AD5203
–11–REV. 0
The data setup and data hold times in the specification table
determine the data valid time requirements. The last eight bits
of the data word entered into the serial register are held when
CS returns high. At the same time CS goes high it gates the
address decoder which enables one of four positive edge trig-
gered RDAC latches, see Figure 36 detail.

The target RDAC latch is loaded with the last six bits of the
serial data word completing one RDAC update. Four separate
8-bit data words must be clocked in to change all four VR
settings.

DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS
The total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) measures
0.003% using an offset ground with a rail-to-rail OP279 invert-
ing op amp test circuit, see Figure 30. Figure 15 plots THD
versus frequency for both inverting and noninverting amplifier
topologies. Thermal noise is primarily Johnson noise, typically
9 nV/√Hz for the 10 kΩ version measured at 1 kHz. For the
100 kΩ device, thermal noise measures 29 nV/√Hz. Channel-to-
channel crosstalk measures less than –65 dB at f = 100 kHz. To
achieve this isolation, the extra ground pins (AGND) located
between the potentiometer terminals (A, B, W) must be con-
nected to circuit ground. The AGND and DGND pins should
be at the same voltage potential. Any unused potentiometers in
a package should be connected to ground. Power supply rejec-
tion is typically –50 dB at 10 kHz (care is needed to minimize
power supply ripple injection in high accuracy applications).
