Analog Devices AD5259 Digital Potentiometer Datasheet
The AD5259 digital potentiometer provides 256‑position adjustment in a compact LFCSP‑10 or MSOP‑10 package. It features nonvolatile memory that retains wiper settings, EEPROM‑stored tolerance, and a VIOAIC pin for flexible interfacing. Up to four devices can share a single I²C bus using address pins ADO and AD1.
The device operates from a single 3 V or 5 V supply, supports end‑to‑end resistances of 5 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, or 100 kΩ, and is rated for a temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C. Data retention is specified for 100 years at 55 °C, and EEPROM endurance exceeds 700 k cycles.
