GENERAL DESCRIPTION
activation, a permanent blow fuse command freezes the wiper
position (analogous to placing epoxy on a mechanical trimmer).
The AD5170 is a 256-position, two-time programmable, digital
potentiometer1 that employs fuse link technology, giving users
two opportunities to permanently program the resistance setting.
For users who do not need to program the digital potentiometer
setting in memory more than once, the OTP feature is a cost-
effective alternative to EEMEM. The AD5170 performs the same
electronic adjustment function as mechanical potentiometers or
variable resistors with enhanced resolution, solid-state reliability,
and superior low temperature coefficient performance.
The AD5170 is programmed using a 2-wire, I2C®-compatible
digital interface. Unlimited adjustments are allowed before
permanently setting the resistance value, and there are two
opportunities for permanent programming. During OTP
Unlike traditional OTP digital potentiometers, the AD5170 has
a unique temporary OTP overwrite feature that allows for new
adjustments even after the fuse is blown. However, the OTP setting
is restored during subsequent power-up conditions. This feature
allows users to treat these digital potentiometers as volatile poten-
tiometers with a programmable preset.
For applications that program the AD5170 at the factory, Analog
Devices, Inc., offers device programming software that runs on
Windows NT®, Windows® 2000, and Windows XP operating
systems. This software effectively replaces any external I2C con-
trollers, thus enhancing the time-to-market of the user’s systems.
1 The terms digital potentiometer, VR, and RDAC are used interchangeably.

1 Typical specifications represent average readings at 25°C and VDD = 5 V.
2 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 the ideal between successive tap positions. Parts are guaranteed monotonic.
3 VAB = VDD, wiper (VW) = no connect.
4 INL and DNL are measured at VW with the RDAC configured as a potentiometer divider similar to a voltage output DAC. VA = VDD and VB = ± V. DNL specification limits
of ±1 LSB maximum are guaranteed monotonic operating conditions.
5 The A, B, and W resistor terminals have no limitations on polarity with respect to each other.
6 Guaranteed by design and not subject to production test.
7 Measured at the A terminal. The A terminal is open circuited in shutdown mode.
8 The minimum voltage requirement on the VIH is ±.7 V × VDD. For example, VIH minimum = 3.5 V when VDD = 5 V. It is typical for the SCL and SDA resistors to be pulled
up to VDD. However, care must be taken to ensure that the minimum VIH is met when the SCL and SDA are driven directly from a low voltage logic controller without
pull-up resistors.
9 Different from operating power supply; power supply for OTP is used one time only.
1± Different from operating current; supply current for OTP lasts approximately 4±± ms for use one time only.
11 See Figure 26 for the energy plot during OTP program.

PROGRAMMING THE VARIABLE RESISTOR AND
VOLTAGE—RHEOSTAT OPERATION
ONE-TIME PROGRAMMING (OTP)
Prior to OTP activation, the AD5170 presets to midscale during
initial power-on. After the wiper is set at the desired position,
the resistance can be permanently set by programming the T bit
high along with the proper coding (see Table 9 and Table 10) and
one-time VDD_OTP. Note that fuse link technology of the AD517x
family of digital potentiometers requires that VDD_OTP between 5.6 V
and 5.8 V blow the fuses to achieve a given nonvolatile setting. On
the other hand, VDD can be 2.7 V to 5.5 V during operation. For
system supplies that are lower than 5.6 V, an external supply for
one-time programming is required. Note that the user is allowed
only one attempt in blowing the fuses. If the user fails to blow the
fuses at the first attempt, the structures of the fuses may have
changed such that they can never be blown, regardless of the
energy applied at subsequent events. For details, see the Power
Supply Considerations section.
The nominal resistance (RAB) between Terminal A and Terminal B
is available in 2.5 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, and 100 kΩ. The nominal
resistance of the VR has 256 contact points that are 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.

Figure 34. Rheostat Mode Configuration
Assuming that a 10 kΩ part is used, the first connection of the
wiper starts at Terminal B for Data 0x00. Because there is a 50 Ω
wiper contact resistance, such a connection yields a minimum of
100 Ω (2 × 50 Ω) resistance between Terminal W and Terminal B.
The second connection is the first tap point, which corresponds
to 139 Ω (RWB = RAB/256 + 2 × RW = 39 Ω + 2 × 50 Ω) for Data
0x01. The third connection is the next tap point, representing
178 Ω (2 × 39 Ω + 2 × 50 Ω) 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 10,100 Ω (RAB + 2 × RW).
The device control circuit has two validation bits, E1 and E0,
that can be read back to check the programming status (see
Table 6). Users should always read back the validation bits to
ensure that the fuses are properly blown. After the fuses are
blown, all fuse latches are enabled upon subsequent power-on;
therefore, the output corresponds to the stored setting. Figure 33
shows a detailed functional block diagram.

