Product details
Overview
AD5273BRJZ1-R2 from Analog Devices is a 64-position, one-time programmable (OTP) digital potentiometer in an 8-lead SOT-23 package, featuring 10 kΩ end-to-end resistance, I²C-compatible interface, 5 µA max supply current, and −40°C to +105°C operation. It replaces mechanical trimmers in factory-set calibration circuits where permanent resistance values are required after unlimited pre-programming adjustments.
For engineers reviewing the AD5273BRJZ1-R2 datasheet, AD5273BRJZ1-R2 pinout, AD5273BRJZ1-R2 application, or AD5273BRJZ1-R2 equivalent, key selection criteria include OTP validation status (E1/E0 bits), VDD_OTP programming voltage window (5.0–5.5 V), rheostat/potentiometer mode linearity (±0.5 LSB INL), fuse blow timing (400 ms), and terminal voltage range (GND to VDD).
Technical Context
The AD5273BRJZ1-R2 implements fuse-link-based OTP memory with six data fuses, one test fuse, and one programming lock fuse. Its I²C interface supports up to 400 kHz clock frequency and uses AD0 for dual-device addressing on a shared bus.
It operates in two analog configurations: rheostat mode (W–B or W–A only) and potentiometer mode (A–W–B divider), with guaranteed monotonicity and code-dependent temperature coefficients-300 ppm/°C in rheostat mode and as low as 10 ppm/°C in potentiometer mode at midscale.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 6-bit (64 positions), enabling precise 1.56% step resolution across full scale |
| End-to-End Resistance | 10 kΩ ±30%, defining nominal wiper travel range and current-handling capability |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V for normal operation; 5.0–5.5 V required for OTP programming |
| Interface | I²C-compatible, 400 kHz max clock, with AD0 address bit supporting two devices per bus |
| Settling Time | 5 µs typical during power-up and after OTP activation, critical for fast system initialization |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +105°C, qualifying for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Power Consumption | 5 µA max IDD, enabling battery-powered calibration systems with multi-year standby life |
Pinout & Package
AD5273BRJZ1-R2 is housed in a compact 8-lead SOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm, with gull-wing leads and standard surface-mount footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| W | Wiper output | Analog output node connecting to internal resistor ladder; voltage ranges from GND to VDD |
| VDD | Positive supply | 2.7–5.5 V for operation; must be 5.0–5.5 V with ≥100 mA sourcing capability for OTP programming |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for analog and digital sections; required for proper fuse-blow validation |
| SCL | I²C clock input | Open-drain input requiring external pull-up; VIH ≥ 0.7×VDD for reliable communication |
| SDA | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain I/O with acknowledge; carries write commands (T-bit, data bits) and read-back validation bits (E1/E0) |
| AD0 | Device address bit | Selects between two AD5273 units on same I²C bus; logic high sets slave address to 0x2D, low to 0x2C |
| B | Resistor terminal B | Low-side end of resistor string; used with W in rheostat mode or as ground reference in divider mode |
| A | Resistor terminal A | High-side end of resistor string; connects to VDD or signal source in both operating modes |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| One-time programmable (OTP) memory | Fuse-link technology enables permanent, tamper-resistant resistance setting after factory calibration |
| OTP validation check | E1/E0 status bits readable via I²C confirm successful fuse blow (1,1) or failure (1,0), eliminating post-program verification hardware |
| Ultralow quiescent current | 5 µA max IDD allows integration into always-on sensor front-ends without measurable battery drain |
| Fast power-up settling | 5 µs settling ensures immediate analog readiness after cold start, avoiding system boot delays |
| Wide supply voltage range | 2.7–5.5 V operation supports direct connection to 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller I/O rails without level shifters |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides nonvolatile resistance value for analog input scaling or bias generation in MCU-based control systems. Use Value: Replaces EEPROM + external resistor network, reducing BOM count and PCB area while ensuring parameter retention across power cycles. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital potentiometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5231BRUZ10 | Nonvolatile EEMEM (1024 positions), 10 kΩ, SPI interface, 3 V–5.5 V supply | Supports dynamic field updates; lacks OTP security and fuse validation | Choose when recalibration or user-adjustable settings are required post-deployment |
| MCP45HV51-103E/MS | High-voltage (18 V) OTP digital pot, 10 kΩ, I²C, 128 positions, SOT-23-8 | Rated for higher terminal voltages (up to 18 V); no OTP validation bits or dedicated VDD_OTP pin | Choose for applications exceeding 5.5 V across A/B terminals, accepting reduced diagnostic visibility |
Compared with AD5273BRJZ1-R2, AD5231BRUZ10 offers field reprogrammability but requires additional EEPROM management overhead, while MCP45HV51-103E/MS extends voltage range at the cost of OTP status verification-making AD5273BRJZ1-R2 optimal for secure, verified factory-set calibrations within 5.5 V limits.

FAQ
What is the OTP programming voltage requirement for AD5273BRJZ1-R2?
The AD5273BRJZ1-R2 requires a dedicated OTP programming supply (VDD_OTP) of 5.0 V to 5.5 V, capable of delivering ≥100 mA for 400 ms. This differs from its normal operating supply (2.7–5.5 V). Applying OTP voltage outside this window risks incomplete fuse blow or device damage. The AD5273BRJZ1-R2 datasheet specifies that VDD_OTP must be stable and well-decoupled during programming to ensure reliable OTP activation.
How do I verify successful OTP programming of AD5273BRJZ1-R2?
After OTP programming, read back the E1 and E0 validation bits via I²C read mode. AD5273BRJZ1-R2 returns E1=1, E0=1 on successful fuse blow; E1=1, E0=0 indicates fatal error (discard unit); E1=0, E0=1 is reserved for factory test. These bits are latched permanently and persist across power cycles. The AD5273BRJZ1-R2 does not support reprogramming once E1/E0 = 1/1 is confirmed.
Can AD5273BRJZ1-R2 operate in both rheostat and potentiometer modes?
Yes, AD5273BRJZ1-R2 supports both configurations. In rheostat mode, use W and either A or B terminal (leaving the other open or shorted to W); in potentiometer mode, connect A, W, and B to form a three-terminal voltage divider. Linearity specifications differ: rheostat mode has ±0.5 LSB R-INL (10 kΩ), while potentiometer mode achieves ±0.5 LSB INL. The AD5273BRJZ1-R2's internal fuse structure and register mapping remain identical across both modes.
What is the maximum bandwidth achievable with AD5273BRJZ1-R2?
Bandwidth depends on end-to-end resistance: AD5273BRJZ1-R2 achieves 6 MHz (−3 dB) with 1 kΩ configuration, 600 kHz with 10 kΩ, 110 kHz with 50 kΩ, and 60 kHz with 100 kΩ. These values are measured at code 0x20 and assume VDD = 5 V. The AD5273BRJZ1-R2's bandwidth scales inversely with resistance due to parasitic capacitance (CA/CB = 25 pF, CW = 55 pF), making lower RAB values optimal for high-frequency filter or signal-path applications.
Does AD5273BRJZ1-R2 require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, AD5273BRJZ1-R2 requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines because its I²C interface uses open-drain outputs. Pull-ups must be connected to VDD (not another voltage rail) to meet VIH ≥ 0.7×VDD. Typical values range from 2.2 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on bus capacitance and speed requirements. Without proper pull-ups, AD5273BRJZ1-R2 will fail I²C communication and cannot execute write or read operations-including OTP validation bit checks.
