4 MHz bandwidth—1 kΩ version  
Single supply 2.7 V to 5.5 V  
Dual supply 2.25 V to 2.75 V  
2 slave address decoding bits allow operation of 4 devices  
100-year typical data retention, TA = 55°C  
Operating temperature: –40°C to +105°C  
The AD5251/AD5252 allow the host I2C controllers to write  
any of the 64-/256-step wiper settings in the RDAC registers  
and store them in the EEMEM. Once the settings are stored,  
they are restored automatically to the RDAC registers at system  
power-on; the settings can also be restored dynamically.  
The AD5251/AD5252 provide additional increment,  
decrement, +6 dB step change, and –6 dB step change in  
synchronous or asynchronous channel update mode. The  
increment and decrement functions allow stepwise linear  
adjustments, with a 6 dB step change equivalent to doubling  
or halving the RDAC wiper setting. These functions are useful  
for steep-slope, nonlinear adjustments, such as white LED  
brightness and audio volume control.  
APPLICATIONS  
Mechanical potentiometer replacement  
General-purpose DAC replacement  
LCD panel VCOM adjustment  
White LED brightness adjustment  
RF base station power amp bias control  
Programmable gain and offset control  
Programmable voltage-to-current conversion  
Programmable power supply  
The AD5251/AD5252 have a patented resistance-tolerance  
storing function that allows the user to access the EEMEM and  
obtain the absolute end-to-end resistance values of the RDACs  
for precision applications.  
Sensor calibrations  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD5251/AD5252 are dual-channel, I2C®, nonvolatile mem-  
ory, digitally controlled potentiometers with 64/256 positions,  
respectively. These devices perform the same electronic adjust-  
ment functions as mechanical potentiometers, trimmers, and  
variable resistors. The parts’ versatile programmability allows  
multiple modes of operation, including read/write access in the  
RDAC and EEMEM registers, increment/decrement of resistance,  
resistance changes in 6 dB scales, wiper setting readback, and  
extra EEMEM for storing user-defined information, such as  
memory data for other components, look-up table, or system  
identification information.  
The AD5251/AD5252 are available in TSSOP-14 packages in  
1 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, and 100 kΩ options. All parts are  
guaranteed to operate over the –40°C to +105°C extended  
industrial temperature range.  
1 The terms nonvolatile memory and EEMEM are used interchangeably.  
2 The terms digital potentiometer and RDAC are used interchangeably.

1 Typical values 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 and minimum resistance wiper positions. R-DNL is the  
relative step change from an ideal value measured between successive tap positions. Parts are guaranteed monotonic, except R-DNL of AD5252 1 kΩ version at VDD

2 During power-up, all outputs are preset to midscale before restoring the EEMEM contents. RDAC0 has the shortest EEMEM data restoring time, whereas RDAC3 has the longest.  
3 Endurance is qualified to 100,000 cycles per JEDEC Standard 22, Method A117, and measured at −40°C, +25°C, and +105°C; typical endurance at +25°C is 700,000  
cycles.  
4 Retention lifetime equivalent at junction temperature TJ = 55°C per JEDEC Std. 22, Method A117. Retention lifetime based on an activation energy of 0.6 eV derates  
with junction temperature in Flash/EE memory.

While the RDAC wiper setting is controlled by a specific RDAC  
register, each RDAC register corresponds to a specific EEMEM  
location, which provides nonvolatile wiper storage functionality.  
The addresses are shown in Table 7. The single and consecutive  
write operations also apply to EEMEM write operations.  
There are 12 nonvolatile memory locations: EEMEM4 to  
EEMEM15. Users can store a total of 12 bytes of information,  
such as memory data for other components, look-up tables, or  
system identification information.  
In a write operation to the EEMEM registers, the device disables  
the I2C interface during the internal write cycle. Acknowledge  
polling is required to determine the completion of the write  
cycle. See the EEMEM Write-Acknowledge Polling section.

Users can store any of the 64 RDAC settings directly to the EEMEM for  
AD5251, or any of the 256 RDAC settings directly to the EEMEM for the  
AD5252. This is not limited to current RDAC wiper setting.

