into
consideration the contribution of RW on the desirable
resistance. On the other hand, the wiper resistance is insensitive
to the tap point potential. As a result, RW remains relatively flat
at a given V
and temperature at various codes.

Assuming that an ideal 10 kΩ part is used, the wiper’s first
connection starts at the B terminal for the programming code
of 0x00 where SWB is closed. The minimum resistance between
Terminal W and Terminal B is, therefore, generally 150 Ω. The
second connection is the first tap point, which corresponds to

189 Ω (

+ 3RW = 39 Ω + 150 Ω) for code 0x01,
and so on. Each LSB data value increase moves the wiper up the
resistor ladder until the last tap point is reached at 10,110 Ω.
In the zero-scale condition, a finite total wiper resistance of
150 Ω is p
resent. Regardless of which setting the part is operating in, care should be taken to limit the current between
the A terminal to B terminal, W terminal to A terminal, and
W terminal to B terminal, to the maximum dc current of 5 mA
or pulse current of 20 mA. Otherwise, degradation, or possible
destruction of the internal switch contact, can occur.

PROGRAMMING THE POTENTIOMETER DIVIDER 3-WIRE SERIAL BUS DIGITAL INTERFACE
Voltage Output Operation
The digital potentiometer easily generates a voltage divider
at wiper to B and wiper to A proportional to the input voltage
at A to B. Unlike the polarity of V
to GND, which must be

either polarity.

Figure 28. Potentiometer Mode Configuration
The AD5290 contains a 3-wire digital interface (CS, CLK,
and SDI). The 8-bit serial word must be loaded MSB first.
The format of the word is shown in
Tabl e 4. The positive edge
sensitive CLK input requires clean transitions to avoid clocking
incorrect data into the serial input register. Standard logic fami-
CS
lies work well. When
is low, the clock loads data into the
serial register on each positive clock edge.
The data setup and data hold times in the Specifications section
ermine the valid timing requirements. The AD5290 uses an
det
8-bit serial input data register word that is transferred to the
CS
internal RDAC register when the
line returns to logic high.
Extra MSB bits are ignored.
If ignoring the effect of the wiper resistance for simplicity, connecting the A terminal to 30 V and the B terminal to ground
produces an output voltage at the Wiper W to Terminal B
ranging from 0 V to 1 LSB less than 30 V. Each LSB of voltage
is equal to the voltage applied across Terminal A and Terminal B,
divided by the 256 positions of the potentiometer divider. The
general equation defining the output voltage at V
with respect

Terminal B is

Operation of the digital potentiometer in the divider mode
sults in a more accurate operation over temperature. Unlike
re
the rheostat mode, the output voltage is dependent mainly on
the ratio of the internal resistors R
and R
WAWB
and not the
absolute values. Therefore, the temperature drift reduces to
5 ppm/°C.
DAISY CHAIN OPERATION
SDO shifts out the SDI content in the previous frame; thus it
can be used for daisy-chaining multiple devices. The SDO pin
contains an open drain N-Ch MOSFET and requires a pullup resistor if the SDO function is used. Users need to tie the
SDO pin of one package to the SDI pin of the next package.
Users may need to increase the clock period because the pull-up
resistor and the capacitive loading at the SDO to SDI interface
can induce time delay to the subsequent devices.
For example, in Figure 29, if two AD5290s are daisy-chained, a
t
otal of 16 bits of data are required for each operation. The first
set of eight bits goes to U2, and the second set of eight bits goes

TERMINAL VOLTAGE OPERATING RANGE
The AD5290 VDD and VSS power supplies define the boundary
conditions for proper 3-terminal digital potentiometer operation. The AD5290 can operate in single supply from +4.5 V to
+33 V or dual supply from ±4.5 V to ±16.5 V. The AD5290 is
functional at low supply voltages such as 4.5 V, but the
performance parameters are not guaranteed.

LAYOUT AND POWER SUPPLY BIASING
It is good practice to use a compact, minimum lead-length
layout design. The leads to the input should be as direct as
possible, with a minimum conductor length. Ground paths
should have low resistance and low inductance.
Similarly, it is also good practice to bypass the power supplies
th quality capacitors. Low equivalent series resistance (ESR),
wi
1 μF to 10 μF tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, should be
applied at the supplies to minimize any transient disturbance
and to filter low frequency ripple. Figure 32 illustrates the basic
upply-bypassing configuration for the AD5290.

Because of its good THD performance and high voltage
ca
pability, AD5290 can be used as a digital volume control.
If AD5290 is used directly as an audio attenuator or gain
amplifier, a large step change in the volume level at any arbitrary time can lead to an abrupt discontinuity of the audio
signal causing an audible zipper noise. To prevent this, a zerocrossing window detector can be inserted to the
delay the device update until the audio signal crosses the
window. Since the input signal can operate on top of any
dc level rather than absolute zero volt level, zero-crossing in this
case means the signal is ac-coupled, and the dc offset level is the
signal zero reference point.
results of using this configuration are shown in Figure 36. The
i
nput is ac-coupled by C1 and attenuated down before feeding
into the window comparator formed by U
is used to establish the signal zero reference. The upper limit

6
of the comparator is set above its offset and, therefore, the
output pulses high whenever the input falls between 2.502 V
and 2.497 V (or 0.005 V window) in this example. This output
is AND’ed with the chip select signal such that the AD5290
updates whenever the signal crosses the window. To avoid a
constant update of the device, the chip select signal should be
programmed as two pulses, rather than as one shown in Figure 36.
In Figure 35, the lower trace shows that the volume level changes
