THEORY OF OPERATION
PROGRAMMING THE VARIABLE RESISTOR
Rheostat Operation
The part operates in the rheostat mode when only two termi-
nals are used as a variable resistor. The unused terminal can
be floating or tied to the W terminal as shown in Figure 26.
The nominal resistance between Terminal A and Terminal B,

ance and has 256 tap points accessed by the wiper terminal.
The 8-bit data in the RDAC latch is decoded to select one of
the 256 possible settings. Figure 27 shows a simplified RDAC
structure.
In order to achieve optimum cost performance, Analog Devices
has patented the RDAC segmentation architecture for all the
digital potentiometers. In particular, the AD5290 employs a
3-stage segmentation approach as shown in Figure 27. As
a result, the general equation determining the digitally
programmed output resistance between the W terminal
and B terminal is

resistance of an internal switch.
The AD5290 wiper switch is designed with the transmission
gate CMOS topology and with the gate voltage derived from
V
temperature. Contrary to the temperature coefficient of the R
which is only 35 ppm/°C, the temperature coefficient of the wiper
resistance is significantly higher because the wiper resistance
doubles from 25°C to 125°C. As a result, the user must take into
consideration the contribution of RW on the desirable
resistance. On the other hand, the wiper resistance is insensitive
to the tap point potential. As a result, RW remains relatively flat
at a given V
Assuming that an ideal 10 kΩ part is used, the wiper’s first
connection starts at the B terminal for the programming code
of 0x00 where SWB is closed. The minimum resistance between
Terminal W and Terminal B is, therefore, generally 150 Ω. The
second connection is the first tap point, which corresponds to
189 Ω ( R
and so on. Each LSB data value increase moves the wiper up the
resistor ladder until the last tap point is reached at 10,110 Ω.
In the zero-scale condition, a finite total wiper resistance of
150 Ω is present. Regardless of which setting the part is oper-
ating in, care should be taken to limit the current between
the A terminal to B terminal, W terminal to A terminal, and
W terminal to B terminal, to the maximum dc current of 5 mA
or pulse current of 20 mA. Otherwise, degradation, or possible
destruction of the internal switch contact, can occur.
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, R