The AD5251/AD5252 provide two different RDAC or EEMEM  
read operations. For example, Figure 29 shows the method of  
reading the RDAC0 to RDAC3 contents without specifying the  
address, assuming Address RDAC0 was already selected in the  
previous operation. If an RDAC_N address other than RDAC0  
was previously selected, readback starts with Address N, followed  
by N + 1, and so on.

to change the RDAC address pointer and then proceeding with

RDAC/EEMEM Quick Commands  
and Figure 32, for example, if the rated RAB is 10 kΩ and the  
data readback from Address 11000 shows 0001 1100 and  
Address 11001 shows 0000 1111, then RDAC0 tolerance can be  
calculated as  
The AD5251/AD5252 feature 12 quick commands that facilitate  
easy manipulation of RDAC wiper settings and provide RDAC-  
to-EEMEM storing and restoring functions. The command  
format is shown in Figure 31, and the command descriptions  
are shown in Table 9.  
MSB: 0 = +  
Next 7 MSB: 001 1100 = 28  
8 LSB: 0000 1111 = 15 × 2–8 = 0.06  
Tolerance = 28.06% and, therefore,  
When using a quick command, issuing a third byte is not needed,  
but is allowed. The quick commands reset and store RDAC to  
EEMEM require acknowledge polling to determine whether the  
command has finished executing.  
RAB_ACTUAL = 12.806 kΩ  
EEMEM Write-Acknowledge Polling  
RAB Tolerance Stored in Read-Only Memory  
After each write operation to the EEMEM registers, an  
internal write cycle begins. The I2C interface of the device is  
disabled. To determine if the internal write cycle is complete  
and the I2C interface is enabled, interface polling can be  
executed. I2C interface polling can be conducted by sending a  
start condition, followed by the slave address and the write bit.  
If the I2C interface responds with an ACK, the write cycle is  
complete and the interface is ready to proceed with further  
operations. Other-wise, I2C interface polling can be repeated  
until it succeeds. Command 2 and Command 7 also require  
acknowledge polling.  
The AD5251/AD5252 feature patented RAB tolerances storage in  
the nonvolatile memory. The tolerance of each channel is stored  
in the memory during the factory production and can be read  
by users at any time. The knowledge of the stored tolerance,  
which is the average of RAB over all codes (see Figure 16), allows  
users to predict RAB accurately. This feature is valuable for  
precision, rheostat mode, and open-loop applications in which  
knowledge of absolute resistance is critical.  
The stored tolerances reside in the read-only memory and are  
expressed as percentages. Each tolerance is stored in two memory  
locations (see Table 10 ). The tolerance data is expressed in sign  
magnitude binary format stored in two bytes; an example is  
shown in Figure 32. For the first byte in Register N, the MSB  
is designated for the sign (0 = + and 1 = –) and the 7 LSB is  
designated for the integer portion of the tolerance. For the  
second byte in Register N + 1, all eight data bits are designated  
EEMEM Write Protection  
Setting the

protects the memory and RDAC registers from future write  
operations. In this mode, the EEMEM and RDAC read  
operations function as normal.

