The AD5173BRM100 is an integrated circuit (IC) component developed by Analog Devices. It is a versatile, digitally controlled potentiometer designed to provide accurate resistance adjustment in a variety of applications. The IC offers several notable features, making it popular among engineers and designers.
One of the key features of the AD5173BRM100 is its ability to combine resistance with nonvolatile memory. This feature allows the IC to store its resistance setting even when the power supply is disconnected. The nonvolatile memory ensures that the device retains its resistance value, eliminating the need for recalibration upon power-up.
The IC is equipped with a 100 kilohm, single-channel potentiometer, making it suitable for a range of applications such as volume control, gain adjustments, and offset trimming. Its high resistance range along with its precise 1% terminal tolerance ensures accurate and reliable resistance settings.
The AD5173BRM100 supports a three-wire interface, allowing it to connect easily with digital devices like microcontrollers or DSPs. This interface enables simple and efficient communication between the IC and the controlling system, facilitating smooth integration into the overall circuit design.
The IC provides 256 different resistance values, offering fine-grained control over the output. This wide range of available resistance settings allows for flexible adjustment to achieve the desired functionality. Moreover, the AD5173BRM100 ensures low resistance temperature coefficient, minimizing resistance variations in response to temperature changes
