GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5232 device provides a nonvolatile, dual-channel,
digitally controlled variable resistor (VR) with 256-position
resolution. This device performs the same electronic adjustment
function as a mechanical potentiometer with enhanced resolution,
solid state reliability, and superior low temperature coefficient
performance. The versatile programming of the AD5232, per-
ormed via a microcontroller, allows multiple modes of operation
and adjustment.
All internal register contents can be read via the serial data
output (SDO). This includes the RDAC1 and RDAC2 registers,
the corresponding nonvolatile EEMEM1 and EEMEM2 registers,
and the 14 spare USER EEMEM registers that are available for
constant storage.
The basic mode of adjustment is the increment and decrement
command instructions that control the wiper position setting
register (RDACx). An internal scratch pad RDACx register can
be moved up or down one step of the nominal resistance between
Terminal A and Terminal B. This step adjustment linearly changes
the wiper to Terminal B resistance (RWB) by one position segment
of the device’s end-to-end resistance (RAB). For exponential/
logarithmic changes in wiper setting, a left/right shift command
instruction adjusts the levels in 6 dB steps, which can be useful
for audio and light alarm applications.
In the direct program mode, a predetermined setting of the RDAC
registers (RDAC1 and RDAC2) can be loaded directly from the
microcontroller. Another important mode of operation allows
the RDACx register to be refreshed with the setting previously
stored in the corresponding EEMEM register (EEMEM1 and
EEMEM2). When changes are made to the RDACx register to
establish a new wiper position, the value of the setting can be
saved into the EEMEMx register by executing an EEMEM save
operation. After the settings are saved in the EEMEMx register,
these values are automatically transferred to the RDACx register
to set the wiper position at system power-on. Such operation is
enabled by the internal preset strobe. The preset strobe can also
be accessed externally.
The AD5232 is available in a thin, 16-lead TSSOP package.
All parts are guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial
temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. An evaluation board, the
EVAL-AD5232-10EBZ, is available.

1 Typical parameters represent average readings at 25°C and VDD = 5 V.
2 Resistor position nonlinearity (R-INL) error is the deviation from an ideal value measured between the maximum resistance and the minimum resistance wiper
positions. R-DNL measures the relative step change from ideal between successive tap positions. Parts are guaranteed monotonic. IW ~ 50 µA @ VDD = 2.7 V and IW
400 µA @ VDD = 5 V for the RAB = 10 kΩ version, IW ~ 50 µA for the RAB = 50 kΩ version, and IW ~ 25 µA for the RAB = 100 kΩ version (see Figure 22).
~
3 INL and DNL are measured at VW with the RDACx configured as a potentiometer divider similar to a voltage output digital-to-analog converter. VA = VDD and VB = VSS
DNL specification limits of 1 LSB maximum are guaranteed monotonic operating conditions (see Figure 23).
4 The A, B, and W resistor terminals have no limitations on polarity with respect to each other. Dual supply operation enables ground-referenced bipolar signal
adjustment.
.
5 Guaranteed by design; not subject to production test.
6 Common-mode leakage current is a measure of the dc leakage from any A, B, or W terminal to a common-mode bias level of VDD/2.
7 Transfer (XFR) mode current is not continuous. Current is consumed while the EEMEMx locations are read and transferred to the RDACx register (see Figure 13).
8 PDISS is calculated from (IDD × VDD) + (ISS × VSS).
9 All dynamic characteristics use VDD = +2.5 V and VSS = −2.5 V, unless otherwise noted.
10 Endurance is qualified to 100,000 cycles per JEDEC Std. 22, Method A117 and measured at −40°C, +25°C, and +85°C. Typical endurance at +25°C is 700,000 cycles.
11
The retention lifetime equivalent at junction temperature (TJ) = 55°C, as per JEDEC Std. 22, Method A117. Retention lifetime, based on an activation energy of 0.6 eV,
derates with junction temperature as shown in Figure 44 in the Flash/EEMEM Reliability section. The AD5232 contains 9,646 transistors. Die size = 69 mil × 115 mil,
7,993 sq. mil.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5232 digital potentiometer is designed to operate as a
true variable resistor replacement device for analog signals that
The application programming example shown in Table 6 lists
two digital potentiometers set to independent data values. The
wiper positions are then saved in the corresponding nonvolatile
EEMEMx registers.
remain within the terminal voltage range of VSS < VTERM < VDD
.
The basic voltage range is limited to a |VDD − VSS| < 5.5 V. The
digital potentiometer wiper position is determined by the RDACx
register contents. The RDACx register acts as a scratch pad register,
allowing as many value changes as necessary to place the poten-
tiometer wiper in the correct position. The scratch pad register
can be programmed with any position value using the standard
SPI serial interface mode by loading the complete representative
data-word. When a desirable position is found, this value can be
saved into a corresponding EEMEMx register. Thereafter, the wiper
position is always set at that position for any future on-off-on
power supply sequence. The EEMEM save process takes approx-
imately 25 ms. During this time, the shift register is locked,
preventing any changes from taking place. The RDY pin indicates
the completion of this EEMEM save.

