Description

The AD5290 is one of the few high voltage, high performance, and compact digital potentiometers1 in the market at present. This device can be used as a programmable resistor or resistor divider. The AD5290 performs the same electronic adjustment function as mechanical potentiometers, variable resistors, and trimmers, with enhanced resolution, solid-state reliability, and superior temperature stability.With digital rather than manual control, the AD5290 provides layout flexibility and allows closed-loop dynamic controllability.The AD5290 is available in MSOP-10 package and has 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, and 100 kΩ options. All parts are guaranteed to operate over the –40°C to +125°C extended automotive temperature range.Applications High voltage DAC Programmable power supply Programmable gain and offset adjustment Programmable filters and delays Actuator control Audio volume control Mechanical potentiometer replacement1 The RDAC segmentation is protected by U.S. Patent Number 5,495,245.
