Product details
Overview
AD5272BRMZ-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 gain control of op-amp circuits across industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C).
For engineers reviewing the AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7 datasheet, AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7 pinout, AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7 application, or AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7 equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed 1% resistor tolerance in R-Perf mode, 5 ppm/°C rheostat tempco, 10-bit resolution, I²C fast-mode (400 kHz) support, and LFCSP-10 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AD5272BRMZ-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 over 0x04B–0x3FF (75–1023) for 100 kΩ variants, validated at |VDD − VSS| ≥ 2.7 V.
It features true bipolar operation (±2.5 V), allowing ground-referenced AC signal adjustment without level-shifting. The 50-TP memory uses permanent fuse programming-each store command consumes one of 50 write cycles, with 350 ms execution time and automatic power-up restore.
Key Specifications

| Nominal Resistance | 100 kΩ - sets full-scale rheostat range; supports low-current, high-impedance biasing |
| Resistor Tolerance Error | ±1% - eliminates need for external calibration in open-loop gain/offset applications |
| Temperature Coefficient | 5 ppm/°C - ensures stable resistance over −40°C to +125°C, critical for sensor calibration |
| Interface | I²C-compatible, up to 400 kHz - enables direct connection to microcontrollers without protocol translation |
| Memory Type | 50-TP nonvolatile - retains last wiper setting across power cycles; 50 guaranteed writes |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V single or ±2.5 V dual - supports both standard logic rails and bipolar signal conditioning |
| Package | LFCSP-10 (3 mm × 3 mm × 0.8 mm) - compact footprint ideal for space-constrained industrial modules |
Pinout & Package
AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7 is housed in a thin 10-lead LFCSP (3 mm × 3 mm × 0.8 mm) with exposed pad (EPAD), rated for −40°C to +125°C operation. Decoupling requires 0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF bulk capacitors on VDD and VSS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; must be decoupled to suppress noise coupling into RDAC ladder |
| A | Fixed terminal A of RDAC | Connects to one end of 100 kΩ resistor string; voltage range: VSS ≤ VA ≤ VDD |
| W | Wiper output terminal | Provides variable resistance between A and W; low 35–70 Ω wiper resistance minimizes insertion loss |
| VSS | Negative supply input | Ground for single supply; −2.5 V for dual supply; decoupling mandatory for PSRR performance |
| EXT_CAP | External capacitor node | Requires 1 µF ≥7 V capacitor to VSS for internal charge pump stability during 50-TP programming |
| GND | Logic ground reference | Separate from power ground in mixed-signal layouts to avoid digital noise injection |
| RESET | Hardware reset input | Active-low; forces RDAC register reload from 50-TP memory; tie to VDD if unused |
| SDA | I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain; requires external pull-up; supports readback of RDAC register and 50-TP contents |
| SCL | I²C clock input | Drives serial interface timing; compatible with standard (100 kHz) and fast (400 kHz) modes |
| ADDR | I²C address LSB input | Configures two LSBs of 7-bit address (01011xx); GND/VDD/NC yields three unique bus addresses |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1% resistor tolerance in R-Perf mode | Guaranteed over 75–1023 codes for 100 kΩ variant-enables calibration-free system-level accuracy |
| 50-TP nonvolatile memory | 50 independent fuse-programmable wiper settings; no external EEPROM or battery required |
| I²C readback capability | Allows real-time verification of RDAC register value-critical for fault-tolerant and safety-critical designs |
| Bipolar signal support | ±2.5 V dual-supply operation enables ground-referenced AC gain control without DC blocking caps |
| Low tempco (5 ppm/°C) | Minimizes drift-induced errors in precision instrumentation over full industrial temperature range |
| Compact LFCSP-10 package | 3 mm × 3 mm footprint with thermal pad-supports high-density layout while maintaining θJA = 58.4°C/W |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital rheostat applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5272BRMZ-20-RL7 | 20 kΩ nominal resistance; same 10-bit resolution, ±1% tolerance, and LFCSP-10 package | Better suited for higher-current rheostat paths (up to ±3 mA vs. ±2 mA for 100 kΩ) | Select when lower resistance and higher current drive are required; not drop-in due to different RAW value |
| AD5274BRMZ-100-RL7 | 8-bit resolution (256 positions); identical 100 kΩ, ±1% tolerance, and I²C interface | Lower code granularity reduces tuning precision but simplifies firmware handling | Choose for cost-sensitive or less demanding applications where 256-step resolution suffices |
Compared with AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7, the AD5272BRMZ-20-RL7 offers higher current capability but reduced voltage range per step, while the AD5274BRMZ-100-RL7 trades resolution for simpler control and lower cost-neither is pin-compatible, requiring layout revision.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed resistor tolerance for AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7 in precision applications?
The AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7 guarantees ±1% end-to-end resistor tolerance in R-Perf mode for codes 0x04B to 0x3FF (75–1023) when |VDD − VSS| ≥ 2.7 V. This specification is production-tested and enables calibration-free operation in open-loop gain and offset circuits-unlike standard digital potentiometers that specify only typical or maximum drift.
How does the 50-TP memory in AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7 function during power-up?
On power-up, the AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7 automatically refreshes its RDAC register from the last stored value in 50-TP memory, completing within 2 ms. This behavior ensures deterministic startup without host MCU intervention. Each 50-TP store command permanently programs one of 50 fuse locations, consuming a finite write cycle-no external backup power or EEPROM is needed.
Can AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7 operate with bipolar signals, and what are the supply requirements?
Yes, AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7 supports true bipolar operation with ±2.5 V dual supplies (VDD = +2.5 V, VSS = −2.5 V), enabling ground-referenced AC signal adjustment. Terminal A and W tolerate any polarity relative to each other within VSS ≤ VTERM ≤ VDD. This eliminates level-shifting circuitry in audio and sensor front-ends where signals swing above and below ground.
What is the role of the EXT_CAP pin on AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7, and what capacitor is required?
The EXT_CAP pin on AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7 connects to an external 1 µF capacitor (≥7 V rating) tied to VSS. This capacitor stabilizes the internal charge pump used during 50-TP memory programming. Without it, fuse programming fails or becomes unreliable. The capacitor must be placed close to the pin with low-inductance routing to ensure clean voltage ramp during the 350 ms store operation.
How does the I²C interface of AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7 support multiple devices on the same bus?
The AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7 uses a 7-bit I²C address where the five MSBs are fixed (01011) and the two LSBs are set by the ADDR pin (GND = 11, VDD = 00, NC = 10). This allows up to three AD5272BRMZ-100-RL7 units-or mixed AD5272/AD5274 variants-to share one I²C bus without address conflict, supporting scalable multi-channel calibration systems.
