GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5222 provides a dual channel, 128-position, digitally
controlled variable-resistor (VR) device. This device performs
the same electronic adjustment function as a potentiometer or
variable resistor. These products were optimized for instrument
and test equipment push-button applications. Choices between
bandwidth or power dissipation are available as a result of the
wide selection of end-to-end terminal resistance values.
The AD5222 contains two fixed resistors with wiper contacts that
tap the fixed resistor value at a point determined by a digitally
controlled up/down counter. The resistance between the wiper
and either end point of the fixed resistor provides a constant
resistance step size that is equal to the end-to-end resistance
divided by the number of positions (e.g., R STEP = 10 kΩ/128 =
78 Ω). The variable resistor offers a true adjustable value of
resistance, between Terminal A and the wiper, or Terminal B
and the wiper. The fixed A-to-B terminal resistance of 10 kΩ,
50 kΩ, 100 kΩ, or 1 MΩ has a nominal temperature coefficient
of –35 ppm/°C.
The chip select CS, count CLK and U/D direction control inputs
set the variable resistor position. The MODE determines whether
both VRs are incremented together or independently. With
MODE at logic zero, both wipers are incremented UP or DOWN
without changing the relative settings between the wipers. Also,
the relative ratio between the wipers is preserved if either wiper
reaches the end of the resistor array. In the independent MODE
(Logic 1) only the VR determined by the DACSEL pin is changed.
DACSEL (Logic 0) changes RDAC 1. These inputs, which control the internal up/down counter, can be easily generated with

microcontrollers in front panel interface designs.
The AD5222 is available in the surface-mount (SO-14) package.
For ultracompact solutions, selected models are available in the
thin TSSOP-14 package. All parts are guaranteed to operate
over the extended industrial temperature range of –40°C to
+85°C. For 3-wire, SPI-compatible interface applications, see
the AD5203/AD5204/AD5206, AD7376, and AD8400/AD8402/

NOTES
1Typicals represent average readings at 25°C, V
DD = 5 V.
2Resistor 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. Parts are guaranteed monotonic. See Figure 22 test circuit.
3Wiper resistance is not measured on the R
AB = 1 MΩ models.
4INL and DNL are measured at V with the RDAC configured as a potentiometer divider similar to a voltage output D/A converter. V = V
W
A
DD and VB = 0 V. DNL
specification limits of ±1 LSB maximum are guaranteed monotonic operating conditions. See Figure 21 test circuit.
5Resistor Terminals A, B, W have no limitations on polarity with respect to each other.
6Guaranteed by design and not subject to production test.
7P
DISS is calculated from (I DD × V DD). CMOS logic level inputs result in minimum power dissipation.
8Bandwidth, noise and settling time are dependent on the terminal resistance value chosen. The lowest R value results in the fastest settling time and highest bandwidth.
The highest R value results in the minimum overall power consumption.
9All dynamic characteristics use V
DD = 5 V.
10See timing diagram for location of measured values. All input control voltages are specified with t = t = 2.5 ns (10% to 90% of +3 V) and timed from a voltage level
R
F
of 1.5 V. Switching characteristics are measured using both V DD = 5 V or V DD = 3 V.
Specifications subject to change without notice.

Common Mode (MODE = 0) moves both wipers together either
UP or DOWN the resistor array without changing the relative
distance between the wipers. Also, the distance between both
wipers is preserved if either reaches the end of the array. Independent Mode (MODE = 1) allows user to control each RDAC
individually: DACSEL = 0 sets RDAC1; DACSEL = 1: sets

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the AD5222 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on
devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

AD5222
OPERATION
U/D
The AD5222 provides a 128-position, digitally-controlled, variable
resistor (VR) device. Changing the VR settings is accomplished
by pulsing the CLK pin while CS is active low. The U/D (UP/
DOWN) control input pin controls the direction of the increment.
When the wiper hits the end of the resistor (Terminal A or B)
additional CLK pulses no longer change the wiper setting. The
wiper position is immediately decoded by the wiper decode logic
changing the wiper resistance. Appropriate debounce circuitry is
required when push-button switches are used to control the
count sequence and direction of count. The exact timing requirements are shown in Figure 2. The AD5222 powers ON in a
centered wiper position, exhibiting nearly equal resistances of
RWA and R WB.

