Product details
Overview
AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 from Analog Devices is a single-channel, 256-position, nonvolatile digital potentiometer with I²C/SPI interface, 100 kΩ end-to-end resistance, ±8% resistor tolerance, and 35 ppm/°C temperature coefficient. It operates from −40°C to +125°C and supports dual-supply (±2.25 V to ±2.75 V) or single-supply (2.3 V to 5.5 V) configurations. It is used in programmable power supplies for precise output voltage trimming.
For engineers reviewing the AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 datasheet, AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 pinout, AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 application, or AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include wiper current rating (±1.5 mA at 100 kΩ), EEPROM endurance (100 kcycles), fast settling time (12 µs), and automotive qualification per AEC-Q100.
Technical Context
The AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 implements a segmented thin-film resistor array with CMOS switch matrix and on-chip EEPROM for nonvolatile wiper position storage. Its RDAC architecture supports both rheostat (A–W or B–W) and potentiometer divider (A–W–B) modes, with independent programming of RAW and RWB strings enabled by the INDEP pin.
It features dual digital interfaces: SPI (CPOL=0/1, CPHA=0/1) and I²C (standard/fast mode), selected via the DIS pin. The LRDAC pin enables asynchronous update of the RDAC register from the input shift register, decoupling command execution from clock timing.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 uses a 3 mm × 3 mm, 16-lead LFCSP package with exposed pad (EPAD) for thermal management. Pin 1 is GND; EPAD must be connected to VSS or left unconnected but thermally coupled to PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Logic ground reference | Common return for digital interface and internal logic; must be low-impedance connection |
| A (Pin 2) | Resistor terminal A | High-side end of 100 kΩ resistor string; supports bipolar voltage swing (VSS ≤ VA ≤ VDD) |
| W (Pin 3) | Wiper terminal | Programmable tap point; wiper resistance ≤400 Ω at zero/full scale; handles ±1.5 mA |
| B (Pin 4) | Resistor terminal B | Low-side end of resistor string; polarity agnostic relative to A/W; enables bidirectional signal routing |
| VSS (Pin 5) | Negative supply rail | Required for dual-supply operation; decouple with 0.1 µF + 10 µF capacitors |
| SYNC/ADDR0 (Pin 6) | SPI sync input / I²C address bit 0 | Active-low load strobe for SPI; sets LSB of I²C address when DIS = 1 |
| RESET (Pin 7) | Hardware reset | Forces RDAC register reload from EEPROM on falling edge; ties to VLOGIC if unused |
| DIS (Pin 8) | Digital interface select | DIS = 0 → SPI; DIS = 1 → I²C; must not float; defines protocol and pin function mapping |
| VDD (Pin 9) | Positive supply rail | Primary analog/digital power; decouple with 0.1 µF + 10 µF capacitors |
| VLOGIC (Pin 10) | Independent logic supply | 1.8 V to 5.5 V; isolates interface voltage from analog rails; reduces noise coupling |
| SCLK/SCL (Pin 11) | Clock input | Shared SCLK (SPI) or SCL (I²C); edge-triggered; supports up to 400 kHz I²C or >10 MHz SPI |
| SDI/SDA (Pin 12) | Data I/O | SDI (SPI input) or SDA (I²C bidirectional); open-drain for I²C; requires external pull-up |
| WP (Pin 13) | Write protect | Logic-low disables EEPROM and RDAC writes except LRDAC-triggered reload; ties to VLOGIC if unused |
| SDO/ADDR1 (Pin 14) | Data output / I²C address bit 1 | Open-drain SDO (SPI) or MSB of I²C address; requires pull-up for SPI operation |
| INDEP (Pin 15) | Linear gain setting mode enable | Hardwired at power-up to enable independent RAW/RWB programming; cannot be disabled in software |
| LRDAC (Pin 16) | Load RDAC register | Asynchronous latch control; falling edge transfers input register to active RDAC; ties to VLOGIC if unused |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5121BCPZ100-RL7 | 128-position (7-bit), same 100 kΩ resistance, identical LFCSP package and pinout | Lower resolution limits fine-tuning capability in precision power supply trimming | Select when 0.78% step size suffices and cost sensitivity outweighs resolution needs |
| MCP45HV51-104E/MS | 256-position, 100 kΩ, SPI-only, 5.5 V max VDD, no dual-supply support | Lacks ±2.75 V dual-rail operation and automotive qualification; lower ESD rating (2 kV HBM) | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial designs without bipolar signal requirements or AEC-Q100 mandate |
Compared with AD5121BCPZ100-RL7, the AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 offers higher resolution for tighter closed-loop control, while MCP45HV51-104E/MS trades automotive robustness and supply flexibility for lower unit cost in single-supply applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum wiper current rating for AD5141BCPZ100-RL7?
The AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 supports ±1.5 mA continuous wiper current when configured with 100 kΩ end-to-end resistance. This limit ensures safe operation within the device's power dissipation and switch reliability specifications. Exceeding this current may cause irreversible degradation of the wiper contact resistance. The AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 datasheet specifies this value under "Maximum Continuous Current" in Table 3.
Does AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 support dual-supply operation?
Yes, AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 supports true dual-supply operation with VDD ranging from +2.25 V to +2.75 V and VSS from −2.25 V to −2.75 V, enabling ground-referenced bipolar signal adjustment. This allows terminals A, W, and B to swing symmetrically around 0 V, which is essential for AC-coupled audio and sensor signal conditioning. The AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 maintains full functionality-including EEPROM access and interface communication-under dual-supply conditions.
How does the INDEP pin affect AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 operation?
The INDEP pin on AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 enables linear gain setting mode at power-up, allowing independent programming of RAW and RWB resistor strings for precise ratio matching. Once asserted high at startup, INDEP cannot be disabled in software. This feature is critical for applications like programmable instrumentation amplifiers where gain accuracy depends on matched resistor ratios rather than absolute values. The AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 leverages this mode to achieve sub-0.1% matching in calibrated systems.
What is the EEPROM endurance and data retention for AD5141BCPZ100-RL7?
The AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 EEPROM is rated for 100,000 write cycles with 5 years of data retention at that endurance level, or 50 years at 1,000 cycles-per JEDEC Standard A117. Retention degrades with junction temperature and write cycle count; at 125°C junction temperature, lifetime scales inversely with activation energy (1 eV). The AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 uses Flash/EE memory architecture validated for automotive use, making it suitable for infrequent but mission-critical calibration storage.
Can AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 operate with a 1.8 V logic supply?
Yes, AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 supports VLOGIC from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, independent of VDD/VSS. At 1.8 V, input thresholds adjust to 0.8 × VLOGIC (high) and 0.2 × VLOGIC (low), ensuring reliable interface operation with ultra-low-power MCUs. This capability eliminates level-shifting circuitry in battery-powered systems. The AD5141BCPZ100-RL7 maintains full SPI/I²C functionality and timing compliance across the entire VLOGIC range.
