GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This user guide describes the evaluation board for evaluating the
—a quad-channel, 256-position, nonvolatile memory,
digital potentiometer. With versatile programmability, the
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 read-
back, and extra EEMEM for storing user-defined information,
such as memory data for other components or a lookup table.
The
supports a dual-supply ±2.25 V to ±2.75 V operation
and a single-supply 2.3 V to 5.5 V operation, making the device
suitable for battery-powered applications and many other appli-
cations. In addition, the
uses a versatile SPI-compatible
serial interface, allowing speeds of up to 50 MHz. The
can operate in single-supply or dual-supply mode
and incorporates an internal power supply from the USB.
Complete specifications for the
part can be found in the
data sheet, which is available from Analog Devices, Inc.,
and should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide
when using the evaluation board.
