LAYOUT AND POWER SUPPLY BIASING
It is always a good practice to employ a compact, minimum
lead-length layout design. The leads to the input should be as
direct as possible, with a minimum conductor length. Ground
paths should have low resistance and low inductance.
Similarly, it is also good practice to bypass the power supplies
with quality capacitors. Low equivalent series resistance (ESR)
1 μF to 10 μF tantalum or electrolytic capacitors should be
applied at the supplies to minimize any transient disturbance
and filter low frequency ripple. Figure 39 illustrates the basic
supply-bypassing configuration for the AD5251/AD5252.
The ground pin of the AD5251/AD5252 is used primarily as a
digital ground reference. To minimize the digital ground
bounce, the AD5251/AD5252 ground terminal should be joined
remotely to the common ground (see Figure 39).
DIGITAL POTENTIOMETER OPERATION
The structure of the RDAC is designed to emulate the
performance of a mechanical potentiometer. The RDAC
contains a string of resistor segments with an array of analog
switches that act as the wiper connection to the resistor array.
The number of points is the resolution of the device. For
example, the AD5251/AD5252 emulate 64/256 connection
points with 64/256 equal resistance, R
provide better than 1.5%/0.4% resolution.
Figure 40 provides an equivalent diagram of the connections
between the three terminals that make up one channel of the
RDAC. Switches SW
switches SW(0) to SW(2
the setting decoded from the data bit). Because the switches are
nonideal, there is a 75 Ω wiper resistance, R
is a function of supply voltage and temperature: Lower supply
voltages and higher temperatures result in higher wiper
resistances. Consideration of wiper resistance dynamics is
important in applications in which accurate prediction of
output resistance is required.

PROGRAMMABLE RHEOSTAT OPERATION
If either the W-to-B or W-to-A terminal is used as a variable
resistor, the unused terminal can be opened or shorted with W;
such operation is called rheostat mode (see Figure 41). The
resistance tolerance can range ±20%.
The nominal resistance of the AD5251/AD5252 has 64/256
contact points accessed by the wiper terminal, plus the B terminal
contact. The 6-/8-bit data-word in the RDAC register is decoded
to select one of the 64/256 settings. The wiper’s first connection
starts at the B terminal for Data 0x00. This B terminal connection
has a wiper contact resistance, R

part) is the first tap point where R
