Analog Devices AD5172/AD5173 Datasheet

The 256-position, one-time programmable dual-channel I2C digital potentiometers AD5172/AD5173 provide a low-cost alternative for setting and fixing resistance. It allows unlimited adjustments prior to OTP activation and dynamic adjustments with user-defined presets through OTP overwrite. The potentiometers feature end-to-end resistance options of 2.5 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, and 100 kΩ, fast settling time, single supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V, and other characteristics.

About this manual

The Analog Devices AD5172/AD5173 are dual-channel, 256-position, one-time programmable (OTP) digital potentiometers that employ fuse link technology. These devices offer a cost-effective alternative to EEPROM-based memory for users who do not need to program the resistance setting more than once.

The components feature end-to-end resistances of 2.5 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, and 100 kΩ in compact MSOP-10 packages. They operate with a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V and include a unique temporary OTP overwrite feature that allows for new adjustments even after the fuse has been blown.
