APPLICATIONS
Systems calibration Electronics level setting Mechanical Trimmers(R) replacement in new designs Permanent factory PCB setting Transducer adjustment of pressure, temperature, position, chemical, and optical sensors RF amplifier biasing Automotive electronics adjustment Gain control and offset adjustment
The AD5170 is programmed using a 2-wire, I2C compatible digital interface. Unlimited adjustments are allowed before permanently (there are actually two opportunities) setting the resistance value. During OTP activation, a permanent blow fuse command freezes the wiper position (analogous to placing epoxy on a mechanical trimmer). Unlike traditional OTP digital potentiometers, the AD5170 has a unique temporary OTP overwrite feature that allows for new adjustments even after the fuse has been blown. However, the OTP setting is restored during subsequent power-up conditions. This feature allows users to treat these digital potentiometers as volatile potentiometers with a programmable preset. For applications that program the AD5170 at the factory, Analog Devices offers device programming software running on Windows NT(R), 2000, and XP(R) operating systems. This software effectively replaces any external I2C controllers, thus enhancing the time-to-market of the user's systems.
GENERAL OVERVIEW
The AD5170 is a 256-position, two-time programmable (TTP) digital potentiometer* that employs fuse link technology to enable two opportunities at permanently programming the resistance setting. OTP is a cost-effective alternative to EEMEM for users who do not need to program the digital potentiometer setting in memory more than once. This device performs the same electronic adjustment function as mechanical potentiometers or variable resistors with enhanced resolution, solid-state reliability, and superior low temperature coefficient performance.
*The terms digital potentiometer, VR, and RDAC are used interchangeably.

Typical specifications represent average readings at 25C and VDD = 5 V. Resistor position nonlinearity error, R-INL, is the deviation from an ideal value measured between the maximum resistance and the minimum resistance wiper positions. R-DNL measures the relative step change from ideal between successive tap positions. Parts are guaranteed monotonic. 3 VAB = VDD, Wiper (VW) = no connect. 4 INL and DNL are measured at VW with the RDAC configured as a potentiometer divider similar to a voltage output D/A converter. VA = VDD and VB = 0 V. DNL specification limits of 1 LSB maximum are guaranteed monotonic operating conditions. 5 Resistor terminals A, B, W have no limitations on polarity with respect to each other. 6 Guaranteed by design and not subject to production test. 7 Measured at the A terminal. The A terminal is open circuited in shutdown mode. 8 PDISS is calculated from (IDD x VDD). CMOS logic level inputs result in minimum power dissipation. 9 All dynamic characteristics use VDD = 5 V.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Maximum terminal current is bound by the maximum current handling of the switches, maximum power dissipation of the package, and maximum applied voltage across any two of the A, B, and W terminals at a given resistance. 2 Package power dissipation = (TJMAX - TA)/JA
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

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 5 and Table 6). Note that fuse link technology requires 6 V to blow the internal fuses to achieve a given setting. The user is allowed only one attempt at blowing the fuses. Once programming is completed, the power supply voltage must be reduced to the normal operating range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. 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.
Assuming a 10 k part is used, the wiper's first connection starts at the B terminal for data 0x00. Because there is a 50 wiper contact resistance, such a connection yields a minimum of 100 (2 x 50 ) resistance between terminals W and B. The second connection is the first tap point, which corresponds to 139 (RWB = RAB/256+ 2 x RW = 39 + 2 x 50 ) for data 0x01. The third connection is the next tap point, representing 178 (2 x 39 + 2 x 50 ) 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 (RAB + 2 x RW).

Rheostat Operation
The nominal resistance of the RDAC between terminals A and B is available in 2.5 k, 10 k, 50 k, and 100 k. 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 the 256 possible settings.

The general equation that determines the digitally programmed output resistance between W and B is
RWB(D) =
D x RAB + 2 x RW 128
(1)
Typical device-to-device matching is process lot dependent and may vary by up to 30%. Since the resistance element is processed using thin film technology, the change in RAB with temperature has a very low 35 ppm/C temperature coefficient.
where D is the decimal equivalent of the binary code loaded in the 8-bit RDAC register, RAB is the end-to-end resistance, and RW is the wiper resistance contributed by the on resistance of the internal switch. In summary, if RAB = 10 k and the A terminal is opencircuited, the output resistance RWB is set for the RDAC latch codes, as shown in Table 5.

PROGRAMMING THE POTENTIOMETER DIVIDER
Voltage Output Operation
The digital potentiometer easily generates a voltage divider at wiper-to-B and wiper-to-A proportional to the input voltage at A-to-B. Unlike the polarity of VDD to GND, which must be positive, voltage across A-B, W-A, and W-B can be at either polarity.

