Product details
Overview
AD5262BRU200-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a dual-channel, 256-position, 200 kΩ digital potentiometer operating from 5 V to 15 V single supply or ±5.5 V dual supply. It functions as an electronically programmable rheostat or potentiometer divider with 35 ppm/°C temperature coefficient and SPI-compatible 4-wire interface. Used in precision gain/offset adjustment and stereo audio level control where mechanical potentiometer replacement is required.
For engineers reviewing the AD5262BRU200-REEL7 datasheet, AD5262BRU200-REEL7 pinout, AD5262BRU200-REEL7 application, or AD5262BRU200-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-channel independent programming, 200 kΩ end-to-end resistance, 15 V absolute maximum terminal voltage, midscale power-on reset, and TSSOP-16 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AD5262BRU200-REEL7 implements two independent 256-step RDACs using CMOS switch-array architecture with ladder-based wiper positioning. Each channel features its own 9-bit serial register and address-decoded latch (A0 = 0 for RDAC1, A0 = 1 for RDAC2), enabling selective update without disturbing the other channel.
It supports both rheostat (A–W or B–W) and potentiometer divider (A–W–B) configurations with guaranteed monotonicity, ±½ LSB INL in divider mode, and 5 ppm/°C voltage-divider temperature coefficient at mid-scale. The device uses open-drain SDO for daisy-chaining and includes active-low SHDN and PR pins for shutdown and hardware midscale preset.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | Dual, independently programmable RDACs - enables stereo audio control or matched gain/offset tuning in differential circuits. |
| End-to-End Resistance | 200 kΩ ±30% - sets maximum current handling (±5 mA continuous) and defines resolution granularity in voltage divider applications. |
| Resolution | 8-bit (256 positions) - provides 0.39% step resolution; sufficient for 1% gain trimming and coarse DAC replacement. |
| Temperature Coefficient | 35 ppm/°C (resistor), 5 ppm/°C (voltage divider at mid-scale) - ensures stable ratio matching across −40°C to +85°C industrial range. |
| Supply Range | 4.5 V to 16.5 V single-supply or ±4.5 V to ±5.5 V dual-supply - supports direct integration into 12 V/15 V analog signal chains without level-shifting. |
| Interface | SPI-compatible 4-wire (CS, CLK, SDI, SDO), 25 MHz max clock - allows microcontroller direct connection with no protocol translation. |
| Settling Time | 5 μs to ±1 LSB (RAB = 20 kΩ) - enables fast reconfiguration in closed-loop calibration or dynamic filter tuning. |
Pinout & Package
AD5262BRU200-REEL7 is housed in a 16-lead thin shrink small-outline package (TSSOP) with 0.65 mm pitch, optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly. Thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W enables operation at full rating in ambient up to +85°C without forced airflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SDO) | Serial Data Output | Open-drain output requiring external pull-up; enables daisy-chaining multiple AD5262 devices without additional logic. |
| 2 (A1), 16 (A2) | Channel 1 & 2 Terminal A | Fixed end of resistor ladder; connects to high-side reference or signal source in potentiometer configuration. |
| 3 (W1), 15 (W2) | Channel 1 & 2 Wiper | Programmable tap point; delivers variable voltage/current based on digital code; low 60–150 Ω wiper resistance minimizes insertion loss. |
| 4 (B1), 14 (B2) | Channel 1 & 2 Terminal B | Fixed end of resistor ladder; typically grounded or connected to low-side reference; tied to W during shutdown. |
| 5 (VDD) | Positive Supply | Accepts 4.5–16.5 V; supports direct use in 12 V/15 V systems; sum |VDD| + |VSS| ≤ 15 V limits dual-supply operation. |
| 6 (SHDN) | Active-Low Shutdown | Puts A terminals in open-circuit state and connects W to B; reduces supply current to 5 μA while retaining latch settings. |
