AD5260 A1 W1 B1 A2 W2 B2 SHDN VDD VSS GENERAL DESCRIPTION Each VR has its own VR latch that holds its programmed resistance value. These VR latches are updated from an internal serial-to-parallel shift register, which is loaded from a standard 3-wire serial-input digital interface. The AD5260 contains an 8-bit serial register whereas the AD5262 contains a 9-bit serial register. Each bit is clocked into the register on the positive B SHDN CLK SDI RDAC1 REGISTER RDAC2 REGISTER VL CS POWER-ON RESET LOGIC PR 8 CLK SDI SERIAL INPUT REGISTER GND AD5262 SDO 02695-002 The AD5260/AD5262 provide a single- or dual-channel, 256position, digitally controlled variable resistor (VR) device. 1 These devices perform the same electronic adjustment function as a potentiometer or variable resistor. Each channel of the AD5260/AD5262 contains a fixed resistor with a wiper contact that taps the fixed resistor value at a point determined by a digital code loaded into the SPI-compatible serial-input register. The resistance between the wiper and either end point of the fixed resistor varies linearly with respect to the digital code transferred into the VR latch. The variable resistor offers a completely programmable value of resistance, between the A terminal and the wiper or the B terminal and the wiper. The fixed A-to-B terminal resistance of 20 , 50 , or 200 has a nominal temperature coefficient of 35 ppm/C. Unlike the majority of the digital potentiometers in the market, these devices can operate up to 15 V or 5 V provided proper supply voltages are furnished. W Figure 2. AD5262 edge of the CLK pin. The AD5262 address bit determines the corresponding VR latch to be loaded with the last eight bits of the data word during the positive edging of CS strobe. A serial data output pin at the opposite end of the serial register enables simple daisy-chaining in multiple VR applications without additional external decoding logic. An optional reset pin (PR) forces the wiper to the midscale position by loading 0x80 into the VR latch. The AD5260/AD5262 are available in thin surface-mount 14-lead TSSOP and 16-lead TSSOP packages. All parts are guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial temperature range of -40C to +85C. 1 The terms digital potentiometers, VR, and RDAC are used interchangeably. Rev.

Resistor position nonlinearity error (R-INL) 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 = VDD/R for both VDD = +5 V and VSS = -5V. 3 VAB = VDD, wiper = no connect. 4 INL and DNL are measured at VW with the RDAC configured as a potentiometer divider similar to a voltage output digital-to-analog converter. VA = VDD and VB = 0 V. DNL specification limits of 1 LSB maximum are guaranteed monotonic operating conditions. 5 Resistor Terminal A, Terminal B, and Terminal W have no limitations on polarity with respect to each other. 6 Guaranteed by design and not subject to production test. 7 Measured at the Ax terminals. All Ax terminals are open-circuit in shutdown mode. 8 Worst-case supply current consumed when all logic-input levels set at 2.4 V, which is the standard characteristic of CMOS logic. 9 PDISS is calculated from (IDD x VDD). CMOS logic level inputs result in minimum power dissipation. 10 All dynamic characteristics use VDD = +5 V, VSS = -5 V, VL = +5 V. 11 Measured at VW where an adjacent VW is making a full-scale voltage change. 12 See Figure 5 for location of measured values. All input control voltages are specified with tR = tF = 2 ns (10% to 90% of 3 V) and timed from a voltage level of 1.5 V. Switching characteristics are measured using VL = 5 V. 13 Propagation delay depends on value of VDD, RL, and CL. 2 Rev. A | Page 4 of 24 AD5260/AD5262 TIMING DIAGRAMS Table 2.

Changing the programmed VR settings is accomplished by clocking an 8-/9-bit serial data word into the SDI (serial data input) pin. For the AD5262, the format of this data word is one address bit. A0 represents the first bit, B8, followed by eight data bits, B7 to B0, with MSB first. Table 2 and Table 3 provide the serial register data word format. See Table 7 for the AD5262 address assignment to decode the location of the VR latch receiving the serial register data in Bit B7 through Bit B0. VR outputs can be changed one at a time in random sequence. The AD5260/AD5262 preset to a midscale, simplifying fault condition recovery at power-up. Midscale can also be achieved at any time by asserting the PR pin. Both parts have an internal power-on preset that places the wiper in a midscale preset condition at power-on. Operation of the poweron preset function depends only on the state of the VL pin.

