The AD5203ARU10 is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed for controlling variable resistors digitally. It consists of a 256-position linear taper digital potentiometer with a range of up to 10kΩ. The IC operates on a single-supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The key features of the AD5203ARU10 can be summarized as follows:
1. Digital Potentiometer: The IC incorporates a 256-position digital potentiometer, allowing for precise digital control of resistance. With its 10kΩ range, it can be used in various applications that require variable resistance.
2. Resistor Network: The AD5203ARU10 consists of resistor ladder networks with highly stable thin-film resistors. This ensures accurate and reliable resistance adjustments across the entire range.
3. SPI Interface: The IC is interfaced through a 3-wire serial peripheral interface (SPI). This enables easy communication and control from external microcontrollers or other digital devices.
4. Low Power Consumption: The IC is designed to be power-efficient, consuming minimal power during operation. It also offers a power-down mode to further reduce power consumption when not in use.
5. Nonvolatile Memory: The AD5203ARU10 features nonvolatile memory cells that store the wiper position digitally, even when the power is switched off
