The AD5170BRMZ100-RL7 is an IC component manufactured by Analog Devices. It is a non-volatile digital potentiometer that provides accurate resistance values for various applications. This IC comes in a compact 6-lead MicroSOIC package.
One of the key features of the AD5170BRMZ100-RL7 is its ability to simulate a mechanical potentiometer. It consists of a series of resistive elements connected between two terminals. These resistive elements can be adjusted digitally, allowing you to vary the resistance between the terminals in a precise manner.
The AD5170BRMZ100-RL7 operates on a single-supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V, making it suitable for a wide range of devices and systems. It also has a low power consumption feature, drawing only 40µA of current in normal operating conditions.
Another significant feature of this IC is its non-volatile memory, which allows it to retain its programmed resistance values even when power is disconnected. This makes it ideal for applications where settings need to be preserved during power cycles.
The AD5170BRMZ100-RL7 is controlled via a simple 3-wire serial interface, making it easy to integrate into existing systems. It has a total of 256 resistive elements, providing a resolution of 8-bit adjustment steps. This allows for precise control and fine-grained adjustments of the resistance