AD5262 Block Diagram The AD5260/AD5262 contain a power shutdown SHDN pin that places the RDAC in an almost zero power consumption state where Terminals Ax are open circuited and the Wiper W is connected to B, resulting in only leakage currents being consumed in the VR structure. In the shutdown mode, the VR latch settings are maintained so that, when returning to operational mode from power shutdown, the VR settings return to their previous resistance values. The positive-edge sensitive CLK input requires clean transitions to avoid clocking incorrect data into the serial input register. Standard logic families work well. If mechanical switches are used for product evaluation, they should be debounced by a flip-flop or other suitable means. Figure 47 shows more detail of the internal digital circuitry. When CS is low, the clock loads data into the serial input register on each positive clock edge (see Table 8). Table 7. AD5262 Address Decode Table Table 8.

For the AD5260, the 8-bit serial word must be loaded with the MSB first. The format of the word is shown in Table 2. For the AD5262, the 9-bit serial word must be loaded with Address Bit A0 first, then the MSB of the data. The format of the word is shown in Table 3. 1 Register Activity No SR effect, enables SDO pin. Shift one bit in from the SDI pin. The eighth previously entered bit is shifted out of the SDO pin.

The data setup and data hold times in Table 1 determine the data valid time requirements. The AD5260 uses an 8-bit serial input data register word that is transferred to the internal RDAC register when the CS line returns to logic high. For the AD5262, the last nine bits of the data word entered into the serial register are held when CS returns high. Any extra bits are ignored. At the same time CS goes high, it gates the address decoder, enabling one of two positive edge-triggered AD5262 RDAC latches (see Figure 48). Rev.

Daisy-Chain Configuration RDAC STRUCTURE The RDAC contains a string of equal resistor segments with an array of analog switches that act as the wiper connection. The number of positions is the resolution of the device. The AD5260/ AD5262 have 256 connection points, allowing it to provide better than 0.4% settability resolution. Figure 53 shows an equivalent structure of the connections between the three terminals that make up one channel of the RDAC. SWA and SWB are always on, while one of the switches SW(0) to SW(2N - 1) is on one at a time, depending on the resistance position decoded from the data bits. Because the switch is not ideal, there is a 60 wiper resistance, RW. Wiper resistance is a function of supply voltage and temperature. The lower the supply voltage is, the higher the wiper resistance becomes. Similarly, the higher the temperature is, the higher the wiper resistance becomes. Users should be aware of the contribution of the wiper resistance when accurate prediction of the output resistance is needed. Ax SHDN Figure 50. ESD Protection of Digital Pins RS A, B, W Figure 51. ESD Protection of Resistor Terminals DAISY-CHAIN OPERATION The serial data output (SDO) pin contains an open-drain Nchannel FET. This output requires a pull-up resistor to transfer data to the SDI pin of the next package. This allows for daisychaining several RDACs from a single processor serial data line. The pull-up resistor termination voltage can be larger than the VDD supply voltage. It is recommended to increase the clock period when using a pull-up resistor to the SDI pin of the following device in series because capacitive loading at the daisy-chain node connecting SDO and SDI between devices may induce time delay to subsequent devices. Users should be aware of this potential problem to achieve data transfer successfully (see Figure 52). If two AD5260s are daisy-chained, this requires a total of 16 bits of data. The first eight bits, complying with the format shown in Table 2, go to U2, and the second eight bits with the same format go to U1. The CS pin should be kept low until all 16 bits are clocked into their respective serial RDAC LATCH AND DECODE RS RS Wx RS DIGITAL CIRCUITRY OMITTED FOR CLARITY Bx RS = RAB/2N 02695-056 02695-052 VSS D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 Figure 53. Simplified RDAC Architecture PROGRAMMING THE VARIABLE RESISTOR Rheostat Operation The nominal resistances of the RDAC between Terminal A and Terminal B are available with values of 20 k, 50 k, and 200 k.

The result is the same if Terminal A is tied to W. Table 9.

