GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5111/AD5113/AD5115 provide a nonvolatile solution
for 128-/64-/32-position adjustment applications, offering
guaranteed low resistor tolerance errors of ±8% and up to
±6 mA current density in the A, B, and W pins. The low resistor
tolerance, low nominal temperature coefficient, and high
bandwidth simplify open-loop applications, as well as tolerance
matching applications.
The new low wiper resistance feature minimizes the wiper
resistance in the extremes of the resistor array to only 45 Ω,
typical.
A simple 3-wire up/down interface allows manual switching
or high speed digital control with clock rates up to 50 MHz.
The AD5111/AD5113/AD5115 are available in a 2 mm × 2 mm
LFCSP package. The parts are guaranteed to operate over the
extended industrial temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD5111/AD5113/AD5115 digital programmable resistors
are designed to operate as true variable resistors for analog
signals within the terminal voltage range of GND < VTERM <
VDD. The resistor wiper position is determined by the RDAC
register contents. The RDAC register acts as a scratchpad
register that allows unlimited changes of resistance settings.
The RDAC register can be programmed with any position
setting using the up/down interface. Once a desirable wiper
position is found, this value can be stored in the EEPROM.
Thereafter, the wiper position is always restored to that position
for subsequent power-up. The storing of EEPROM data takes
approximately 30 ms; during this time, the device is locked and
does not accept any new operation, thus preventing any changes
from taking place.
The AD5111/AD5113/AD5115 are designed to allow high
speed digital control with clock rates up to 50 MHz.
RDAC REGISTER AND EEPROM
The RDAC register directly controls the position of the digital
potentiometer wiper. For example, when the RDAC register is
0x40 (AD5111), the wiper is connected to midscale of the
variable resistor. The RDAC register is a standard logic register;
there is no restriction on the number of changes allowed.
Once a desirable wiper position is found, this value can be
saved into the EEPROM. Thereafter, the wiper position is
always set at that position for any future on-off-on power
supply sequence or recall operation.
BASIC OPERATION
When CS is pulled low, changing the resistance settings is
achieved by clocking the CLK pin. It is negative edge triggered,
and the direction of stepping into the RDAC register is
determined by the state of the U/D input. When a specific state
of the U/D remains, the device continues to change in the same
direction under consecutive clocks until it comes to the end of
the resistance setting. When the wiper reaches the maximum or
minimum setting, additional CLK pulses do not change the
wiper setting. Figure 2 shows a typical increment/decrement
operation.
The U/D pin value can be changed only when the CLK pin
is low.
LOW WIPER RESISTANCE FEATURE
The AD5111/AD5113/AD5115 include a new feature to reduce
the resistance between terminals. These extra steps are called
bottom scale and top scale. At bottom scale, the typical wiper
resistance decreases from 70 Ω to 45 Ω. At top scale, the
resistance between Terminal A and Terminal W is decreased by
1 LSB and the total resistance is reduced to 70 Ω. The new extra
steps are loaded automatically in the RDAC register after zero-
scale or full-scale position has been reached.
The extra steps are not equal to 1 LSB and are not included in
the INL, DNL, R-INL, and R-DNL specifications.
SHUTDOWN MODE
This feature places Terminal A in open circuit, disconnected
from the internal resistor, and connects Terminal W and
Terminal B. A finite wiper resistance of 45 Ω is present between
these two terminals. The command is sent by a low-to-high
transition on the U/D pin, when CLK is high and CS is enabled.
The command is executed on the CLK negative edge, as shown
in Figure 4.
The AD5111/AD5113/AD5115 return the wiper to prior
shutdown position if any other operation is performed.
EEPROM WRITE OPERATION
The AD5111/AD5113/AD5115 contain an EEPROM that
allows the wiper position storage. Once a desirable wiper
position is found, this value can be saved into the EEPROM.
Thereafter, the wiper position is always set at that position for
any future power-up sequence or a memory recall operation.
During the storage cycle, the device is locked and does not accept
any new operation, thus preventing any changes from taking
place.
The write cycle is started by applying a pulse in the U/D pin
when CS is enabled and CLK remains high, as shown in
Figure 3. The write cycle takes approximately 20 ms.

RDAC ARCHITECTURE
To achieve optimum performance, Analog Devices, Inc., has
patented the RDAC segmentation architecture for all the digital
potentiometers. In particular, the AD5111/AD5113/AD5115
employ a two-stage segmentation approach as shown in
Figure 42. The AD5111/AD5113/AD5115 wiper switch is
designed with the transmission gate CMOS topology and with
the gate voltage derived from VDD.

