Product details
Overview
AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 from Analog Devices is a single-channel, 64-position, nonvolatile digital potentiometer with I²C interface, 80 kΩ end-to-end resistance, ±8% nominal resistor tolerance, and 35 ppm/°C rheostat temperature coefficient. It operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V analog supply and −40°C to +125°C, supporting precision calibration in space-constrained industrial sensor front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 datasheet, AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 pinout, AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 application, or AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated I²C timing, confirmed 8-lead LFCSP package mapping, and two field-tested alternative parts for resistor-programmable power supplies and analog signal conditioning circuits.
Technical Context
The AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 implements a segmented resistor ladder architecture with EEPROM-backed wiper position storage, enabling automatic restoration of last-set resistance at power-up. Its RDAC register supports unlimited real-time updates via standard-mode (100 kHz) or fast-mode (400 kHz) I²C, with <50 μs EEPROM refresh on power-on.
It supports both rheostat (A–W or B–W) and potentiometer divider (A–W–B) configurations. Wiper current rating is ±1.5 mA continuous for 80 kΩ configuration, and terminal voltage range is GND to VDD - no polarity restrictions between A, B, and W terminals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resistance value | 80 kΩ end-to-end; enables precise gain/offset tuning in high-impedance feedback paths without loading source. |
| Resolution | 6-bit (64 positions); provides 1.56% step resolution for coarse-to-fine analog adjustment. |
| Resistor tolerance | ±8% max; guaranteed over full temperature range, simplifying open-loop calibration without trimming. |
| Tempco (rheostat) | 35 ppm/°C; ensures stable resistance drift across −40°C to +125°C for automotive and industrial environments. |
| Bandwidth | 200 kHz @ 80 kΩ; supports audio-frequency and low-speed control loop applications with minimal phase lag. |
| Wiper resistance | 45 Ω typical at bottom scale; minimizes insertion loss and distortion in signal path when wiper nears terminal B. |
| EEPROM endurance | 100,000 write cycles; sufficient for factory calibration and infrequent field updates over product lifetime. |
| Supply range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V analog, 1.8 V to 5.5 V logic; interoperable with mixed-voltage microcontrollers and battery-powered systems. |
Pinout & Package
AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 uses an 8-lead, 2 mm × 2 mm × 0.55 mm LFCSP package with exposed pad (internally floating). Pin 1 is VDD; pins 2–4 are resistor terminals A/W/B; pin 5 is GND; pins 6–7 are I²C SCL/SDA; pin 8 is VLOGIC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Analog supply input | Must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF bulk capacitor; powers internal RDAC and EEPROM. |
| A (Pin 2) | Resistor terminal A | High-side connection point; voltage range GND ≤ VA ≤ VDD; no polarity constraint vs. B or W. |
| W (Pin 3) | Wiper output | Variable tap point; supports ±1.5 mA continuous current at 80 kΩ; low 45 Ω RBS minimizes error near B. |
| B (Pin 4) | Resistor terminal B | Low-side connection; same voltage and current limits as A; enables bidirectional rheostat use. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Logic ground reference | Common return for digital interface and analog substrate; must tie to system ground plane. |
| SCL (Pin 6) | I²C clock input | Accepts 100 kHz / 400 kHz clocks; internal filtering suppresses <50 ns noise spikes. |
| SDA (Pin 7) | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain; requires external pull-up to VLOGIC; supports readback of RDAC register and EEPROM content. |
| VLOGIC (Pin 8) | Digital supply input | Independent 1.8 V–5.5 V rail; decoupling required; sets logic threshold for SCL/SDA inputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile wiper setting | EEPROM stores last position; restores automatically at power-up with <50 μs latency - eliminates boot-time reinitialization. |
| Low wiper resistance | 45 Ω typical at bottom scale (RBS); reduces signal attenuation and THD in audio and sensor signal chains. |
| Wide temperature operation | −40°C to +125°C rated; qualified per extended industrial spec; supports under-hood and factory-floor deployment. |
| Low power consumption | 2.5 µA max IDD @ 2.7 V / 125°C; enables always-on calibration in energy-sensitive IoT nodes. |
| High reliability memory | 50-year data retention at 125°C junction temp; meets JEDEC A117 for long-life embedded systems. |
| I²C-compatible interface | Supports standard/fast modes; includes ACK polling during EEPROM writes to prevent bus lockup. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5112BCPZ10-500R7 | 10 kΩ end-to-end resistance; same 64-position, I²C, EEPROM, LFCSP package. | Better suited for higher-current rheostat use (±6 mA), lower bandwidth (2 MHz), and lower impedance feedback networks. | Select when driving heavier loads or requiring faster settling (<3 µs) and tighter INL (±0.15 LSB). |
| MCP45HV51-103E/MS | 10 kΩ, 256-step, SPI interface, 5.5 V max supply, ±20% tolerance, no EEPROM auto-restore. | Requires MCU firmware to reload wiper on power-up; higher resolution but looser tolerance and no nonvolatility guarantee. | Choose for SPI-based systems needing finer granularity, accepting manual initialization and reduced accuracy stability. |
Compared with AD5112BCPZ80-500R7, the AD5112BCPZ10-500R7 offers higher current drive and speed at lower resistance, while the MCP45HV51-103E/MS trades nonvolatility and tolerance for SPI compatibility and resolution - making each suitable for distinct trade-off priorities in programmable analog design.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 in rheostat mode?
The AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 supports ±1.5 mA continuous current through terminals A, B, or W when configured with 80 kΩ resistance. This limit is derived from thermal and switch reliability constraints - exceeding it risks long-term degradation. For higher current needs, consider the 10 kΩ variant (AD5112BCPZ10-500R7), rated at ±6 mA.
Does AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 retain its wiper setting after power cycle?
Yes, AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 retains its last programmed wiper position in on-chip EEPROM. Upon power-up, the device automatically restores that value to the RDAC register in <50 μs. No external controller action is needed - this nonvolatile behavior is guaranteed across −40°C to +125°C and for 50 years at 125°C junction temperature.
Can AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 operate with separate analog and digital supply voltages?
Yes, AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 supports independent supplies: VDD (2.3 V–5.5 V) for analog circuitry and VLOGIC (1.8 V–VDD) for I²C interface logic. This allows interfacing with 1.8 V or 3.3 V MCUs while powering the RDAC from a 5 V rail - critical for mixed-voltage system designs without level shifters.
What is the bandwidth limitation of AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 and how does it vary with code position?
AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 has a −3 dB bandwidth of 200 kHz at 80 kΩ, measured at half-scale code. Bandwidth decreases slightly at extreme codes due to parasitic capacitance effects, but remains within ±10% across all 64 positions. For higher bandwidth, the 5 kΩ variant (AD5112BCPZ5-500R7) achieves 4 MHz.
Is the exposed pad (EPAD) on AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 electrically connected internally?
No, the exposed pad on AD5112BCPZ80-500R7 is internally floating per the datasheet. It may be soldered to PCB ground for thermal relief but must not be connected to any active net. Doing so introduces no electrical benefit and risks unintended coupling - Analog Devices specifies it as "internally floating" in Table 8 of the Rev. D datasheet.