Care should be taken to limit the current flow between W and B in this state to no more than 20 mA to avoid degradation or possible destruction of the internal switches. Like the mechanical potentiometer the RDAC replaces, the AD5260/AD5262 are completely symmetrical. The resistance between Wiper W and Terminal A also produces a digitally controlled complementary resistance, RWA. Figure 54 shows the symmetrical programmability of the various terminal connections. When RWA is used, the B terminal can be left floating or tied to the wiper. Setting the resistance value for RWA starts at a maximum value of resistance and decreases as the data loaded in the latch is increased in value. The general equation for this operation is RWA (D) = 256 - D x R AB + RW 256 (2) For example, when RAB = 20 k, VA = 0 V, and the B terminal is open circuit, the following output resistance values of RWA are 02695-057 RWB (D) = set for the RDAC latch codes shown in Table 10. The result is the same if Terminal B is tied to Terminal W. RWA (D), RWB (D) - k accessed by the wiper terminal, plus the B terminal contact. The 8-bit data in the RDAC latch is decoded to select one of the 256 possible settings. Assuming a 20 k part is used, the wiper's first connection starts at the B terminal for data 0x00. Because there is a 60 wiper contact resistance, such a connection yields a minimum of 60 resistance between Terminal W and Terminal B. The second connection is the first tap point corresponding to 138 (RWB = RAB/256 RW = 78 + 60 ) for Data 0x01. The third connection is the next tap point representing 216 (78 x 2 + 60) for Data 0x02, and so on. Each LSB data value increase moves the wiper up the resistor ladder until the last tap point is reached at 19,982 (RAB - 1 LSB + RW). The wiper does not directly connect to the B terminal. See Figure 53 for a simplified diagram of the equivalent RDAC circuit. Figure 54. AD5260/AD5262 Equivalent RDAC Circuit The typical distribution of the nominal resistance RAB from channel to channel matches within 1%. Device-to-device matching is process lot-dependent with the worst case of 30% variation. However, because the resistance element is processed in thin film technology, the change in RAB with temperature has a low 35 ppm/C temperature coefficient. PROGRAMMING THE POTENTIOMETER DIVIDER Voltage Output Operation The digital potentiometer easily generates output voltages at wiper-to-B and wiper-to-A to be proportional to the input voltage at A-to-B. Ignore the effect of the wiper resistance. For example, connecting the A terminal to 5 V and the B terminal to ground produces an output voltage at W-to-B starting at 0 V up to 1 LSB less than 5 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. Because the AD5260/AD5262 operate from dual supplies, the general equation defining the output voltage at VW with respect to ground for any given input voltage applied to Terminal A and Terminal B is VW (D) = D x V AB + V B 256 (3) Operation of the digital potentiometer in the divider mode results in more accurate operation over temperature. Unlike the rheostat mode, the output voltage is dependent on the ratio of the internal resistors, RWA and RWB, and not the absolute values; therefore, the drift reduces to 5 ppm/C. Rev. A | Page 17 of 24 AD5260/AD5262 LAYOUT AND POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING It is good practice to employ 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 with quality capacitors for optimum stability. Supply leads to the device should be bypassed with 0.01 F to 0.1 F disc or chip ceramic capacitors. Low ESR 1 F to 10 F tantalum or electrolytic capacitors should also be applied at the supplies to minimize any transient disturbance (see Figure 55). Note that the digital ground should also be joined remotely to the analog ground to minimize the ground bounce. C3 + VDD C4 0.1F + 10F C2 0.1F VSS GND 02695-053 VSS Because there are diodes to limit the voltage compliance at Terminal A, Terminal B, and Terminal W (see Figure 56), it is important to power VDD/VSS first before applying any voltage to the A, B, and W terminals. Otherwise, the diode becomes forward biased such that VDD/VSS are powered unintentionally and may affect the rest of the user's circuit. The ideal power-up sequence is in the following order: GND, VDD, VSS, VL, the digital inputs, and VA/VB/VW. The order of powering VA/VB/VW and the digital inputs is not important as long as they are powered after VDD/VSS. RDAC CIRCUIT SIMULATION MODEL The internal parasitic capacitances and the external capacitive loads dominate the ac characteristics of the RDACs. Configured as a potentiometer divider, the -3 dB bandwidth of the AD5260 (20 k resistor) measures 310 kHz at half scale. Figure 28 provides the large signal Bode plot characteristics of the three available resistor versions 20 k, 50 k, and 200 k. A parasitic simulation model is shown in Figure 57.

VDD 2.5V p-p CLK GND MOSI For voltage divider mode operation, shown in Figure 60, it is common to buffer the output of the digital potentiometer unless the load is much larger than RWB.