Note that the
pulse first sets the wiper at midscale when it is
brought to Logic 0. Then, on the positive transition to logic high,
it reloads the DAC wiper register with the contents of EEMEMx.
Many additional advanced programming commands are avail-
able to simplify the variable resistor adjustment process.
SCRATCH PAD AND EEMEM PROGRAMMING
The scratch pad register (RDACx register) directly controls the
position of the digital potentiometer wiper. When the scratch
pad register is loaded with all 0s, the wiper is connected to
Terminal B of the variable resistor. When the scratch pad register
is loaded with midscale code (1/2 of full-scale position), the wiper
is connected to the middle of the variable resistor. When the
scratch pad is loaded with full-scale code, which is all 1s, the
wiper connects to Terminal A. Because the scratch pad register
is a standard logic register, there is no restriction on the number
of changes allowed. The EEMEMx registers have a program
erase/write cycle limitation that is described in the Flash/EEMEM
Reliability section.
For example, the wiper position can be changed, one step at
a time, by using the software controlled increment/decrement
command instructions. The wiper position can be also be changed,
6 dB at a time, by using the shift left/right command instructions.
After an increment, decrement, or shift command instruction is
CS
loaded into the shift register, subsequent
strobes repeat this
command instruction. This is useful for push-button control appli-
cations (see the Advanced Control Modes section). The SDO pin
is available for daisy chaining and for readout of the internal
register contents. The serial input data register uses a 16-bit
instruction/address/data-word.
BASIC OPERATION
The basic mode of setting the variable resistor wiper position
(by programming the scratch pad register) is accomplished by
loading the serial data input register with Command Instruc-
tion 11, which includes the desired wiper position data. When
the desired wiper position is found, the user loads the serial
data input register with Command Instruction 2, which copies
the desired wiper position data into the corresponding non-
volatile EEMEMx register. After 25 ms, the wiper position is
permanently stored in the corresponding nonvolatile EEMEM
location. Table 6 provides an application programming example
listing the sequence of serial data input (SDI) words and the
corresponding serial data output appearing at the serial data
output (SDO) pin in hexadecimal format.
EEMEM PROTECTION

Command 8 and . Therefore, the
pin provides a hardware
EEMEM protection feature. Execute an NOP command (Com-

DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
All digital inputs are ESD protected, high input impedance that
can be driven directly from most digital sources. The
pins, which are active at logic low, must be biased to VDD if they
are not being used. No internal pull-up resistors are present on
any digital input pins.

At system power-on, the scratch pad register is refreshed with
the last value saved in the EEMEMx register. The factory preset
EEMEM value is midscale. The scratch pad (wiper) register can
be refreshed with the current contents of the nonvolatile EEMEMx
The SDO and RDY pins are open-drain, digital outputs when pull-
up resistors are needed, but only if these functions are in use.
A resistor value in the range of 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ optimizes the power
and switching speed trade-off.

determine which register is activated. The data bits (Dx) are the
values that are loaded into the decoded register. Table 9 provides
an address map of the EEMEM locations. The last command
instruction executed prior to a period of no programming activity
should be the no operation (NOP) command instruction (Com-
mand Instruction 0). This instruction places the internal logic

PULL-UP
The SDO pin serves two purposes: it can be used to read back
the contents of the wiper setting and the EEMEM using Command
Instruction 9 and Command Instruction 10 (see Table 8), or it can
be used for daisy-chaining multiple devices.The remaining com-
mand instructions are valid for daisy-chaining multiple devices in
simultaneous operations. Daisy chaining minimizes the number
of port pins required from the controlling IC (see Figure 36).
The SDO pin contains an open-drain N-channel FET that requires
a pull-up resistor if this function is used. As shown in Figure 36,
users must 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 may require additional time delay between subsequent
packages. If two AD5232s are daisy-chained, 32 bits of data are
required. The first 16 bits go to U2, and the second 16 bits with
the same format go to U1. The 16 bits are formatted to contain
the 4-bit instruction, followed by the 4-bit address, followed by

