Figure 30. Detailed Functional Block Diagram

The AD5170 is a 256-position, digitally controlled variable

resistor (VR) that employs fuse link technology to achieve

memory retention of resistance setting.

An internal power-on preset places the wiper at midscale

during power-on. If the OTP function has been activated, the

device powers up at the user-defined permanent setting.

ONE-TIME PROGRAMMING (OTP)

Prior to OTP activation, the AD5170 presets to midscale during

initial power-on. After the wiper is set at the desired position,

the resistance can be permanently set by programming the T bit

high along with the proper coding (see Table 7 and Table 8) and

one time VDD_OTP. Note that fuse link technology of the

AD517x family of digital pots requires VDD_OTP between 5.25 V

and 5.5 V to blow the fuses to achieve a given nonvolatile

setting. On the other hand, VDD can be 2.7 V to 5.5 V during

operation. As a result, system supply that is lower than 5.25 V

requires external supply for one-time programming. Note that

the user is allowed only one attempt in blowing the fuses. If the

user fails to blow the fuses at the first attempt, the fuses’

structures may have changed such that they may never be

blown regardless of the energy applied at subsequent events. For

details, see the Power Supply Considerations section.

The device control circuit has two validation bits, E1 and E0,

that can be read back to check the programming status (see

Table 7). Users should always read back the validation bits to

ensure that the fuses are properly blown. After the fuses have

been blown, all fuse latches are enabled upon subsequent

power-on; therefore, the output corresponds to the stored

setting. Figure 30 shows a detailed functional block diagram.

PROGRAMMING THE VARIABLE RESISTOR AND

VOLTAGE

Rheostat Operation

The nominal resistance of the RDAC between Terminal A and

Terminal B is available in 2.5 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, and 100 kΩ.

The nominal resistance (RAB) of the VR has 256 contact points

accessed by the wiper terminal, plus the B terminal contact. The

8-bit data in the RDAC latch is decoded to select one of 256

possible settings.

Assuming a 10 kΩ part is used, the wiper’s first connection

starts at the B terminal for data 0x00. Because there is a 50 Ω

wiper contact resistance, such a connection yields a minimum

of 100 Ω (2 × 50 Ω) resistance between Terminal W and

Terminal B. The second connection is the first tap point, which

corresponds to 139 Ω (RWB = RAB/256 + 2 × RW = 39 Ω + 2 × 50 Ω)

for data 0x01. The third connection is the next tap point, repre-

senting 178 Ω (2 × 39 Ω + 2 × 50 Ω) for data 0x02, and so on.

Each LSB data value increase moves the wiper up the resistor

ladder until the last tap point is reached at 10,100 Ω (RAB + 2 × RW).