The digital potentiometer easily generates a voltage divider at
wiper to B and wiper to A proportional to the input voltage at
A to B. Unlike the polarity of VDD to GND, which must be
positive, voltage across A to B, W to A, and W to B can be at
either polarity.

In summary, if RAB = 10 kΩ and Terminal A is open-circuited,
the output resistance, RWB, is set for the RDAC latch codes, as
shown in Table 7.
If ignoring the effect of the wiper resistance for approximation,
connecting Terminal A to 5 V and Terminal B to ground pro-
duces an output voltage at the wiper 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. 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

Note that in the zero-scale condition, a finite wiper resistance of

pulse current of no more than 20 mA. Otherwise, degradation
or possible destruction of the internal switch contact can occur.

Therefore, the temperature drift reduces to 15 ppm/°C.

Figure 38. ESD Protection of Resistor Terminals
For example, for those who operate their systems at 2.7 V, use of
the bidirectional, low threshold, P-Channel MOSFETs is recom-
mended for the isolation of the supply. As shown in Figure 40,
this assumes that the 2.7 V system voltage is applied first, and
the P1 and P2 gates are pulled to ground, thus turning on P1 and,
subsequently, P2. As a result, VDD of the AD5170 approaches 2.7 V.
When the AD5170 setting is found, the factory tester applies the
TERMINAL VOLTAGE OPERATING RANGE
The AD5170 VDD-to-GND power supply defines the boundary
conditions for proper 3-terminal digital potentiometer opera-
tion. Supply signals present on Terminal A, Terminal B, and
Terminal W that exceed VDD or GND are clamped by the internal
forward-biased diodes (see Figure 39).

gramming is complete, the tester withdraws the VDD_OTP and the
setting for the AD5170 is permanently fixed.

The AD5170 achieves the OTP function by blowing internal
fuses. Users should always apply the 5.6 V to 5.8 V one-time-
program voltage requirement at the first fuse programming
attempt. Failure to comply with this requirement can lead to a
change in the fuse structures, rendering programming inoperable.
GND
Figure 39. Maximum Terminal Voltages Set by VDD and GND
POWER-UP SEQUENCE
Because the ESD protection diodes limit the voltage compliance
at Terminal A, Terminal B, and Terminal W, it is important to
power VDD/GND before applying any voltage to Terminal A,
Terminal B, and Terminal W (see Figure 39). Otherwise, the
diode is forward-biased such that VDD is powered unintentionally
and may affect the rest of the user’s circuit. The ideal power-up
sequence is GND, VDD, the digital inputs, and then VA/VB/VW.
The relative order of powering VA, VB, VW, and the digital inputs
is not important as long as they are powered up after GND/VDD.
Care should be taken when SCL and SDA are driven from a low
voltage logic controller. Users must ensure that the logic high
level is between 0.7 V × VDD and VDD + 0.5 V. Refer to the Level
Shifting for Different Voltage Operation section.
Poor PCB layout introduces parasitics that can affect the fuse
programming. Therefore, it is recommended to add a 10 μF
tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 1 nF ceramic capacitor as
close as possible to the VDD pin. The type and value chosen for
both capacitors are important. This combination of capacitor
values provides both a fast response and larger supply current
handling with minimum supply droop during transients. As a
result, these capacitors increase the OTP programming success
by not inhibiting the proper energy needed to blow the internal
fuses. Additionally, C1 minimizes transient disturbance and low
frequency ripple, and C2 reduces high frequency noise during
normal operation.
POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
To minimize the package pin count, both the one-time pro-
gramming and normal operating voltage supplies share the
same VDD terminal of the AD5170. The AD5170 employs fuse
link technology that requires 5.6 V to 5.8 V for blowing the
internal fuses to achieve a given setting, but normal VDD can be
anywhere between 2.7 V and 5.5 V after the fuse programming
process. As a result, dual voltage supplies and isolation are needed if
system VDD is lower than the required VDD_OTP. The fuse program-
ming supply (either an on-board regulator or rack-mount power
supply) must be rated at 5.6 V to 5.8 V and be able to provide a
100 mA current for 400 ms for successful OTP.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
It is good practice to employ compact, minimum lead length,
layout design. The leads to the inputs should be as direct as
possible, with a minimum conductor length. Ground paths
should have low resistance and low inductance.