Figure 33. Potentiometer Mode Configuration
Note that in the zero-scale condition, a finite wiper resistance of 100 is present. Care should be taken to limit the current flow between W and B in this state to a maximum pulse current of no more than 20 mA. Otherwise, degradation or possible destruction of the internal switch contact can occur. Similar to the mechanical potentiometer, the resistance of the RDAC between the wiper W and terminal A also produces a digitally controlled complementary resistance, RWA. When these terminals are used, the B terminal can be opened. Setting the resistance value for RWA starts at a maximum value of resistance and decreases as the data loaded in the latch increases in value. The general equation for this operation is
RWA(D) =
If ignoring the effect of the wiper resistance for approximation, connecting the A terminal to 5 V and the B terminal to ground produces an output voltage at the wiper-to-B starting at 0 V up to 1 LSB less than 5 V. Each LSB of voltage is equal to the voltage applied across Terminal AB divided by the 256 positions of the potentiometer divider. The general equation defining the output voltage at VW with respect to ground for any valid input voltage applied to Terminals A and B is
VW (D ) =
256 - D D VA + VB 256 256
(3)
256 - D x RAB + 2 x RW 128
For a more accurate calculation, which includes the effect of wiper resistance, VW can be found as
VW (D) = R (D) RWB (D) VB V A + WA R AB R AB (4)
(2)
For RAB = 10 k and the B terminal open-circuited, the following output resistance RWA is set for the RDAC latch codes, as shown in Table 6.

D (Dec.) 255 128 1 0 RWA () 139 5,060 9,961 10,060 Output State Full Scale Midscale 1 LSB Zero Scale
Operation of the digital potentiometer in the divider mode results in a more accurate operation over temperature. Unlike the rheostat mode, the output voltage is dependent mainly on the ratio of the internal resistors RWA and RWB and not the absolute values. Thus, the temperature drift reduces to 15 ppm/C.

POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
To minimize the package pin count, both the one-time programming and normal operating voltage supplies are applied to the same VDD terminal of the AD5170. The AD5170 employs fuse link technology that requires 6 V to blow the internal fuses to achieve a given setting. The user is allowed only one attempt at blowing the fuses. Once programming is completed, power supply voltage must be reduced to the normal operating range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Such dual voltage requirements require isolation between the supplies. The fuse programming supply (either an on-board regulator or rack-mount power supply) must be rated at 6 V and must be able to provide a 100 mA transient current for 400 ms in order for successful one-time programming. Once programming is complete, the 6 V supply must be removed to allow normal operation at 2.7 V to 5.5 V at regular microamp current levels. Figure 37 shows the simplest implementation using a jumper. This approach saves one voltage supply but draws additional current and requires manual configuration.

POWER-UP SEQUENCE
Because the ESD protection diodes limit the voltage compliance at Terminals A, B, and W (see Figure 36), it is important to power VDD/GND before applying any voltage to Terminals A, B, and W. Otherwise, the diode will be forward biased such that VDD is powered unintentionally and may affect the rest of the user's circuit. The ideal power-up sequence is GND, VDD, the digital inputs, and then VA/VB/VW. The relative order of powering VA, VB, VW, and the digital inputs is not important as long as they are powered after VDD/GND.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
It is a good practice to employ compact, minimum lead length layout design. The leads to the inputs should be as direct as possible with a minimum conductor length. Ground paths should have low resistance and low inductance. Note that the digital ground should also be joined remotely to the analog ground at one point to minimize the ground bounce.

For users who operate their systems at 2.7 V, use of the bidirectional low threshold P-Ch MOSFETs is recommended for the supply's isolation. As shown in Figure 39, this assumes that the 2.7 V system voltage is applied first, and that the P1 and P2 gates are pulled to ground, thus turning on P1 and subsequently P2. As a result, VDD of the AD5170 approaches 2.7 V. When the AD5170 setting is found, the factory tester applies the 6 V to VDD; the 6 V is also applied to the gates of P1 and P2 to turn them off. The OTP command is executed at this time to program the AD5170; the 2.7 V source is therefore protected. Once the OTP is completed, the tester withdraws the 6 V and the AD5170's setting is fixed permanently. AD5170 achieves the OTP function through blowing internal fuses. Users should always apply the 6 V one time program voltage requirement at the first program command. Failure to comply with this requirement may lead to the change of fuse structures, rendering programming inoperable.

AD5170 EVALUATION SOFTWARE/HARDWARE
Figure 41. AD5170 Computer Software Interface
There are two ways of controlling the AD5170. Users can either program the devices with computer software or external I2C controllers.
SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING
Due to the advantages of the one-time programmable feature, users may consider programming the device in the factory before shipping the final product to end-users. ADI offers a device programming software that can be implemented in the factory on PCs running Windows 95 or later. As a result, external controllers are not required, which significantly reduces development time. The program is an executable file that does not require any programming languages or user programming skills. It is easy to set up and to use. Figure 41 shows the software interface. The software can be downloaded from www.analog.com.
The AD5170 starts at midscale after power-up prior to OTP programming. To increment or decrement the resistance, the user may simply move the scrollbars on the left. To write any specific value, the user should use the bit pattern in the upper screen and press the Run button. The format of writing data to the device is shown in Table 7. Once the desired setting is found, the user may press the Program Permanent button to blow the internal fuse links. To read the validation bits and data out from the device, the user simply presses the Read button. The format of the read bits is shown in Table 8. To apply the device programming software in the factory, users must modify a parallel port cable and configure Pins 2, 3, 15, and 25 for SDA_write, SCL, SDA_read, and DGND, respectively, for the control signals (Figure 42). Users should also lay out the PCB of the AD5170 with SCL and SDA pads, as shown in Figure 43, such that pogo pins can be inserted for factory programming.

