ANALOG DEVICES AD5160 256-Position SPI Compatible Digital Potentiometer handbook
The AD5160 is a compact digital potentiometer designed for applications requiring electronic adjustment where mechanical potentiometers are used. It features an 8-bit resolution and offers end-to-end resistance options of 5 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, or 100 kΩ.
The device operates with a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V and includes a power-on preset feature that sets the wiper to midscale upon startup. It is controlled via an SPI-compatible interface and is suitable for use in automotive electronics, RF amplifier biasing, and sensor transducer adjustments.
