AD5172 AD5173 256-Position One-Time Programmable Dual-Channel I 2 C Digital Potentiometers Data Sheet Owner's Manual

Summary

The AD5172/AD5173 are high-resolution, dual-channel One-Time Programmable (OTP) digital potentiometers designed as a reliable, cost-effective replacement for mechanical trimmers and EEMEM. Featuring a unique temporary overwrite capability, they allow engineers to cycle through adjustments multiple times before permanent factory setting. This manual details the device's electrical characteristics, layout guidelines, and uses specialized software instructions for initial programming. Ideal for industrial, automotive, and calibration systems requiring precise sensor adjustment or electronics level setting across wide temperature ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating temperature range for this device?

It supports a wide operating temperature from –40°C to +125°C.

Is the AD5173 permanently set after initial programming?

The OTP setting that occurs during activation freezes the wiper position, similar to placing epoxy on a mechanical trimmer.

How are these digital potentiometers programmed for factory use?

Analog Devices provides device programming software that is compatible with a 2-wire, I²C digital interface and runs on Windows® NT®, 2000, and XP® operating systems.
