Description

The AS1507 is a linear, dual 256-tap digital potentiometer specifically designed to replace discrete/mechanical potentiometers and is ideal for applications requiring a low-temperature-coefficient variable resistor.

The device is controlled via a 3-wire SPI-compatible interface and features an internal EEPROM for storing wiper positions.

Several device variants are available differentiated by the following end-to-end resistance:

Model

End-to-End Resistance (kΩ)

AS1507-10

10

AS1507-50

50

AS1507-100

100

The 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface allows communication at data rates up to 5MHz.The internal EEPROM stores the last wiper position for initialization during power-up and a low-power standby mode.

The devices are available in an TQFN 3x3mm 16-pin package.
