●GENERAL DESCRIPTION
●The AD5235-EP is a dual-channel, nonvolatile memory,digitally controlled potentiometer 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 EEMEM for user-defined information such as
●memory data for other components, look-up tables, or system identification information.