the addresses of the EEMEM and RDAC registers (see  
Figure 27 and Figure 28). When MSB = 1 or when the device  
is in CMD mode, the four bits following the MSB are C3 to  
C1, which correspond to 12 predefined EEMEM controls  
and quick commands; there are also four factory-reserved  
commands. The 3 LSB—A2, A1, and A0—are addresses,  
but only 001 and 011 are used for RDAC1 and RDAC3,  
respectively (see Figure 31). After acknowledging the  
instruction byte, the last byte in the 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 33).  
The first byte of the AD5251/AD5252 is a slave address byte  
(see Figure 33 and Figure 34). It has a 7-bit slave address and an  
R/ bit. The 5 MSB of the slave address is 01011, and the next  
W
2 LSB is determined by the states of the AD1 and AD0 pins.  
AD1 and AD0 allow the user to place up to four  
AD5251/AD5252 devices on one bus.  
AD5251/AD5252 can be controlled via an I2C-compatible serial  
bus and are connected to this bus as slave devices. The 2-wire  
I2C serial bus protocol (see Figure 33 and Figure 34) follows:  
1. The master initiates a data transfer by establishing a start  
condition, such that SDA goes from high to low while SCL  
is high (see Figure 33). The following byte is the slave address  
byte, which consists of the 5 MSB of a slave address defined  
as 01011. The next two bits are AD1 and AD0, I2C device  
address bits. Depending on the states of their AD1 and  
AD0 bits, four AD5251/AD5252 devices can be addressed  
3. In current read mode, the RDAC0 data byte immediately  
follows the acknowledgment of the slave address byte.  
After an acknowledgement, RDAC1 follows, then RDAC2,  
and so on. (There is a slight difference in write mode,  
where the last eight data bits representing RDAC3 data are  
followed by a no acknowledge bit.) Similarly, 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 34). Another reading method, random read  
method, is shown in Figure 30.  
on the same bus. The last LSB, the R/ bit, determines  
W
whether data is read from or written to the slave device.  
The slave whose address corresponds to the transmitted  
address responds by pulling the SDA line low during the  
ninth clock pulse (this is called an 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.  
4. When all data bits have been 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 that  
occurs 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 33). In read mode, the master  
issues a no acknowledge for the ninth 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 34).  
2. In the write mode (except when restoring EEMEM to the  
RDAC register), there is an instruction byte that follows  
the slave address byte. The MSB of the instruction byte is  
labeled CMD/  
. MSB = 1 enables CMD, the command  
REG  
instruction byte; MSB = 0 enables general register writing.  
The third MSB in the instruction byte, labeled EE/

is true when MSB = 0 or when the device is in general  
writing mode. EE enables the EEMEM register, and REG  
enables the RDAC register. The 5 LSB, A4 to A0, designates

AD5251/AD5252  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
The AD5251/AD5252 are dual-channel digital potentiometers  
in 1 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, or 100 kΩ that allow 64/256 linear  
resistance step adjustments. The AD5251/AD5252 employ  
double-gate CMOS EEPROM technology, which allows  
resistance settings and user-defined data to be stored in the  
EEMEM registers. The EEMEM is nonvolatile, such that  
settings remain when power is removed. The RDAC wiper  
settings are restored from the nonvolatile memory settings  
during device power-up and can also be restored at any time  
during operation.  
In addition to the movement of data between RDAC and  
EEMEM registers, the AD5251/AD5252 provide other shortcut  
commands that facilitate programming, as shown in Table 11.

scratch-pad register, allowing unlimited changes of resistance  
settings. RDAC register contents can be changed using the  
device’s serial I2C interface. The format of the data-words and  
the commands to program the RDAC registers are discussed in  
the I2C Interface Detail Description section.

