GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5235-EP is a dual-channel, nonvolatile memory,1
digitally controlled potentiometer2 with 1024-step resolution.
The device performs the same electronic adjustment function as a
mechanical potentiometer with enhanced resolution, solid state
reliability, and superior low temperature coefficient performance.
The AD5235-EP’s versatile programming via an SPI®-compatible
serial interface allows 16 modes of operation and adjustment
including scratchpad programming, memory storing and restoring,
increment/decrement, ±6 dB/step log taper adjustment, wiper setting
readback, and extra EEMEM1 for user-defined information such as
memory data for other components, look-up tables, or system
identification information.

Figure 1.
In scratchpad programming mode, a specific setting can be
programmed directly to the RDAC2 register that sets the resistance
between Terminal W and Terminal A, and Terminal W and
Terminal B. This setting can be stored into the EEMEM and
is restored automatically to the RDAC register during system
power-on.
The EEMEM content can be restored dynamically or through
external PR strobing, and a WP function protects EEMEM contents.
To simplify the programming, the independent or simultaneous
linear-step increment or decrement commands can be used to move
the RDAC wiper up or down, one step at a time. For logarithmic
±6 dB changes in the wiper setting, the left or right bit shift
command can be used to double or halve the RDAC wiper setting.
The AD5235-EP patterned resistance tolerance is stored in the
EEMEM. Therefore, in readback mode, the host processor can
know the actual end-to-end resistance. The host can execute the
appropriate resistance step through a software routine that simplifies
open-loop applications as well as precision calibration and
tolerance matching applications.
The AD5235-EP is available in a thin, 16-lead TSSOP package.
The part is guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial
temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.
Full details about this enhanced product, including theory of
operation, register details, and applications information, are
available in the AD5235 data sheet, which should be consulted
in conjunction with this data sheet.

1 Typicals 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 ideal between successive tap positions. IW ~ 50 µA for VDD = 2.7 V and IW ~ 400 µA for VDD = 5 V (see Figure 25).
3 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 = VSS. DNL specification limits of
±1 LSB maximum are guaranteed monotonic operating conditions (see Figure 26).
4 Resistor Terminal A, Resistor Terminal B, and Resistor Terminal W have no limitations on polarity with respect to each other. Dual-supply operation enables ground-
referenced bipolar signal adjustment.
5 Guaranteed by design and not subject to production test.
6 Common-mode leakage current is a measure of the dc leakage from any Terminal A, Terminal B, or Terminal W to a common-mode bias level of VDD/2.
7 EEMEM restore mode current is not continuous. Current is consumed while EEMEM locations are read and transferred to the RDAC register (see Figure 22). To
minimize power dissipation, a NOP, Instruction 0 (0x0) should be issued immediately after Instruction 1 (0x1).
8 PDISS is calculated from (IDD × VDD) + (ISS × VSS).
9 All dynamic characteristics use VDD = +2.5 V and VSS = −2.5 V.

INTERFACE TIMING AND EEMEM RELIABILITY CHARACTERISTICS
Guaranteed by design and not subject to production test. See the Timing Diagrams section for the location of measured values. All input
control voltages are specified with tR = tF = 2.5 ns (10% to 90% of 3 V) and timed from a voltage level of 1.5 V. Switching characteristics are
measured using both VDD = 2.7 V and VDD = 5 V.

1 Typicals represent average readings at 25°C and VDD = 5 V.
2 Propagation delay depends on the value of VDD, RPULL-UP, and CL.
3 Valid for commands that do not activate the RDY pin.
4 The RDY pin is low only for Instruction 2, Instruction 3, Instruction 8, Instruction 9, Instruction 10, and the PR hardware pulse: CMD_8 ~ 20 µs; CMD_9, CMD_10 ~ 7 µs;
CMD_2, CMD_3 ~ 15 ms; PR hardware pulse ~ 30 µs.
5 Store EEMEM time depends on the temperature and EEMEM writes cycles. Higher timing is expected at a lower temperature and higher write cycles.
6 Not shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3.
7 Endurance is qualified to 100,000 cycles per JEDEC Standard 22, Method A117 and measured at40°C, +25°C, and +125°C.
8 Retention lifetime equivalent at junction temperature (TJ) = 85°C per JEDEC Standard 22, Method A117. Retention lifetime based on an activation energy of 1 eV
derates with junction temperature in the Flash/EE memory.

1 CLK Serial Input Register Clock. Shifts in one bit at a time on positive clock edges.
2 SDI Serial Data Input. Shifts in one bit at a time on positive clock CLK edges. MSB loads first.
3 SDO Serial Data Output. Serves readback and daisy-chain functions. Command 9 and Command 10 activate the SDO
output for the readback function, delayed by 24 or 25 clock pulses, depending on the clock polarity before and
after the data-word (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). In other commands, the SDO shifts out the previously loaded SDI
bit pattern, delayed by 24 or 25 clock pulses depending on the clock polarity (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). This
previously shifted out SDI can be used for daisy-chaining multiple devices. Whenever SDO is used, a pull-up
resistor in the range of 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ is needed.
4 GND Ground Pin, Logic Ground Reference.
5 VSS Negative Supply. Connect to 0 V for single-supply applications. If VSS is used in dual supply, it must be able to sink

CMD_1 and COMD_8 refresh the RDAC register from EEMEM. Execute a NOP instruction before returning to WP
high. Tie WP to VDD, if not used.
14 PR Optional Hardware Override Preset. Refreshes the scratchpad register with current contents of the EEMEM
register. Factory default loads midscale 51210 until EEMEM is loaded with a new value by the user. PR is activated
at the logic high transition. Tie PR to VDD, if not used.
