Product details
Overview
AD5247BKS10-R2 from Analog Devices is a 128-position I²C-compatible digital potentiometer in SC70-6 package, with 10 kΩ end-to-end resistance, ±0.25 LSB integral nonlinearity (potentiometer mode), and 45 ppm/°C temperature coefficient. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, consumes 3 μA typical supply current, and powers on at midscale - used for precision gain control and sensor biasing in industrial and automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD5247BKS10-R2 datasheet, AD5247BKS10-R2 pinout, AD5247BKS10-R2 application, or AD5247BKS10-R2 equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C slave address compatibility (0x5E), wiper resistance ≤300 Ω at code 0x00, guaranteed monotonicity, and operation across –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The AD5247BKS10-R2 implements a 7-bit RDAC ladder with fixed 10 kΩ end-to-end resistance and hard-coded I²C slave address 0x5E (A6–A0 = 0101110). Its wiper register supports full read/write access, enabling dynamic reconfiguration without external memory. Power-on reset defaults to code 0x40 (midscale), eliminating startup uncertainty in closed-loop systems.
In potentiometer divider mode, output voltage follows VW = VA × D/128 (D = decimal code), with voltage-divider temperature coefficient of 15 ppm/°C - significantly lower than rheostat-mode drift. The device guarantees monotonicity per Table 2 (±0.25 LSB INL, ±0.1 LSB DNL) and supports bidirectional terminal voltages between GND and VDD.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| End-to-end resistance | 10 kΩ ±20% - defines maximum programmable resistance range in rheostat mode and sets voltage division ratio in potentiometer mode. |
| Wiper resistance (code 0x00) | ≤300 Ω - limits minimum achievable resistance between W and B; impacts zero-scale error and current handling in low-resistance configurations. |
| Integral nonlinearity (INL) | ±0.25 LSB (potentiometer mode) - ensures <0.2% full-scale voltage error across all 128 codes, critical for precision analog feedback paths. |
| I²C clock frequency | Up to 400 kHz - compatible with standard-mode I²C buses; enables fast wiper updates (<2 μs settling) without requiring high-speed controller support. |
| Supply current | 3 μA typical at 25°C - enables integration into always-on battery-powered nodes (e.g., sensor transmitters) with multi-year runtime. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and harsh-environment instrumentation. |
| Temperature coefficient | 45 ppm/°C (rheostat), 15 ppm/°C (divider) - enables stable gain/bias over temperature; divider mode reduces drift by factor of 3 via ratiometric operation. |
Pinout & Package
AD5247BKS10-R2 uses an ultracompact SC70-6 package (2.0 mm × 2.1 mm × 0.9 mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Positive power supply input | Accepts 2.7 V to 5.5 V; powers internal logic and RDAC switches; must be bypassed with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Digital ground reference and B-terminal connection | Serves as return path for digital interface and establishes B-terminal voltage; no separate B pin - B is internally tied to GND. |
| SCL (Pin 3) | I²C serial clock input | Positive-edge-triggered; requires external pull-up; supports standard-mode (400 kHz) timing per Table 3. |
| SDA (Pin 4) | I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain output with internal weak pull-down; shares bus with other I²C devices; requires external pull-up resistor. |
| W (Pin 5) | Wiper terminal | Provides variable resistance node between A and B; output impedance varies with code; supports ±5 mA continuous current. |
| A (Pin 6) | Fixed resistor terminal A | One end of 10 kΩ resistor string; voltage range limited to GND ≤ VA ≤ VDD; polarity unrestricted relative to W or B. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-on preset to midscale | Automatically initializes wiper to code 0x40 at power-up, eliminating need for host MCU initialization sequence in safety-critical or fail-safe designs. |
| I²C full read/write capability | Enables real-time monitoring of wiper position and dynamic recalibration - essential for closed-loop compensation in amplifier biasing and sensor trimming. |
| Guaranteed monotonicity | Ensures output resistance or voltage increases strictly with code value (no step reversals), preventing instability in feedback-controlled circuits. |
| Low 15 ppm/°C divider tempco | Reduces temperature-induced gain drift in voltage-divider applications (e.g., ADC reference scaling), outperforming discrete resistor networks. |
| SC70-6 footprint | Enables placement in <3 mm² board area - ideal for compact modules like automotive seat controllers, portable medical sensors, and IoT edge nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5248BKS10-RL7 | Same 10 kΩ SC70-6 digital potentiometer but with dual-channel architecture (two independent 128-step RDACs); higher IDD (6 μA typical). | Supports simultaneous adjustment of two signal paths (e.g., differential amplifier gain/offset), whereas AD5247BKS10-R2 is single-channel only. | Select AD5248BKS10-RL7 when dual-rheostat functionality is required; otherwise AD5247BKS10-R2 offers lower cost and power for single-path use cases. |
| MCP4017T-103I/OT | 64-position I²C digital potentiometer in SOT-23-6; 10 kΩ end-to-end resistance; 100 ppm/°C tempco; no power-on midscale default. | Limited resolution (64 vs. 128 steps) and higher tempco reduce accuracy in precision sensor trimming; lacks guaranteed monotonicity spec. | Choose MCP4017T-103I/OT only for cost-sensitive, non-critical biasing where 128-step resolution and 45 ppm/°C stability are not required. |
Compared with AD5248BKS10-RL7 and MCP4017T-103I/OT, AD5247BKS10-R2 delivers optimal balance of resolution, temperature stability, and single-channel efficiency - making it preferred for high-accuracy, space-constrained, single-adjustment applications like RF bias and LCD dimming.

FAQ
What is the I²C slave address of the AD5247BKS10-R2?
The AD5247BKS10-R2 has a hard-coded 7-bit I²C slave address of 0x5E (binary 0101110), as confirmed in Table 8 of the AD5247 Rev. B datasheet. This address applies specifically to the 10 kΩ and 100 kΩ variants, enabling up to three AD5247BKS10-R2 devices on a shared I²C bus without address conflict.
Does the AD5247BKS10-R2 retain its wiper setting after power cycling?
No - the AD5247BKS10-R2 does not have nonvolatile memory. Upon power-up, it automatically resets to midscale (code 0x40) per its power-on preset feature. To restore a specific setting, the host controller must write the desired code to the wiper register via I²C after each power cycle.
Can the AD5247BKS10-R2 be used in potentiometer divider mode with bipolar signals?
Yes - the AD5247BKS10-R2 allows voltage polarity reversal between terminals A, W, and B, as stated in the "Resistor Terminals" section (Table 1, Note 5). However, VA and VW must remain within GND to VDD; the device does not support true AC-coupled or negative-supply operation.
What is the maximum continuous current rating for the wiper terminal of the AD5247BKS10-R2?
The AD5247BKS10-R2 wiper terminal supports ±5 mA continuous current, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (Table 4). Exceeding this may cause switch degradation; pulsed current up to ±20 mA is allowed only with strict duty-cycle and duration limits defined in the datasheet.
How does the AD5247BKS10-R2 achieve 15 ppm/°C temperature coefficient in divider mode?
The AD5247BKS10-R2 achieves 15 ppm/°C in potentiometer divider mode because output voltage depends on the *ratio* of RWA to RAB rather than absolute resistance values. Since both segments track similarly with temperature, the ratiometric effect reduces drift by ~3× compared to rheostat mode's 45 ppm/°C specification.