Command bits are identified as Cx, address bits are Ax, and
data bits are Dx. The command instruction codes are defined
in Table 8. The SDO output shifts out the last eight bits of data
clocked into the serial register for daisy-chain operation, with
the following exception: after Command Instruction 9 or Com-
mand Instruction 10, the selected internal register data is present
in Data Byte 0. The command instructions following Command
Instruction 9 and Command Instruction 10 must be full 16-bit
data-words to completely clock out the contents of the serial
register. The RDACx register is a volatile scratch pad register
that is refreshed at power-on from the corresponding nonvol-
atile EEMEMx register. The increment, decrement, and shift
command instructions ignore the contents of Data Byte 0 in the
shift register. Execution of the operation noted in Table 8 occurs

when the
strobe returns to logic high. Execution of an NOP
instruction minimizes power dissipation.

ADVANCED CONTROL MODES
The AD5232 digital potentiometer contains a set of user program-
ming features to address the wide variety of applications avail-
able to these universal adjustment devices. Key programming
features include the following:
Figure 37 illustrates the operation of the 6 dB shifting function
on the individual RDACx register data bits for the 8-bit AD5232
example. Each line going down the table represents a successive
shift operation. Note that the Left Shift 12 and Left Shift 13 com-
mand instructions were modified so that if the data in the RDACx
register is equal to 0 and is left shifted, it is then set to Code 1.

In addition, the left shift commands were modified so that if the
data in the RDAC register is greater than or equal to midscale and
is left shifted, the data is then set to full scale. This makes the left
shift function as close to ideally logarithmic as possible.
The Right Shift 4 and Right Shift 5 command instructions are
ideal only if the LSB is 0 (that is, ideal logarithmic, with no error).
If the LSB is a 1, the right shift function generates a linear half-
LSB error that translates to a code-dependent logarithmic error
for odd codes only, as shown in Figure 38. The plot shows the
errors of the odd codes.

The increment and decrement command instructions (Command
Instruction 14, Command Instruction 15, Command Instruction 6,
and Command Instruction 7) are useful for the basic servo adjust-
ment application. These commands simplify microcontroller
software coding by eliminating the need to perform a readback
of the current wiper position and then add a 1 to the register
contents using the microcontroller adder. The microcontroller
sends an increment command instruction (Command Instruc-
tion 14) to the digital potentiometer, which automatically moves
the wiper to the next resistance segment position. The master
increment command instruction (Command Instruction 15)
moves all potentiometer wipers by one position from their present
position to the next resistor segment position. The direction of
movement is referenced to Terminal B. Thus, each Command
Instruction 15 moves the wiper tap position farther from
Terminal B.

Actual conformance to a logarithmic curve between the data
contents in the RDACx register and the wiper position for each
Right Shift 4 and Right Shift 5 command execution contains an
error only for the odd codes. The even codes are ideal, with the
exception of zero right shift or greater than half-scale left shift.
Figure 38 shows plots of Log_Error, that is, 20 × log10
(error/code). For example, Code 3 Log_Error = 20 × log10 (0.5/3)
= −15.56 dB, which is the worst case. The plot of Log_Error is
more signifi-cant at the lower codes.

Programming instructions allow decrement and increment wiper
position control by an individual potentiometer or in a ganged
potentiometer arrangement, where both wiper positions are
changed at the same time. These settings are activated by the
6 dB decrement and 6 dB increment command instructions
(Command Instruction 4 and Command Instruction 5, and
Command Instruction 12 and Command Instruction 13,
respectively). For example, starting with the wiper connected
to Terminal B, executing nine increment instructions (Command
Instruction 12) moves the wiper in 6 dB steps from the 0% of the

•
RDAC data stored in EEMEM locations are transferred to
their corresponding RDACx register at power-on or when
Command Instruction 1 and Command Instruction 8 are
executed.
USERx refers to internal nonvolatile EEMEM registers that are
available to store and retrieve constants by using Command
Instruction 3 and Command Instruction 9, respectively.
The EEMEM locations are one byte each (eight bits).
Execution of Command Instruction 1 leaves the device in
the read mode power consumption state. When the final
Command Instruction 1 is executed, the user should perform
an NOP (Command Instruction 0) to return the device to
the low power idle state.

DETAILED POTENTIOMETER OPERATION
The actual structure of the RDACx is designed to emulate the
performance of a mechanical potentiometer. The RDACx contains
multiple strings of connected resistor segments, with an array of
analog switches that act as the wiper connection to several points
along the resistor array. The number of points is equal to the
resolution of the device. For example, the AD5232 has 256 con-
nection points, allowing it to provide better than 0.5% setability
resolution. Figure 40 provides an equivalent diagram of the con-
nections between the three terminals that make up one channel of
the RDACx. The SWA and SWB switches are always on, whereas
only one of the SW(0) to SW(2N–1) switches is on at a time,
depending on the resistance step decoded from the data bits. The
resistance contributed by RW must be accounted for in the output
resistance.