Typical Noninvertng Gain Amplifier Note that when the RDAC B terminal parasitic capacitance is connected to the op amp noninverting node, it introduces a zero for the 1/O term with +20 dB/dec, whereas a typical op amp gain bandwidth product (GBP) has -20 dB/dec characteristics. A large R2 and finite C1 can cause this zero's frequency to fall well below the crossover frequency. Therefore, the rate of closure becomes 40 dB/dec and the system has 0 phase margin at the crossover frequency. The output may ring or oscillate if the input is a rectangular pulse or step function. Similarly, it is also likely to ring when switching between two gain values because this is equivalent to a step change at the input. 2D VO = - 1 x V REF 256 (4) +5V AD5260 Vi OP2177 U2 U1 VIN B VOUT TRIM R +5VREF A A2 R +5V W1 Rev. A | Page 19 of 24 -5V -5V REF GND ADR425 OP2177 A1 Depending on the op amp GBP, reducing the feedback resistor may extend the zero's frequency far enough to overcome the problem. A better approach, however, is to include a compensation capacitor, C2, to cancel the effect caused by C1. Optimum compensation occurs when R1 x C1 = R2 x C2. This is not an option because of the variation of R2. As a result, the R1 x C1 = R2 x C2 relationship can be used, and scale C2 as if R2 is at its maximum value. Doing so may overcompensate and compromise the performance slightly when R2 is set at low values. However, VO W -5V Figure 61. 8-Bit Bipolar DAC 02695-061 CS 02695-060 SS MICROCONTROLLER SCLK Similarly, there are W and A terminal capacitances connected to the output (not shown). Fortunately, their effect at this node is less significant, and the compensation can be avoided in most cases. PROGRAMMABLE VOLTAGE REFERENCE +5.0V VDD it avoids the ringing or oscillation at the worst case. For critical applications, C2 should be found empirically to suit the need. In general, C2 in the range of a few picofarads (pF) to no more than a few tenths of pF is usually adequate for the compensation. AD5260/AD5262 BIPOLAR PROGRAMMABLE GAIN AMPLIFIER For applications that require bipolar gain, Figure 62 shows one implementation. Digital Potentiometer U1 sets the adjustment range. The wiper voltage at W2 can therefore be programmed between Vi and -KVi at a given U2 setting. Configuring A2 in the noninverting mode allows linear gain and attenuation.

Bipolar Programmable Gain Amplifier Similar to the previous example, in the simpler and more common case, where K = 1, with a single digital potentiometer, AD5260, U1 is replaced by a matched pair of resistors to apply Vi and -Vi at the ends of the digital potentiometer. The relationship becomes R2 2D2 VO = 1 + - 1 x Vi R1 256 (6) In this circuit, the inverting input of the op amp forces VO to be equal to the wiper voltage set by the digital potentiometer. The load current is then delivered by the supply via the P-channel FET, P1. The N-channel FET, N1, simplifies the op amp driving requirement. A1 must be the rail-to-rail input type. Resistor R1 is needed to prevent P1 from turning off once it is on. The choice of R1 is a balance between the power loss of this resistor and the output turn-off time. N1 can be any general-purpose signal FET. However, P1 is driven in the saturation state, and therefore, its power handling must be adequate to dissipate (Vi - VO) x IL power. This circuit can source a maximum of 100 mA at 5 V supply. Higher current can be achieved with P1 in a larger package. Note that a single N-channel FET can replace P1, N1, and R1 altogether. However, the output swing is limited unless separate power supplies are used. For a precision application, a voltage reference such as the ADR423, ADR292, or AD1584 can be applied at the input of the digital potentiometer. If R2 is large, a few picofarad compensation capacitors may be needed to avoid any gain peaking.

The result is a bipolar amplifier with linearly programmable gain and 256-step resolution. A programmable 4 mA-to-20 mA current source can be implemented with the circuit shown in Figure 64. REF191 is a unique low supply headroom and high current handling precision reference that can deliver 20 mA at 2.048 V. The load current is simply the voltage across Terminal B to Terminal W of the digital potentiometer, divided by RS. Table 11.

PROGRAMMABLE BIDIRECTIONAL CURRENT SOURCE For applications that require bidirectional current control or higher voltage compliance, a Howland current pump can be a solution (see Figure 65).

With proper selection of R2B, an equilibrium is reached such that VO converges. R2B can be in series with a discrete resistor to increase the amplitude, but the total resistance cannot be too large to saturate the output. In both circuits in Figure 66 and Figure 67, the frequency tuning requires that both RDACs be adjusted to the same settings. Because the two channels are adjusted one at a time, an intermedi- Rev.

As a result, different devices can also be used in daisy-chained mode so that parts can be programmed to the same setting simultaneously.

Programmable Oscillator with Amplitude Control RESISTANCE SCALING Vi A R1 B W VO R2 02695-070 The AD5260/AD5262 offer 20 k, 50 k, and 200 k nominal resistance. For users who need lower resistance and still maintain the numbers of step adjustment, they can place multiple devices in parallel. For example, Figure 68 shows a simple scheme of paralleling both channels of the AD5262. To adjust half of the resistance linearly per step, users need to program both channels coherently with the same settings. Figure 68 and Figure 69 show that the digital potentiometers change steps linearly. However, log taper adjustment is usually preferred in applications like audio control. Figure 70 shows another method of resistance scaling. In this circuit, the smaller R2 is with respect to RAB, the more the pseudo-log taper characteristic behaves. VDD Figure 70.
