AD5231BRU50

The AD5231BRU50 is a digital potentiometer (DPOT) from the family of digital potentiometers produced by Analog Devices. It is a simple digitally programmable resistor integrated circuit, whose resistance is user-adjustable through a simple I2C or SPI communication interface. This DPOT also provides readback, allowing for fast and accurate measurements of specified resistance. It can sense two independent voltages, allowing for full six-wire control using calibrated voltage and current sources for thermal measurements.

Application Field

The AD5231BRU50 is used extensively in data acquisition, where accurate measurements and control of analog signals require precise control of a virtual resistor. It is particularly useful in applications such as motor and amplifier control, temperature control, and sensor interface where efficient, reliable operation is required. It is also used in applications that require flexible use of multiple digital potentiometers to control multiple analog signals with a single, common control interface.

Working Principle

The AD5231BRU50 works by using a single digital pin to control its on-chip resistor. This digital pin is usually connected to a voltage source, or a low-power digital logic circuit, allowing the chip to sense the applied voltage. In this way, the chip can be used to precisely control the resistance in the circuit, providing accurate and stable measurements. The chip can also be used to control the gain or frequency of a signal, as well as the current flow through a circuit, precisely, through user-programmable wiper registers.

In addition to the on-chip resistor, the chip includes four other components: a bi-directional current-sense amplifier, a dual-input comparator, a charge pump, and an in-amp. The current-sense amplifier is used to sense the resistance of the on-chip resistor and to adjust its value while the charge pump and in-amp provide power to the chip and adjust the resistance levels, respectively. Finally, the comparator is used to compare the voltage and current levels of the chip and the on-chip resistor to provide accurate readings of the resistance and to adjust the resistance accordingly.

The AD5231BRU50 combines the flexibility of a digital potentiometer with excellent signal-to-noise ratio and wide dynamic range, making it a desirable choice for small and large-scale applications alike. Its small size and low power consumption make it suitable for use in portable and battery-powered devices, as well as in test and measurement equipment.