| 7 (CLK) | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge triggered; 25 MHz max rate enables <400 ns per bit; requires clean transitions to avoid metastability. |
| 8 (SDI) | Serial Data Input | Accepts 9-bit word (A0 + D7–D0); MSB-first format; compatible with standard MCU SPI peripherals in 3-wire mode. |
| 9 (CS) | Chip Select | Active-low enable; rising edge latches last 9 bits into target RDAC register based on A0 address bit. |
| 10 (PR) | Active-Low Preset | Forces both RDAC latches to 0x80 (midscale); used for fail-safe recovery or manual recalibration without software intervention. |
| 11 (GND) | Ground Reference | Analog and digital ground common pin; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into wiper path. |
| 12 (VSS) | Negative Supply | Supports −5 V operation; enables true bipolar signal handling (e.g., ±5 V op-amp interfaces) when paired with VDD = +5 V. |
| 13 (VL) | Logic Supply | 2.7–5.5 V input; must match host MCU I/O voltage; powers internal logic and defines VIH/VIL thresholds (2.4 V/0.8 V @ 5 V). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5262BRU50-REEL7 | Same dual-channel architecture and pinout, but 50 kΩ end-to-end resistance and higher 130 kHz −3 dB bandwidth (vs. 30 kHz at 200 kΩ). | Better suited for higher-frequency AC signal adjustment (e.g., programmable filters) where lower resistance reduces RC time constants. | Select when bandwidth >100 kHz or current drive >±10 mA is required; not drop-in due to resistance mismatch in voltage-divider designs. |
| MAX5487ETE+ | Single-channel, 100 kΩ, I²C interface, 2.7–5.5 V supply only; lacks dual supply support and 15 V rating. | Targeted at low-voltage embedded systems (e.g., battery-powered IoT sensors); no bipolar operation capability. | Choose for space-constrained, low-power designs with I²C infrastructure; unsuitable for 12 V/15 V analog signal chains or dual-supply op-amps. |

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage the AD5262BRU200-REEL7 can withstand?
The AD5262BRU200-REEL7 supports a single-supply range up to 16.5 V (absolute maximum VDD to GND = +17 V) and dual-supply operation up to ±5.5 V. Its resistor terminals tolerate voltages between VSS and VDD, enabling direct use in 12 V and 15 V analog signal paths without external protection. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the AD5262BRU200-REEL7 retain its wiper position after power cycling?
Yes - the AD5262BRU200-REEL7 retains its programmed wiper position in volatile latch memory across power cycles. However, it defaults to midscale (0x80) at power-on due to internal power-on reset circuitry tied to the VL pin. To preserve custom settings across power loss, external nonvolatile storage and firmware reload are required.
Can the AD5262BRU200-REEL7 operate with a 3.3 V logic supply while using a 15 V analog supply?
Yes - the VL pin accepts 2.7 V to 5.5 V independently of VDD/VSS. With VL = 3.3 V, the AD5262BRU200-REEL7 accepts 3.3 V logic levels (VIH = 2.1 V min, VIL = 0.6 V max) while driving 15 V analog signals between A, W, and B terminals. This enables seamless interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers in high-voltage analog systems.
How does the AD5262BRU200-REEL7 handle crosstalk between its two channels?
The AD5262BRU200-REEL7 specifies −64 dB analog crosstalk (CTA) between channels at 10 kHz with 20 kΩ/200 kΩ RAB. This means a full-scale 5 Vp-p signal on one wiper induces <100 μVp-p interference on the adjacent channel's wiper - sufficient for most audio and instrumentation applications where channel isolation >60 dB is acceptable.
Is the AD5262BRU200-REEL7 suitable for use as a programmable current source?
Yes - configured as a rheostat (A–W) with fixed voltage across A–B, the AD5262BRU200-REEL7 delivers programmable current IW = VAB/RWB. At 200 kΩ and ±5 V, max current is ±25 μA; at mid-scale (100 kΩ), it provides 50 μA/V resolution. Its 35 ppm/°C tempco ensures stable current setting over temperature, validated in "Programmable 4 mA-to-20 mA Current Source" application note.