Reserved.  
The four RDAC registers have corresponding EEMEM memory  
locations that provide nonvolatile storage of resistor wiper position  
settings. The AD5251/AD5252 provide commands to store the  
RDAC register contents to their respective EEMEM memory  
locations. During subsequent power-on sequences, the RDAC  
registers are automatically loaded with the stored value.  
LINEAR INCREMENT/DECREMENT COMMANDS  
The increment and decrement commands (10, 11, 5, and 6) are  
useful for linear step-adjustment applications. These commands  
simplify microcontroller software coding by allowing the  
controller to send just an increment or decrement command to  
the AD5251/AD5252. The adjustments can be directed to a  
single RDAC or to all four RDACs.  
Whenever the EEMEM write operation is enabled, the device  
activates the internal charge pump and raises the EEMEM cell  
gate bias voltage to a high level; this essentially erases the current  
content in the EEMEM register and allows subsequent storage  
of the new content. Saving data to an EEMEM register consumes  
about 35 mA of current and lasts approximately 26 ms. Because  
of charge-pump operation, all RDAC channels may experience  
noise coupling during the EEMEM writing operation.  
6 dB ADJUSTMENTS  
(DOUBLING/HALVING WIPER SETTING)  
The AD5251/AD5252 accommodate 6 dB adjustments of  
the RDAC wiper positions by shifting the register contents to  
left/right for increment/decrement operations, respectively.  
Command 3, Command 4, Command 8, and Command 9  
can be used to increment or decrement the wiper positions in  
6 dB steps synchronously or asynchronously.  
The EEMEM restore time in power-up or during operation is  
about 300 µs. Note that the power-up EEMEM refresh time  
depends on how fast VDD reaches its final value. As a result, any  
supply voltage decoupling capacitors limits the EEMEM restore  
time during power-up. For example, Figure 20 shows a power-  
up profile of the VDD where there is no decoupling capacitor and  
the applied power is a digital signal. The device initially resets  
the measured RDACs to midscale before restoring the EEMEM  
contents. By default, EEMEM is loaded at midscale until a new  
value is loaded. The omission of the decoupling capacitors  
should only be considered when the fast restoring time is  
absolutely needed in the application. In addition, users should  
issue a NOP Command 0 immediately after using Command 1  
to restore the EEMEM setting to RDAC, thereby minimizing  
supply current dissipation. Reading user data directly from  
EEMEM does not require a similar NOP command execution.  
Incrementing the wiper position by +6 dB essentially doubles  
the RDAC register value, whereas decrementing the wiper  
position by –6 dB halves the register content. Internally, the  
AD5251/AD5252 use shift registers to shift the bits left and  
right to achieve a 6 dB increment or decrement. The maximum  
number of adjustments is nine and eight steps for incrementing  
from zero scale and decrementing from full scale, respectively.  
These functions are useful for various audio/video level  
adjustments, especially for white LED brightness settings in  
which human visual responses are more sensitive to large  
adjustments than to small adjustments.

POWER-UP AND POWER-DOWN SEQUENCES  
MULTIPLE DEVICES ON ONE BUS  
Because the ESD protection diodes limit the voltage compliance  
at Terminal A, Terminal B, and Terminal W (see Figure 38), it is  
important to power on VDD/VSS before applying any voltage to  
these terminals. Otherwise, the diodes are forward biased such  
that VDD/VSS are powered unintentionally and may affect the  
users circuit. Similarly, VDD/VSS should be powered down last.  
The ideal power-up sequence is in the following order: GND,  
VDD, VSS, 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.  
The AD5251/AD5252 are equipped with two addressing pins,  
AD1 and AD0, that allow up to four AD5251/AD5252 devices  
to be operated on one I2C bus. To achieve this result, the states of  
AD1 and AD0 on each device must first be defined. An example  
is shown in Table 12 and Figure 37. In I2C programming, each  
device is issued a different slave address—01011(AD1)(AD0)—  
to complete the addressing.

It is always a 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

Similarly, it is also good practice to bypass the power supplies  
with quality capacitors. Low equivalent series resistance (ESR)  
1 μF to 10 μF tantalum or electrolytic capacitors should be  
applied at the supplies to minimize any transient disturbance  
and filter low frequency ripple. Figure 39 illustrates the basic  
supply-bypassing configuration for the AD5251/AD5252.

If either the W-to-B or W-to-A terminal is used as a variable  
resistor, the unused terminal can be opened or shorted with W;  
such operation is called rheostat mode (see Figure 41). The  
resistance tolerance can range 20%.

The ground pin of the AD5251/AD5252 is used primarily as a  
digital ground reference. To minimize the digital ground  
bounce, the AD5251/AD5252 ground terminal should be joined  
remotely to the common ground (see Figure 39).

