Product details
Overview
AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 from Analog Devices is a 256-position I²C-compatible digital potentiometer with 10 kΩ end-to-end resistance, SOT-23-8 package, ±0.25 LSB integral nonlinearity (INL), 45 ppm/°C resistance temperature coefficient, and 2.7 V to 5.5 V single-supply operation-used for precision LCD VCOM adjustment and sensor transducer calibration.
For engineers reviewing the AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 datasheet, AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 pinout, AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 application, or AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C address flexibility via AD0 pin, midscale power-on preset, shutdown mode (<1 µA), low wiper resistance (50–120 Ω), and guaranteed monotonicity in both rheostat and potentiometer modes.
Technical Context
The AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 implements a thin-film resistor ladder with CMOS switch matrix controlled by an 8-bit I²C register. Its architecture supports two operating modes: rheostat (A–W or B–W) and potentiometer divider (A–W–B), with voltage output accuracy dependent on resistor ratio rather than absolute value-enabling 15 ppm/°C tempco in divider mode.
I²C interface compliance includes standard-mode (400 kHz) timing with programmable slave address (7-bit base + AD0 bit), full read/write of wiper register, and dedicated control bits for midscale reset and shutdown-where shutdown opens Terminal A and shorts W to B without altering register contents.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| End-to-end Resistance | 10 kΩ - defines maximum rheostat resistance and sets voltage division range in potentiometer mode |
| Resolution | 256 positions (8-bit) - enables 0.39% step resolution for fine analog tuning |
| INL (Rheostat Mode) | ±0.25 LSB - ensures monotonic resistance change across all taps, critical for closed-loop sensor biasing |
| Tempco (RAB) | 45 ppm/°C - guarantees stable resistance over –40°C to +125°C industrial temperature range |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports direct integration into 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level-shifting |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01–1 µA - enables ultra-low-power standby in battery-operated LCD panels and portable instrumentation |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 400 kHz - allows fast wiper updates (≤2 µs settling) synchronized with host microcontroller timing |
Pinout & Package
AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 uses a compact 8-lead SOT-23-8 package (2.9 mm × 3 mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable electronics and automotive displays.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| W | Wiper terminal | Output node for variable resistance (A–W or B–W) or voltage divider (A–W–B); voltage bounded by GND ≤ VW ≤ VDD |
| VDD | Positive supply | Power rail for logic and resistor ladder; must be powered before applying voltages to A/B/W terminals |
| GND | Digital ground | Reference for I²C signals and internal logic; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| SCL | I²C clock input | Positive-edge-triggered serial clock; requires external pull-up resistor per I²C bus specification |
| SDA | I²C data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional data line; requires external pull-up resistor and supports read/write of wiper register |
| AD0 | Address decode bit | Configures LSB of 7-bit I²C slave address, enabling up to two AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 devices on same bus |
| B | Resistor terminal | Low-side connection in rheostat mode or ground reference in potentiometer mode; voltage bounded by GND ≤ VB ≤ VDD |
| A | Resistor terminal | High-side connection in rheostat mode or VDD reference in potentiometer mode; voltage bounded by GND ≤ VA ≤ VDD |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-on midscale preset | Automatically initializes wiper to code 0x80 (5 kΩ at 10 kΩ RAB), eliminating startup uncertainty in fault-tolerant systems |
| Shutdown mode | Opens Terminal A and shorts W to B, reducing power to <1 µA while preserving register state for instant recovery |
| Low wiper resistance | 50–120 Ω typical - minimizes insertion loss and signal distortion in RF amplifier bias networks |
| Guaranteed monotonicity | R-DNL ≤ ±1 LSB - ensures no step reversals during wiper sweeps, essential for closed-loop gain control loops |
| Ratio-based tempco | 15 ppm/°C in potentiometer mode - achieves superior thermal stability vs. absolute-resistance rheostat mode (45 ppm/°C) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX5487ETE+T | 256-tap, 10 kΩ, SPI interface, TDFN-8, 1 µA shutdown current | Requires SPI host instead of I²C; lacks AD0 address pin for multi-device bus | Preferred when existing design uses SPI peripherals and board layout accommodates TDFN package |

FAQ
What is the power-on behavior of the AD5245BRJZ10-RL7?
The AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 automatically presets its wiper to midscale (code 0x80) at power-up, delivering 5 kΩ resistance between terminals A and W (or B and W) for a 10 kΩ device. This behavior eliminates startup uncertainty and simplifies system initialization-no external configuration is needed. The AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 maintains this default unless overwritten via I²C command, ensuring predictable analog output during boot sequences in LCD and sensor applications.
Does the AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 support multiple devices on the same I²C bus?
Yes, the AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 supports up to two devices on a shared I²C bus using the AD0 pin to configure the LSB of the 7-bit slave address. With AD0 tied to GND or VDD, the device responds to addresses 0x2C or 0x2D respectively-enabling independent control without bus contention. This feature is confirmed in the AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 datasheet Table 10 and functional block diagram, making it ideal for multi-channel calibration systems.
What is the maximum voltage allowed across terminals A, B, and W of the AD5245BRJZ10-RL7?
The AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 specifies that voltages at terminals A, B, and W must remain within the GND to VDD range, with absolute maximum ratings limiting terminal-to-GND voltage to VDD (not exceeding +7 V). Exceeding VDD risks forward-biasing internal ESD diodes, potentially powering VDD unintentionally. This constraint is explicitly defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (Table 4) and Terminal Voltage Operating Range section of the AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 datasheet.
How does shutdown mode affect the wiper position and terminal connections in the AD5245BRJZ10-RL7?
In shutdown mode, the AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 opens Terminal A and shorts the wiper (W) to Terminal B, resulting in near-zero resistance between W and B in rheostat mode or 0 V output in potentiometer mode. Critically, the wiper register contents are preserved-so exiting shutdown restores the prior setting instantly. This behavior is documented in the I²C Interface section and confirmed by the functional description of the SD bit in the AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 datasheet.
Can the AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 operate from a 3.3 V supply while maintaining full specifications?
Yes, the AD5245BRJZ10-RL7 operates fully across 2.7 V to 5.5 V, including 3.3 V nominal supplies. All key specs-including ±0.25 LSB INL, 45 ppm/°C tempco, 400 kHz I²C timing, and 8 µA supply current-are guaranteed from –40°C to +125°C at 3 V ±10%. Electrical Characteristics Tables 1 and 2 explicitly list performance under 3 V conditions, confirming compatibility with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and portable systems using the AD5245BRJZ10-RL7.
