GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADN2850 provides dual channel, digitally controlled
programmable resistors
2
with resolution of 1024 positions. These
devices perform the same electronic adjustment function as a
mechanical rheostat. The ADN2850’s versatile programming via a
standard serial interface allows sixteen mode of operations and
adjustment including scratch pad programming, memory storing
and retrieving, increment/decrement, log taper adjustment, wiper
setting readback, and extra user defined EEMEM.
In the scratch pad programming mode, a specific setting can be
programmed directly to the RDAC
2
register, which sets the
resistance between terminals W-and-B. The RDAC register can
also be loaded with a value previously stored in the EEMEM
1
register. The value in the EEMEM can be changed or protected.
When changes are made to the RDAC register, the value of the new
setting can be saved into the EEMEM. Thereafter, such value will
be transferred automatically to the RDAC register during system
power ON. It is enabled by the internal preset strobe. EEMEM can
also be retrieved through direct programming and external preset
pin control.
Other key mode of operations include linear step increment and
decrement commands such that the setting in the RDAC register
can be moved UP or DOWN, one step at a time. For logarithmic
changes in wiper setting, a left/right bit shift command adjusts the
level in ±6dB steps.
The ADN2850 is available in the 5mm x 5mm LFCSP-16 Lead
Frame Chip Scale and thin TSSOP-16 packages. All parts are
guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial temperature
range of -40°C to +85°C.
