Product details
Overview
AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7 from Analog Devices is a single-channel, 256-position digital rheostat with 100 kΩ nominal resistance, ±1% end-to-end resistor tolerance error, I²C-compatible 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 AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7 datasheet, AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7 pinout, AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7 application, or AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7 equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed 1% resistor tolerance in R-Perf mode, 5 ppm/°C rheostat temperature coefficient, 8-bit resolution, 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP-10 package, and compatibility with standard/fast-mode I²C (up to 400 kHz).
Technical Context
The AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7 implements a segmented resistor ladder architecture with digitally controlled wiper switching, enabling precise analog resistance adjustment. Its RDAC register serves as a volatile scratchpad for unlimited real-time updates before permanent storage into 50-TP memory.
It supports both rheostat and potentiometer configurations, features hardware RESET and tristate ADDR pin for I²C address selection (0x5C/0x5E/0x5F), and includes EXT_CAP terminal for internal charge pump stabilization during fuse programming - critical for reliable 50-TP write operations requiring ~350 ms duration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8 bits - enables 256 discrete resistance steps across full 100 kΩ range |
| Nominal Resistance | 100 kΩ - defines end-to-end resistance value at full-scale code (0xFF) |
| Resistor Tolerance Error | ±1% - guaranteed over temperature (−40°C to +125°C) in R-Perf mode, simplifying open-loop calibration |
| Temperature Coefficient | 5 ppm/°C - ensures stable resistance vs. ambient drift in precision instrumentation |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V single supply or ±2.5 V dual supply - supports both unipolar and bipolar signal conditioning |
| I²C Interface Speed | Up to 400 kHz fast mode - enables rapid wiper updates in closed-loop systems |
| Wiper Memory | 50-TP nonvolatile - retains last programmed setting across power cycles without external EEPROM |
Pinout & Package
AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7 is housed in a 3 mm × 3 mm × 0.8 mm thin LFCSP-10 package with exposed pad (EPAD), rated for −40°C to +125°C operation. Thermal resistance θJA = 58.4°C/W enables high-density PCB layouts with minimal derating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive power supply | Must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF bulk capacitor; powers internal logic and charge pump |
| A | RDAC terminal A | High-side resistor terminal; voltage range: VSS ≤ VA ≤ VDD; handles up to ±2 mA continuous current |
| W | Wiper terminal | Adjustable tap point; low 35–70 Ω wiper resistance minimizes insertion loss in signal paths |
| VSS | Negative supply / ground reference | Connect to 0 V for single-supply use; required for dual-supply operation (±2.5 V) |
| EXT_CAP | External capacitor connection | Requires 1 µF ≥7 V capacitor to VSS for stable 50-TP programming; absence prevents fuse write |
| GND | Logic ground reference | Separate from power ground in mixed-signal designs to reduce digital noise coupling |
| RESET | Hardware reset input | Active-low signal that reloads RDAC register 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 internal timing for command execution; tHD;STA min = 0.6 µs in fast mode |
| ADDR | I²C address LSB input | Configures device address (0x5C/0x5E/0x5F); NC = 0x5E, GND = 0x5F, VDD = 0x5C |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1% resistor tolerance in R-Perf mode | Eliminates need for system-level trimming in sensor offset/gain calibration loops |
| 50-TP nonvolatile memory | Enables one-time factory programming or field recalibration without external NVM components |
| Rheostat tempco of 5 ppm/°C | Maintains <0.1% resistance drift over 100°C range - critical for metrology-grade instruments |
| I²C readback capability | Allows real-time verification of wiper position and 50-TP memory contents for functional safety checks |
| Dual-supply support (±2.5 V) | Permits true bipolar signal adjustment (e.g., AC-coupled op-amp gain control) without level-shifting |
Applications
| Instrumentation Calibration | Programmable Gain Control |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Precision sensor front-end where offset and gain must be calibrated against reference standards during production test. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Digital rheostat replacing mechanical trimmers in op-amp feedback networks to set gain and zero-point.

Use Value: 8-bit resolution provides fine-grained gain steps; I²C interface allows microcontroller-driven dynamic range switching. |
| Programmable Power Supply | Filter Time Constant Adjustment |
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital rheostat applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 | 1024-position (10-bit) resolution vs. 256-position (8-bit); identical 100 kΩ, ±1% tolerance, LFCSP-10 package | Better suited for applications requiring finer resistance granularity (e.g., high-resolution sensor linearization) | Select AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 when >256 steps are needed; same footprint and software interface simplify upgrade |
| MCP45HV51-103E/MS | 100 kΩ, 256-tap, but only ±20% initial tolerance; no 50-TP memory; uses SPI interface instead of I²C | Lacks guaranteed 1% tolerance and nonvolatile storage - requires external MCU-based calibration persistence | Choose MCP45HV51-103E/MS only for cost-sensitive, non-critical biasing where absolute accuracy is secondary |
Compared with AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7, AD5272BCPZ-100-RL7 offers higher resolution without sacrificing accuracy or memory, while MCP45HV51-103E/MS trades precision and ease of use for lower unit cost and higher voltage rating (up to 36 V).

FAQ
What is the guaranteed resistor tolerance of AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7 over temperature?
The AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7 guarantees ±1% end-to-end resistor tolerance error in Resistor Performance (R-Perf) mode across the full operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. This specification is validated per Table 6 of the Rev. G datasheet for the 100 kΩ variant and applies only when operating within the defined R-Perf code range (0x14 to 0xFF). Outside this range, tolerance degrades to ±15% in normal mode.
Does AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7 support dual-supply operation?
Yes, AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7 supports dual-supply operation at ±2.5 V to ±2.75 V, enabling true bipolar signal adjustment without level-shifting circuitry. In this configuration, VDD = +2.5 V and VSS = −2.5 V, allowing resistor terminals A and W to swing symmetrically around ground - essential for AC-coupled op-amp gain control and instrumentation amplifier offset trimming.
How many times can the 50-TP memory of AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7 be programmed?
The 50-TP memory of AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7 can be programmed exactly 50 times - each program operation permanently stores the current RDAC wiper position by blowing internal fuses. After the 50th program, further attempts return a NACK on the I²C bus. The part retains the last successfully programmed value across all power cycles, and power-on automatically refreshes the RDAC register from 50-TP memory.
What package type is used for AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7?
AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7 uses a 10-lead LFCSP (Lead Frame Chip Scale Package) measuring 3 mm × 3 mm × 0.8 mm with an exposed pad (EPAD). This thermally enhanced package achieves θJA = 58.4°C/W in JEDEC natural convection conditions and is RoHS-compliant. The "BCPZ" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes the LFCSP-10 variant.
Can AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7 operate with standard-mode I²C (100 kHz)?
Yes, AD5274BCPZ-100-RL7 fully supports standard-mode I²C at 100 kHz as well as fast-mode at 400 kHz. Its interface complies with I²C timing specifications in Table 7 of the datasheet, including tHIGH ≥ 4 µs (standard) or ≥ 0.6 µs (fast), tLOW ≥ 4.7 µs or ≥ 1.3 µs, and tSU;DAT ≥ 250 ns or ≥ 100 ns. No external level shifters or protocol translators are required for compatibility with legacy microcontrollers.