I2C COMPATIBLE 2-WIRE SERIAL BUS
The 2-wire I2C serial bus protocol operates as follows: 1. The master initiates data transfer by establishing a START condition, which is when a high-to-low transition on the SDA line occurs while SCL is high (see Figure 45). The following byte is the slave address byte, which consists of the slave address followed by an R/W bit (this bit determines whether data is read from or written to the slave device). AD0 and AD1 are configurable address bits which allow up to four devices on one bus (see Table 7). The slave whose address corresponds to the transmitted address responds by pulling the SDA line low during the ninth clock pulse (this is termed the acknowledge bit). At this stage, all other devices on the bus remain idle while the selected device waits for data to be written to or read from its serial register. If the R/W bit is high, the master will read from the slave device. If the R/W bit is low, the master will write to the slave device. 2. In the write mode, the second byte is the instruction byte. The first bit (MSB), 2T, of the instruction byte is the second trim enable bit. A logic low selects the first array of fuses and a logic high selects the second array. This means that after blowing the fuses with trim#1, the user still has another chance to blow them again with trim#2. Note that using trim#2 before trim#1 effectively disables trim#1 and in turn only allows one-time programming. The second MSB, SD, is a shutdown bit. A logic high causes an open circuit at Terminal A while shorting the wiper to Terminal B. This operation yields almost 0 in rheostat mode or 0 V in potentiometer mode. It is important to note that the shutdown operation does not disturb the contents of the register. When brought out of shutdown, the previous setting is applied to the RDAC. Also, during shutdown, new settings can be programmed. When the part is returned from shutdown, the corresponding VR setting is applied to the RDAC. The third MSB, T, is the OTP (one-time programmable) programming bit. A logic high blows the poly fuses and programs the resistor setting permanently. For example, if the user wanted to blow the first array of fuses, the instruction byte would be 00100XXX. If the user wanted to blow the second array of fuses, the instruction byte would be 10100XXX. A logic low of the T bit simply allows the device to act as a typical volatile digital potentiometer. The fourth MSB must always be at Logic 0. 3. The fifth MSB, OW, is an overwrite bit. When raised to a logic high, OW allows the RDAC setting to be changed even after the internal fuses have been blown. However once OW is returned to a logic zero, the position of the RDAC returns to the setting prior to overwrite. Because OW is not static, if the device is powered off and on, the RDAC presets to midscale or to the setting at which the fuses were blown, depending on whether or not the fuses have been permanently set already. The remainder of the bits in the instruction byte are don't cares (see Figure 45). After acknowledging the instruction byte, the last byte in write mode is the data byte. Data is transmitted over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock pulses (eight data bits followed by an acknowledge bit). The transitions on the SDA line must occur during the low period of SCL and remain stable during the high period of SCL (see Figure 44). In the read mode, the data byte follows immediately after the acknowledgment of the slave address byte. Data is transmitted over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock pulses (a slight difference from the write mode, with eight data bits followed by an acknowledge bit). Similarly, the transitions on the SDA line must occur during the low period of SCL and remain stable during the high period of SCL (see Figure 46). Following the data byte, the validation byte contains two validation bits, E0 and E1. These bits signify the status of the one-time programming (see Figure 46). 4. After all data bits have been read or written, a STOP condition is established by the master. A STOP condition is defined as a low-to-high transition on the SDA line while SCL is high. In write mode, the master pulls the SDA line high during the 10th clock pulse to establish a STOP condition (see Figure 45). In read mode, the master issues a No Acknowledge for the 9th clock pulse (i.e., the SDA line remains high). The master then brings the SDA line low before the 10th clock pulse, which goes high to establish a STOP condition (see Figure 46).
A repeated write function gives the user flexibility to update the RDAC output a number of times after addressing and instructing the part only once. For example, after the RDAC has acknowledged its slave address and instruction bytes in the write mode, the RDAC output updates on each successive byte. If different instructions are needed, the write/read mode has to start again with a new slave address, instruction, and data byte. Similarly, a repeated read function of the RDAC is also allowed.

Figure 47 shows four AD5170s on the same serial bus. Each has a different slave address because the states of their AD0 and AD1 pins are different. This allows each device on the bus to be written to or read from independently. The master device output bus line drivers are open-drain pull-downs in a fully I2C compatible interface.
