AD5161: 256 Position SPI/I2C Selectable Digital Potentiometer
Product Description
The AD5161 provides a compact 3 mm x 4.9 mm packaged solution for 256 position adjustment applications. This device performs the same electronic adjustment function as a mechanical potentiometer or a variable resistor. The low temperature coefficient makes this device ideal for high accuracy and stability variable resistance adjustments.
The wiper settings are controllable through a pin selectable SPI or I2C compatible digital interface, which can also be used to read back the present wiper register control word.
Operating from a 2.7 to 5.5 volt power supply consuming less than 5µA allows for usage in portable battery operated applications.
