Using CS to Re-Execute a Previous Command
Another subtle feature of the AD5235 is that a subsequent CS
strobe, without clock and data, repeats a previous command.
Using Additional Internal Nonvolatile EEMEM
The AD5235 contains additional user EEMEM registers for
storing any 16-bit data such as memory data for other components,
look-up tables, or system identification information. Table 9 pro-
vides an address map of the internal storage registers shown in the
functional block diagram (see Figure 1) as EEMEM1, EEMEM2,
and 26 bytes (13 addresses × 2 bytes each) of User EEMEM.

Calculating Actual End-to-End Terminal Resistance
The resistance tolerance is stored in the EEMEM register during
factory testing. The actual end-to-end resistance can, therefore,
be calculated, which is valuable for calibration, tolerance matching,
and precision applications. Note that this value is read only and
the R
The resistance tolerance in percentage is contained in the last
16 bits of data in EEMEM Register 15. The format is the sign
magnitude binary format with the MSB designate for sign
(0 = negative and 1 = positive), the next 7 MSB designate the
integer number, and the 8 LSB designate the decimal number
(see Table 11).

RDAC data stored in EEMEM locations is transferred to the corresponding
RDAC register at power-on, or when Instruction 1, Instruction 8, and PR are
executed.
USERx are internal nonvolatile EEMEM registers available to store and
retrieve constants and other 16-bit information using Instruction 3 and
Instruction 9, respectively.

RDAC STRUCTURE
The patent-pending RDAC contains multiple strings of equal
resistor segments with an array of analog switches that acts as
the wiper connection. The number of positions is the resolution of
the device. The AD5235 has 1024 connection points, allowing it to
provide better than 0.1% setability resolution. Figure 45 shows
an equivalent structure of the connections among the three
terminals of the RDAC. The SW

on the resistance position decoded from the data bits. Because
the switch is not ideal, there is a 50 Ω wiper resistance, R
Wiper resistance is a function of supply voltage and temperature.
The lower the supply voltage or the higher the temperature, the
higher the resulting wiper resistance. Users should be aware of
the wiper resistance dynamics, if accurate prediction of the
output resistance is needed.
