Data Acquisition - Digital Potentiometers

Digital Potentiometers provide an intelligent and cost-effective solution for precision analog control and data acquisition. These devices are fast and accurate, consuming minimal power, and offer a wide range of applications for a variety of sensors such as thermistors and thermometers, photodiode arrays, capacitive proximity sensors, LVDT positioners and many more. The AD5248BRM2.5-RL7 is an example of a digital potentiometer that features a rotating mechanical element to control input and output variables. This useful device simplifies the process of analog control, data acquisition and loop regulation.The AD5248BRM2.5-RL7 is an adjustable level resistor module that has a single analogue output and two control inputs. This digital potentiometer works in the same way as an analog potentiometer, where an adjustable “pot” sets the level of the output. The difference is that the output from the digital potentiometer is adjustable digitally through a digital input. The digital output also provides better accuracy than an analog potentiometer. This improved accuracy is due to the fact that the digital potentiometer can be calibrated and tested for maximum resolution, a feature not available with an analog potentiometer.The AD5248BRM2.5-RL7 is most commonly used in applications requiring continuous control, such as motor speed and pressure control. It is also suitable for switched applications, and can switch between two different voltage levels with less than 2% variation in output voltage. The digital potentiometer features a low on-resistance of 2.5 Ω, and can be used to regulate current in applications where varying resistance is required.In addition to its high accuracy, the AD5248BRM2.5-RL7 also features a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. It is also capable of withstanding up to 2kV of ESD and operating in a wide range of voltages from ±2.5V up to ±14V. The low power consumption of the device ensures it can easily integrate into high-density, compact systems.The AD5248BRM2.5-RL7 digital potentiometer is a reliable and cost effective solution for precision analog control and data acquisition. Its small size and low power consumption make it well suited for applications that require continuous or switched control. The device is designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures and voltages, and is also capable of withstanding up to 2kV of ESD. This digital potentiometer provides improved accuracy compared to an analog potentiometer, and features a low on-resistance of 2.5Ω. It is most commonly used in applications that require precision control, such as motor speed and pressure control.