Low Wiper Resistance Feature
In addition, the AD5111/AD5113/AD5115 include a new
feature to reduce the resistance between terminals. These extra
steps are called bottom scale and top scale. At bottom scale, the
typical wiper resistance decreases from 70 Ω to 45 Ω. At top
scale, the resistance between Terminal A and Terminal W is
decreased by 1 LSB and the total resistance is reduced to 70 Ω.
The extra steps are not equal to 1 LSB and are not included in
the INL, DNL, R-INL, and R-DNL specifications.
PROGRAMMING THE VARIABLE RESISTOR
Rheostat Operation—±8% Resistor Tolerance
The AD5111/AD5113/AD5115 operate in rheostat mode when
only two terminals are used as a variable resistor. The unused
terminal can be floating or tied to the W terminal as shown in
Figure 43.

The nominal resistance between Terminal A and Terminal B,
RAB, is available in 5 k, 10 k, and 80 k and has 128/64/32
tap points accessed by the wiper terminal. The 5-/6-/7-bit data
in the RDAC latch is decoded to select one of the 128/64/32
possible wiper settings. The general equations for determining

Similar to the mechanical potentiometer, the resistance of
the RDAC between the W terminal and the A terminal also
produces a digitally controlled complementary resistance, RWA .
RWA starts at the maximum resistance value and decreases as the
data loaded into the latch increases. The general equations for
this operation are

Regardless of which setting the part is operating in, take care
to limit the current between A to B, W to A, and W to B, to
the maximum continuous current of ±6 mA (5 kΩ and 10 kΩ)
or ±1.5 mA (80 kΩ), or pulse current specified in Table 6.
Otherwise, degradation or possible destruction of the internal
switch contact can occur.
PROGRAMMING THE POTENTIOMETER DIVIDER
Voltage Output Operation
The digital potentiometer easily generates a voltage divider at
W-to-B and W-to-A that is proportional to the input voltage at
A-to-B, as shown in Figure 44. Unlike the polarity of VDD to
GND, which must be positive, current across A-to-B, W-to-A,
and W-to-B can be in either direction.

If ignoring the effect of the wiper resistance for simplicity,
connecting Terminal A to 5 V and Terminal B to ground
produces an output voltage at W to B ranging from 0 V to 5 V.
The general equation defining the output voltage at VW with
respect to ground for any valid input voltage applied to
Terminal A and Terminal B, is

where:
RWB(D) can be obtained from Equation 1 to Equation 6.
RAW(D) can be obtained from Equation 7 to Equation 14.
Operation of the digital potentiometer in the divider mode
results in a more accurate operation over temperature. Unlike
the rheostat mode, the output voltage is dependent mainly
on the ratio of the internal resistors, RWA and RWB, and not the
absolute values. Therefore, the temperature drift reduces to
5 ppm/°C.
TERMINAL VOLTAGE OPERATING RANGE
The AD5111/AD5113/AD5115 are designed with internal
ESD diodes for protection. These diodes also set the voltage
boundary of the terminal operating voltages. Positive signals
present on the A, B, or W terminals that exceed VDD are
clamped by the forward-biased diode. There is no polarity
constraint between VA, VW, and VB, but they cannot be higher
than VDD or lower than GND.

POWER-UP SEQUENCE
Because of the ESD protection diodes that limit the voltage
compliance at the A, B, and W terminals (see Figure 45), it is
important to power on VDD before applying any voltage to the
A, B, and W terminals. Otherwise, the diodes are forward-
biased such that VDD is powered on unintentionally and can
affect other parts of the circuit. Similarly, VDD should be
powered down last. The ideal power-on sequence is in the
following order: GND, VDD, and VA/VB/VW. The order of
powering VA, VB, VW and the digital inputs is not important as
long as they are powered on after VDD.

LAYOUT AND POWER SUPPLY BIASING
It is always a good practice to use 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. It is also good
practice to bypass the power supplies with quality capacitors.
Apply low equivalent series resistance (ESR) 1 μF to 10 μF
tantalum or electrolytic capacitors at the supplies to minimize
any transient disturbance and to filter low frequency ripple.
Figure 46 illustrates the basic supply bypassing configuration
for the AD5111/AD5113/AD5115.
