multiple modes of operation and adjustment. In the direct program mode a predetermined setting of the RDAC register can be loaded directly from the microcontroller. Another key mode of operation allows the RDAC register to be refreshed with the setting previously stored in the EEMEM register. When changes are made to the RDAC register to estab- lish a new wiper position, the value of the setting can be saved into the EEMEM by executing an EEMEM save operation. Once the settings are saved in the EEMEM register these values will be automatically transferred to the RDAC register to set the wiper position at system power ON. Such operation is enabled by the internal preset strobe and the preset can also be accessed externally.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AD5232 retain settings after power cycling?
It uses nonvolatile EEMEM memory; saving a new wiper position into EEMEM ensures that value automatically restores upon system power ON.
What operational modes can the device support?
It can function as a potentiometer, variable resistor (VR), or be used for programming programmable filters and time constants.
How are settings adjusted and controlled by a microcontroller?
Programming is achieved via SPI-compatible serial data input, allowing control in direct program mode using microcontrollers.
What is the guaranteed industrial temperature range?
The AD5232 is guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.
