Product details
Overview
AD5171BRJZ100-R7 from Analog Devices is a 64-position, one-time programmable (OTP) digital potentiometer in SOT-23-8 package, featuring 100 kΩ end-to-end resistance, 5 ppm/°C tempco in potentiometer mode, I²C-compatible interface, and automotive-grade operation from −40°C to +125°C. It replaces mechanical trimmers in factory-set calibration circuits where permanent resistance setting is required.
For engineers reviewing the AD5171BRJZ100-R7 datasheet, AD5171BRJZ100-R7 pinout, AD5171BRJZ100-R7 application, or AD5171BRJZ100-R7 equivalent, key selection criteria include OTP validation status, wiper resistance (≤115 Ω), ±0.5 LSB DNL in potentiometer mode, 60 kHz −3 dB bandwidth at 100 kΩ, and VDD_OTP compliance (4.75–5.25 V) for fuse programming.
Technical Context
The AD5171BRJZ100-R7 implements fuse-link OTP memory using six data fuses, one test fuse, and one programming lock fuse-enabling irreversible, nonvolatile wiper position storage after a single 400 ms VDD_OTP pulse. Its I²C interface supports standard-mode (400 kHz) timing with AD0 address bit enabling dual-device bus configuration.
In potentiometer mode, it delivers ratiometric voltage division with 5 ppm/°C tempco at code 0x20 and full-scale error ≤0 LSB for 10 kΩ/50 kΩ/100 kΩ variants; in rheostat mode, it exhibits 35 ppm/°C resistance tempco and supports ≤5 mA continuous terminal current with RW ≤115 Ω.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| End-to-End Resistance | 100 kΩ - defines maximum adjustable resistance between A and B terminals; determines bandwidth (60 kHz) and power handling. |
| Resolution | 6-bit (64 positions) - enables discrete wiper control with 1.56% step size; supports monotonic adjustment per guaranteed DNL. |
| Temperature Coefficient (Pot Mode) | 5 ppm/°C at code 0x20 - ensures stable voltage division ratio across −40°C to +125°C; critical for precision sensor biasing. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 400 kHz - compatible with standard-mode controllers; enables fast factory programming before OTP activation. |
| OTP Supply Voltage | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - strict window required to reliably blow fuses; mandates external supply if system VDD < 4.75 V. |
| Wiper Resistance | 60 Ω to 115 Ω - contributes directly to zero-scale error and thermal noise; limits minimum achievable RWB to ~60 Ω. |
| Supply Current (IDD) | 4 μA to 10 μA - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed calibration circuits. |
Pinout & Package
AD5171BRJZ100-R7 is housed in an 8-lead SOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 1.9 mm × 2.8 mm footprint and 1.1 mm height. Pin 1 (W) is marked by a dot; device orientation follows standard SOT-23 top-view convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (W) | Wiper terminal | Output node for variable resistance/voltage; voltage constrained to GND ≤ VW ≤ VDD; drives load in pot/rheostat configurations. |
| 2 (VDD) | Positive power supply | Operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V; must be 4.75–5.25 V during OTP programming; supplies 100 mA peak for fuse blow. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for analog and digital sections; decoupling capacitor required near pin for noise immunity. |
| 4 (SCL) | I²C clock input | Open-drain input requiring external pull-up; VIH ≥ 0.7×VDD; timing-critical for 400 kHz bus operation. |
| 5 (SDA) | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain I/O requiring external pull-up; supports read/write of wiper register and OTP validation bits E1/E0. |
| 6 (AD0) | Device address bit | Sets LSB of 7-bit I²C address (0x2C or 0x2D); enables two AD5171 devices on same bus without address conflict. |
| 7 (B) | Resistor terminal B | Fixed end of resistor ladder; used with W in rheostat mode or with A/W in potentiometer divider configuration. |
| 8 (A) | Resistor terminal A | Fixed end of resistor ladder; tied to VDD in standard pot mode; polarity unrestricted relative to B/W. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| One-time programmable (OTP) memory | Fuse-link technology provides irreversible, nonvolatile wiper setting-eliminates need for EEPROM and reduces cost vs. reprogrammable RDACs. |
| Low potentiometer tempco | 5 ppm/°C at mid-code enables stable gain/offset calibration in automotive temperature range without software compensation. |
| Full read/write capability | Allows unlimited pre-OTP wiper adjustments and post-programming verification of E1/E0 validation bits to confirm fuse status. |
| Automotive-grade operating range | Guaranteed functionality from −40°C to +125°C meets AEC-Q100 stress requirements for under-hood electronics. |
| Compact SOT-23-8 package | Enables space-constrained PCB layouts in engine control units, ADAS sensors, and infotainment subsystems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5170BRJZ100-R7 | No OTP function; uses volatile register only; identical pinout, specs, and 100 kΩ resistance. | Requires host MCU to reload wiper value at each power-up; unsuitable for set-and-forget factory calibration. | Select when field reconfiguration is needed; avoid if permanent setting is mandatory. |
| MCP41HV51-104E/SN | 100 kΩ, 256-step, SPI interface, EEPROM-based nonvolatile memory; 6.5 V max VDD; no automotive temp grade. | Supports multiple reprogramming cycles; lacks −40°C to +125°C guarantee and OTP validation bits. | Choose for prototyping or non-automotive designs needing reprogrammability; verify temp range fit. |
Compared with AD5171BRJZ100-R7, AD5170BRJZ100-R7 offers identical analog performance but zero nonvolatility, while MCP41HV51-104E/SN adds reprogrammability at the cost of automotive qualification and OTP reliability assurance.

FAQ
What does the "R7" suffix in AD5171BRJZ100-R7 indicate?
The "R7" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per JEDEC standard: 3,000 units per reel, compatible with automated SMT placement equipment. This packaging format applies specifically to the AD5171BRJZ100-R7 variant and ensures consistent handling during high-volume manufacturing of automotive control modules.
Can AD5171BRJZ100-R7 be reprogrammed after OTP activation?
No. Once the OTP fuse is blown, the wiper position is permanently locked. The AD5171BRJZ100-R7 validation bits (E1/E0 = 11) confirm successful programming, and further write attempts to the wiper register are ignored. Attempting to re-blow fuses risks fatal error (E1/E0 = 10) and device discard.
What is the maximum allowable voltage across terminals A, B, and W of AD5171BRJZ100-R7?
The AD5171BRJZ100-R7 specifies VA, VB, and VW must remain within GND to VDD per Absolute Maximum Ratings. With VDD = 5.5 V max, the maximum differential voltage between any two terminals is 5.5 V. Exceeding this risks permanent damage to internal switches or fuse structures.
How does the 100 kΩ end-to-end resistance affect bandwidth in AD5171BRJZ100-R7?
At 100 kΩ, the AD5171BRJZ100-R7 achieves a −3 dB bandwidth of 60 kHz (code = 0x20). This is the lowest bandwidth among its resistance variants (5 kΩ yields 1.5 MHz); users selecting AD5171BRJZ100-R7 must verify signal frequency content stays below 60 kHz to avoid attenuation in filter or gain-control applications.
Is AD5171BRJZ100-R7 qualified to AEC-Q100 standards?
While AD5171BRJZ100-R7 is specified and tested over the automotive temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) and packaged in automotive-grade SOT-23, Analog Devices does not list formal AEC-Q100 qualification for this part. Designers requiring certified qualification should consult latest manufacturer documentation or consider AD5175 series alternatives.
