Product details
Overview
AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 from Analog Devices is a single-channel, 1024-position digital rheostat with 100 kΩ nominal resistance, ±1% end-to-end resistor tolerance error, I²C interface, and 50-times programmable (50-TP) nonvolatile wiper memory. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V single supply or ±2.5 V dual supply and is used in precision sensor calibration and programmable gain control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 datasheet, AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 pinout, AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 application, or AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed 1% resistor tolerance in R-Perf mode, 5 ppm/°C rheostat temperature coefficient, 10-bit resolution, and LFCSP-10 package compatibility with high-density industrial PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 implements a segmented resistor ladder architecture with digitally controlled CMOS switches, enabling precise wiper positioning across 1024 codes. Its R-Perf mode guarantees ±1% tolerance for codes ≥0x04B (75 decimal) at 100 kΩ, validated over −40°C to +125°C.
It uses a standard/fast-mode I²C interface (100 kHz/400 kHz) with 7-bit address (01011xx determined by ADDR pin), supports wiper readback, and executes 50-TP memory programming in 350 ms with automatic lockout during fuse blow. Power-on defaults to last stored wiper position.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive power supply | Must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF bulk capacitor; supports 2.7–5.5 V single supply or +2.5 V in dual-supply mode |
| A | Resistor terminal A | One end of 100 kΩ resistive element; voltage range limited to VSS ≤ VA ≤ VDD |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed resistor tolerance for AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7?
The AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 guarantees ±1% end-to-end resistor tolerance in Resistor Performance (R-Perf) mode for wiper codes ≥0x04B (75 decimal) at 100 kΩ. This specification is validated over the full −40°C to +125°C operating range and simplifies open-loop calibration tasks without requiring external trimming. The AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 achieves this using factory-trimmed resistor ladder segments and on-chip calibration logic.
Does AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 support dual-supply operation?
Yes, AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 supports dual-supply operation at ±2.5 V, enabling ground-referenced bipolar signal adjustment in AC-coupled applications. Terminal A and W tolerate voltages from VSS to VDD, allowing symmetrical swing around 0 V. This mode is explicitly characterized in the datasheet for THD, bandwidth, and PSRR performance, and the AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 maintains its 5 ppm/°C tempco and ±1% tolerance under these conditions.
How does the 50-TP memory function in AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7?
The 50-TP memory in AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 uses one-time programmable fuses to permanently store the wiper position. Each programming cycle takes ~350 ms and consumes ~4 mA peak current; the device locks out further commands during execution. After programming, the AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 automatically restores this value at power-up. Up to 50 independent writes are supported, and the memory retains data for >10 years at +125°C per JEDEC standards.
What package type is used for AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7?
AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 uses a 3 mm × 3 mm × 0.8 mm thin LFCSP-10 package with exposed pad (EPAD), optimized for thermal performance and high-density PCB layouts. Its θJA = 58.4°C/W allows reliable operation in compact industrial modules. Pinout is identical to other AD5272 variants in LFCSP, ensuring drop-in compatibility across resistance values within the same family.
Can AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 operate with standard-mode I²C?
Yes, AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 fully supports standard-mode I²C at 100 kHz and fast-mode at 400 kHz. It uses a 7-bit slave address (01011xx) configurable via the ADDR pin, and complies with all timing parameters in Table 7 of the Rev. G datasheet - including tSU;DAT = 250 ns (standard) and 100 ns (fast), and tHD;STA = 4.7 µs (standard) or 0.6 µs (fast). No external level shifters are needed for 3.3 V or 5 V controllers.