Figure 46. Reading Data from the RDAC Register
I2C-COMPATIBLE, 2-WIRE SERIAL BUS
The following section describes how the 2-wire, I2C serial bus
protocol operates (see Figure 45 and Figure 46).
The third MSB, T, is the OTP programming bit. A logic high
blows the polyfuses and programs the resistor setting perma-
nently. For example, if the user wants to blow the first array
of fuses, the instruction byte is 00100XXX. To blow the second
array of fuses, the instruction byte is 10100XXX. A logic low of
the T bit simply allows the device to act as a typical volatile digital
potentiometer.
The master initiates a data transfer by establishing a start con-
dition, which is when a high-to-low transition on the SDA line
occurs while SCL is high (see Figure 45). The following byte is
the slave address byte, which consists of the slave address followed
The fourth MSB must always be Logic 0.
W
by an R/ bit (this bit determines whether data is read from or
The fifth MSB, OW, is an overwrite bit. When raised to a logic
high, OW allows the RDAC setting to be changed even after the
internal fuses are blown. However, when OW is returned to
Logic 0, the position of the RDAC returns to the setting prior to
the overwrite. Because OW is not static, if the device is powered
off and on, the RDAC presets to midscale or to the setting at
which the fuses were blown, depending on whether the fuses
are permanently set.
written to the slave device). AD0 and AD1 are configurable address
bits that allow up to four devices on one bus (see Table 9).
The slave address corresponding to the transmitted address bits
responds by pulling the SDA line low during the ninth clock
pulse (this is called the acknowledge bit). At this stage, all other
devices on the bus remain idle while the selected device waits
for data to be written to, or read from, its serial register. If the
R/ bit is high, the master reads from the slave device. If the

bits (see Figure 45).
R/ bit is low, the master writes to the slave device.
W
In write mode, the second byte is the instruction byte. The first
MSB of the instruction byte, 2T, is the second trim enable bit.
A logic low selects the first array of the fuses, and a logic high
selects the second array of the fuses. This means that after blowing
the fuses with Trim 1, the user still has another chance to blow
them again with Trim 2. Note that using Trim 2 before Trim 1
effectively disables Trim 1 and, in turn, allows only one-time
programming.
After acknowledging the instruction byte, the last byte in write
mode is the data byte. Data is transmitted over the serial bus in
sequences of nine clock pulses (eight data bits followed by an
acknowledge bit). The transitions on the SDA line must occur
during the low period of SCL and remain stable during the high
period of SCL (see Figure 2).
In read mode, the data byte follows immediately after the
acknowledgment of the slave address byte. Data is transmitted
over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock pulses (a slight
difference from write mode, with eight data bits followed by an
acknowledge bit). Similarly, transitions on the SDA line must
occur during the low period of SCL and remain stable during
the high period of SCL (see Figure 46).
The second MSB, SD, is a shutdown bit. A logic high causes an
open circuit at Terminal A and shorts the wiper to Terminal B.
This operation yields almost 0 Ω in rheostat mode or 0 V in
potentiometer mode. Note that the shutdown operation does
not disturb the contents of the register. When brought out of
shutdown, the previous setting is applied to the RDAC. In
addition, new settings can be programmed during shutdown.
When the part is returned from shutdown, the corresponding
VR setting is applied to the RDAC.
Following the data byte, the validation byte contains two valida-
tion bits, E0 and E1. These bits signify the status of the one-time
programming (see Figure 46).

After all the data bits are read or written, a stop condition is
established by the master. A stop condition is defined as a low-
to-high transition on the SDA line while SCL is high. In write
mode, the master pulls the SDA line high during the 10th clock
pulse to establish a stop condition (see Figure 45).

In read mode, the master issues a no acknowledge for the 9th
clock pulse (that is, the SDA line remains high). The master brings
the SDA line low before the 10th clock pulse and then brings the
SDA line high to establish a stop condition (see Figure 46).

A repeated write function gives the user flexibility to update the
RDAC output a number of times after addressing and instructing
the part only once. For example, after the RDAC has acknowledged
its slave address and instruction bytes in write mode, the RDAC
output updates on each successive byte. If different instructions
are needed, the write/read mode has to start again with a new
slave address, instruction, and data byte. Similarly, a repeated
read function of the RDAC is also allowed.

LEVEL SHIFTING FOR DIFFERENT VOLTAGE
OPERATION
If the SCL and SDA signals come from a low voltage logic con-
troller and are below the minimum VIH level (0.7 V × VDD), level
shift the signals for read/write communications between the
AD5170 and the controller. Figure 48 shows one of the implemen-
tations. For example, when SDA1 is at 2.5 V, M1 turns off and
SDA2 becomes 5 V. When the SDA1 is at 0 V, M1 turns on and
the SDA2 approaches 0 V. As a result, proper level shifting is
established. M1 and M2 should be low threshold, N-channel
power MOSFETs, such as the FDV301N.
Multiple Devices on One Bus
Figure 47 shows four AD5170s on the same serial bus. Each has
a different slave address because the states of their AD0 and
AD1 pins are different, which allows each device on the bus to
be written to or read from independently. The master device
output bus line drivers are open-drain pull-downs in a fully
I2C-compatible interface.
