The AD5161BRM100 is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component manufactured by Analog Devices. It belongs to the family of digital potentiometers, which are used to vary resistances digitally. The AD5161BRM100 is designed to provide a programmable resistance for a wide range of applications. Below is an overview and key features of the AD5161BRM100:
1. Overview:
The AD5161BRM100 is a single-channel, nonvolatile digital potentiometer with 100 positions. It utilizes an I2C-compatible digital interface to adjust the resistance value. This IC is housed in a compact 8-lead MSOP package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications.
2. Voltage Range:
The AD5161BRM100 operates over a wide voltage supply range from 2.7V to 5.5V. This flexibility allows it to be used with various power sources without the need for any additional voltage regulation circuitry.
3. Resistance Taper:
It features a logarithmic resistance taper, which is commonly used in audio applications as it provides smooth volume control over a wider range. The logarithmic taper allows for gradual increases in resistance at lower values, making it suitable for applications requiring precise adjustment, such as volume control in audio amplifiers.
4. Nonvolatile Memory:
The AD5161BRM100 has an integrated EEPROM memory that stores the wiper position even when the power is disconnected
