Technical specifications for the AD5204 (4‑channel) and AD5206 (6‑channel) 256‑position digital potentiometers.
The AD5204 and AD5206 are 4‑channel and 6‑channel, 256‑position digital potentiometers that provide SPI‑compatible serial programming. Each channel contains a fixed resistor with a cursor tap that can be positioned linearly via an 8‑bit digital code.
The devices operate from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply or a ±2.7 V dual supply, support a wide temperature range, and are offered in several 24‑lead surface‑mount packages (SOIC, TSSOP, PDIP) and a 32‑lead LFCSP for the AD5204.