DIGITAL INTERFACING OPERATION
VSS
The AD5222 contains a push-button controllable interface. The
active inputs are clock (CLK), CS and up/down (U/D). While
the MODE, and DACSEL pins control common updates or
individual updates. The negative-edge sensitive CLK input
requires clean transitions to avoid clocking multiple pulses into
the internal UP/DOWN counter register, Figure 30. Standard
logic families work well. If mechanical switches are used for
product evaluation a flip-flop or other suitable means should
debounce them. When CS is taken active low, the clock begins
to increment or decrement the internal up/down counter, dependent upon the state of the U/D control pin. The UP/DOWN
counter value (D) starts at 40H at system power ON. Each new
CLK pulse will increment the value of the internal counter by
1 LSB until the full-scale value of 7FH is reached, as long as the
U/D pin is logic high. If the U/D pin is taken to logic low, the
counter will count down, stopping at code 00H (zero-scale).
Additional clock pulses on the CLK pin are ignored when the
wiper is at either the 00H position or the 7F H position. The
detailed digital logic interface circuitry is shown in Figure 30.

PROGRAMMING THE VARIABLE RESISTOR
Rheostat Operation
The nominal resistance of the RDAC between Terminals A and
B are available with values of 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, 100 kΩ, and 1 MΩ
The final three characters of the part number determine the
nominal resistance value, e.g., 10 kΩ = 10; 50 kΩ = 50; 100 kΩ
= 100; 1 MΩ = 1M. The nominal resistance (RAB ) of the VR
has 128 contact points accessed by the wiper terminal, plus the
B terminal contact. At power ON, the resistance from the wiper
to either end Terminal A or B is approximately equal. Pulsing
the CLK pin will increase the resistance from the wiper W to
Terminal B by one unit of RS resistance, see Figure 33. The
resistance RWB is determined by the number of pulses applied to
the clock pin. Each segment of the internal resistor string has a
nominal resistance value of RS = RAB/128, which becomes 78 Ω
in the case of the 10 kΩ AD5222BR10 product. Care should be
taken to limit the current flow between W and B in the direct
contact state (RWB code = 0) to a maximum value of 20 mA to
avoid degradation or possible destruction of the internal switch
contact.
Like the mechanical potentiometer the RDAC replaces, it is
totally symmetrical (see Figure 3). The resistance between the
wiper W and Terminal A also produces a digitally controlled
resistance RWA. When these terminals are used the B-terminal
should be tied to the wiper.
The RBA temperature coefficient increases as the wiper is programmed near the B-terminal due to the larger percentage
contribution of the wiper contact switch resistance, which has a
0.5%/°C temperature coefficient. Figures 9 and 10 show the
effect of the wiper contact resistance as a function of code setting.
PROGRAMMING THE POTENTIOMETER DIVIDER
Voltage Output Operation
The digital potentiometer easily generates an output voltage
proportional to the input voltage applied to a given terminal.
For example connecting A-terminal to 5 V and B-terminal to
ground produces an output voltage at the wiper which can be
any value starting at zero volts up to 1 LSB less than 5 V. Each
LSB of voltage is equal to the voltage applied across Terminals
AB divided by the 128-position resolution of the potentiometer
divider. The general equation defining the output voltage with
respect to ground for any given input voltage applied to Terminals AB is:
VW(D) = D/128 × VAB + VB
D represents the current contents of the internal up/down counter.
Operation of the digital potentiometer in the divider mode
results in more accurate operation over temperature. Here the
output voltage is dependent on the ratio of the internal resistors
not the absolute value, therefore, the drift improves to 20 ppm/°C.
The typical part-to-part distribution of R BA is process-lotdependent having a ± 30% variation. The change in RBA with
temperature has a –35 ppm/°C temperature coefficient.
