AD5173BRMZ50-RL7

The AD5173BRMZ50-RL7 is a 10K Ohm digital potentiometer, or DigiPot, that is commonly used in data acquisition systems. It is a single-channel device with a microcontroller interface. This potentiometer is capable of providing analog voltage control from a digital input by converting a digital signal into an analog voltage.

The AD5173BRMZ50-RL7 is a field-effect transistor (FET) based DigiPot that provides an accurately controlled output voltage with a resolution of 0.5%, in an 8-pin package. It has a wide operation range from -40°C to +85°C. Furthermore, its operating voltage is from 2.7V to 5.5V and its current consumption is only 30nA.

This part is designed to provide two different types of operation in data acquisition systems. One is the linear taper mode where the output voltage is linearly increased or decreased by stages as the digital input steps increase. The second is the logarithmic taper mode where the output voltage increases or decreases logarithmically with the same input steps.

The AD5173BRMZ50-RL7 also offers various features and benefits. It has built-in temperature-sensing and power-on reset circuits, an integrated circuit latch, and an internal voltage reference. It also offers a low-power shutdown mode and a fast settling time for the output. Every device is factory-programmed with an external EEPROM to the desired output impedance and accuracy. Furthermore, the parts are automatically trimmed to maximize linearity and accuracy over temperature and voltage range.

The AD5173BRMZ50-RL7 offers a high-performance, cost-effective way to implement applications in data acquisition systems. As such, it is well-suited for use in power management, control systems, and audio systems. Furthermore, it can be used in automotive, industrial, medical, and communication applications.

In summary, the AD5173BRMZ50-RL7 digital potentiometer is an ideal solution for applications in data acquisition systems. It offers an easy-to-use, cost-effective, and reliable method of digitally controlling the output voltage of an analog voltage control process. The device\'s wide operating range and built-in circuitry provide high performance without increasing overall system cost.