DIGITAL POTENTIOMETER OPERATION  
The nominal resistance of the AD5251/AD5252 has 64/256  
contact points accessed by the wiper terminal, plus the B terminal  
contact. The 6-/8-bit data-word in the RDAC register is decoded  
to select one of the 64/256 settings. The wipers first connection  
starts at the B terminal for Data 0x00. This B terminal connection  
has a wiper contact resistance, RW, of 75 Ω, regardless of the  
nominal resistance. The second connection (the AD5251 10 kΩ  
part) is the first tap point where RWB = 231 Ω (RWB = RAB/64 +  
RW = 156 Ω + 75 Ω) for Data 0x01, and so on. Each LSB data  
value increase moves the wiper up the resistor ladder until the  
last tap point is reached at RWB = 9893 Ω. See Figure 40 for a  
simplified diagram of the equivalent RDAC circuit.  
The structure of the RDAC is designed to emulate the  
performance of a mechanical potentiometer. The RDAC  
contains a string of resistor segments with an array of analog  
switches that act as the wiper connection to the resistor array.  
The number of points is the resolution of the device. For  
example, the AD5251/AD5252 emulate 64/256 connection  
points with 64/256 equal resistance, RS, allowing them to  
provide better than 1.5%/0.4% resolution.  
Figure 40 provides an equivalent diagram of the connections  
between the three terminals that make up one channel of the  
RDAC. Switches SWA and SWB are always on, but only one of  
switches SW(0) to SW(2N – 1) can be on at a time (determined by  
the setting decoded from the data bit). Because the switches are  
nonideal, there is a 75 Ω wiper resistance, RW. Wiper resistance  
is a function of supply voltage and temperature: Lower supply  
voltages and higher temperatures result in higher wiper  
resistances. Consideration of wiper resistance dynamics is  
important in applications in which accurate prediction of  
output resistance is required.  
The general equation that determines the digitally programmed  
output resistance between W and B is  
AD5251: RWB(D) = (D/64) × RAB + 75 Ω  
AD5252: RWB(D) = (D/256) × RAB + 75 Ω

Since the digital potentiometer is not ideal, a 75 Ω finite wiper  
resistance is present that can easily be seen when the device is  
programmed at zero scale. Because of the fine geometric and  
interconnects employed by the device, care should be taken to  
limit the current conduction between W and B to no more than  
5 mA continuous for a total resistance of 1 kΩ or a pulse of  
20 mA to avoid degradation or possible destruction of the  
device. The maximum dc current for AD5251 and AD5252 are  
shown in Figure 21and Figure 22, respectively.

effect is

where 2N is the number of steps.  
Similar to the mechanical potentiometer, the resistance of the  
RDAC between Wiper W and Terminal A also produces a  
digitally controlled complementary resistance, RWA. When these  
terminals are used, the B terminal can be opened. The RWA  
starts at a maximum value and decreases as the data loaded into  
the latch increases in value (see Figure 42). The general  
equation for this operation is  
Unlike in rheostat mode operation, where the tolerance is high,  
potentiometer mode operation yields an almost ratiometric  
function of D/2N with a relatively small error contributed by the  
RW terms. Therefore, the tolerance effect is almost cancelled.  
Similarly, the ratiometric adjustment also reduces the  
temperature coefficient effect to 50 ppm/°C, except at low value  
codes where RW dominates.  
AD5251: RWA(D) = [(64 – D)/64] × RAB + 75 Ω  
AD5252: RWA(D) = [(256 – D)/256] × RAB + 75 Ω  
The typical distribution of RAB from channel-to-channel  
matches is about 0.15% within a given device. On the other  
hand, device-to-device matching is process-lot dependent with

Large LCD panels usually require an adjustable VCOM voltage  
centered around 6 V to 8 V with 1 V swing and small steps  
adjustment. This example represents common DAC appli-  
cations where the window of adjustments is small and centered  
at any level. High voltage and high resolution DACs can be  
used, but it is far more cost-effective to use low voltage digital  
potentiometers with level shifting, such as the AD5251 or  
AD5252, to achieve the objective.

Assume a VCOM voltage requirement of 6 V 1 V with a 20 mV  
step adjustment, as shown in Figure 44. The AD5252 can be  
configured in voltage divider mode with an op amp gain. With  
20% tolerance accounted for by the AD5252, this circuit can  
still be adjusted from 5 V to 7 V with an 8 mV/step in the  
worst case.

adequate headroom and current for the LEDs. Because its FB pin  
voltage is 1.2 V, the digital potentiometer AD5252 and the op amp  
form an average gain of 12 feedback networks that servo the  
sensing and feedback voltages. As a result, the voltage across

The circuit can be programmed for use with systems that require  
different sensitivities. If the op amp has very low offset and low  
bias current, the major source of error comes from the digital  
potentiometer channel-to-channel resistance mismatch, which  
is typically 0.15%. The circuit accuracy is about 9 bits, which is  
adequate for LED control and other general-purpose applications.
