The AD5241 / AD52421 provide a single-/dual-channel, 256-position, digitally controlled variable resistor (VR) device. These devices perform the same electronic adjustment function as a potentiometer, trimmer, or variable resistor. Each VR offers a completely programmable value of resistance between the A terminal and the wiper, or the B terminal and the wiper. For the AD5242, the fixed A-to-B terminal resistance of 10 kΩ, 100 kΩ, or 1 MΩ has a 1% channel-to-channel matching tolerance. The nominal temperature coefficient of both parts is 30 ppm/°C.Wiper position programming defaults to midscale at system power on. When powered, the VR wiper position is programmed by an I2C-compatible, 2-wire serial data interface. Both parts have two extra programmable logic outputs available that enable users to drive digital loads, logic gates, LED drivers, and analog switches in their system.The AD5241 / AD5242 are available in surface-mount, 14-lead SOIC and 16-lead SOIC packages and, for ultracompact solutions, 14-lead TSSOP and 16-lead TSSOP packages. All parts are guaranteed to operate over the extended temperature range of −40°C to +105°C.APPLICATIONS Multimedia, video, and audio Communications Mechanical potentiometer replacement Instrumentation: gain, offset adjustment Programmable voltage-to-current conversion Line impedance matching

The AD5260 and AD5262 are 1- and 2-channel, 256 position, SPI interface digitally controlled, variable resistor (VR) devices. These parts operate from either a single +5 V to +15 V supply or a dual ±5 V supply, extending terminal voltage adjustment to these supply voltages. (Most industry digital potentiometers are limited to a 5 V operating range). These devices perform the same electronic adjustment function as a potentiometer or variable resistor while offering solid-state reliability and electronic packaging compactness. These devices are offered in the thin 1.1 mm height TSSOP 14- and 16-lead surface mount packages.