PROGRAMMING THE VARIABLE RESISTOR
Rheostat Operation
The nominal resistances of the RDACx between Terminal A and
Terminal B are available with values of 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, and 100 kΩ.
The final digits of the part number determine the nominal
resistance value; for example, 10 kΩ = 10; 100 kΩ = 100. The
nominal resistance (RAB) of the AD5232 VR has 256 contact
points accessed by Wiper Terminal W, plus the Terminal B contact.
The 8-bit data-word in the RDACx latch is decoded to select

present. Care should be taken to limit the current flow between Wx and Bx
in this state to a maximum continuous value of 2 mA to avoid degradation
or possible destruction of the internal switch metallization. Intermittent
current operation to 20 mA is allowed.
The multichannel AD5232 has a 0.2% typical distribution of
internal channel-to-channel RBA match. Device-to-device matching
is dependent on process lot and exhibits a −40% to +20% variation.
The change in RBA with temperature has a 600 ppm/°C temperature
coefficient.
Like the mechanical potentiometer that the RDACx replaces,
the AD5232 parts are totally symmetrical. The resistance between
the Wiper Terminal W and Terminal A also produces a digitally
controlled resistance, RWA. Figure 41 shows the symmetrical
programmability of the various terminal connections.

The digital potentiometer easily generates an output voltage pro-
portional to the input voltage applied to a given terminal. For
example, connecting Terminal A to 5 V and Terminal B to GND
produces an output voltage at the wiper that can be any value
from 0 V to 5 V. Each LSB of voltage is equal to the voltage
applied across Terminal A to Terminal B, divided by the 2N
position resolution of the potentiometer divider. The general
equation defining the output voltage with respect to ground for
any given input voltage applied to Terminal A to Terminal B is

Operation of the digital potentiometer in the divider mode
results in more accurate operation over temperature. Here the
output voltage is dependent on the ratio of the internal resistors,
not the absolute value; therefore, the drift improves to 15 ppm/°C.
There is no voltage polarity restriction between Terminal A,
Terminal B, and Wiper Terminal W as long as the terminal voltage

APPLICATION PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES
OPERATION FROM DUAL SUPPLIES
The command sequence examples shown in Table 14 to Table 18
have been developed to illustrate a typical sequence of events
for the various features of the AD5232 nonvolatile digital poten-
tiometer. Table 14 illustrates setting two digital potentiometers
to independent data values.
The AD5232 can be operated from dual supplies, enabling
control of ground-referenced ac signals (see Figure 42 for
a typical circuit connection).

The internal parasitic capacitances and the external capacitive
loads dominate the ac characteristics of the RDACs. When
configured as a potentiometer divider, the −3 dB bandwidth of
the AD5232BRU10 (10 kΩ resistor) measures 500 kHz at half
scale. Figure 14 provides the large signal BODE plot character-

As indicated in the Specifications section, the AD5232 Flash/EE
memory endurance qualification has been carried out in accor-
dance with JEDEC Std. 22, Method A117 over the industrial
temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. The results allow the
specification of a minimum endurance figure over supply and
temperature of 100,000 cycles, with an endurance figure of
700,000 cycles being typical of operation at 25°C.

Retention quantifies the ability of the Flash/EE memory to retain
its programmed data over time. Again, the AD5232 has been
qualified in accordance with the formal JEDEC Retention
Lifetime Specification (A117) at a specific junction temperature of
TJ = 55°C. As part of this qualification procedure, the Flash/EE
memory is cycled to its specified endurance limit, as described
previously, before data retention is characterized. This means
that the Flash/EE memory is guaranteed to retain its data for
its full specified retention lifetime every time the Flash/EE
memory is repro-grammed. It should also be noted that
retention lifetime, based on an activation energy of 0.6 eV,
derates with TJ, as shown in Figure 44.

FLASH/EEMEM RELIABILITY
The Flash/EE memory array on the AD5232 is fully qualified
for two key Flash/EE memory characteristics: namely, Flash/EE
memory cycling endurance and Flash/EE memory data retention.
Endurance quantifies the ability of the Flash/EE memory to be
cycled through many program, read, and erase cycles. In real
terms, a single endurance cycle is composed of four independent,
sequential events. These events are defined as follows:
1. Initial page erase sequence
2. Read/verify sequence
3. Byte program sequence
4. Second read/verify sequence
