GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This user guide describes the evaluation board for evaluating the

AD5232—a dual-channel, 256-position, nonvolatile memory

digital potentiometer. With versatile programmability, the AD5232

allows multiple modes of operation, including read/write access

in the RDAC and EEMEM registers, increment/decrement of

resistance, resistance changes in ±6 dB scales, wiper setting read-

back, and extra EEMEM for storing user-defined information,

such as memory data for other components or a lookup table.

The AD5232 supports dual-supply ±2.25 V to ±2.75 V operation

and single-supply 2.7 V to 5.5 V operation, making the device

suited for battery-powered applications and many other appli-

cations. In addition, the AD5232 uses a versatile SPI-compatible

serial interface, allowing speeds of up to 50 MHz .

The EVAL-AD5232SDZ can operate in single-supply and dual-

supply mode and incorporates an internal power supply from

the USB.

Complete specifications for the AD5232 part can be found in

the AD5232 data sheet, which is available from Analog Devices,

Inc., and should be consulted in conjunction with this user

guide when using the evaluation board.

EVAL-AD5232SDZ User Guide UG-347 EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE POWER SUPPLIES LINK OPTIONS The EVAL-AD5232SDZ supports the use of single and dual power supplies. Several link and switch options are incorporated into the evaluation board and should be set up before using the board. Table 2 describes the positions of the links to control the evaluation board by a PC, via the SDP-B board, using the EVAL-AD5232SDZ in single-supply mode.

UG-347 EVAL-AD5232SDZ User Guide TEST CIRCUITS 1µF The EVAL-AD5232SDZ incorporates several test circuits to evaluate the AD5232 performance. VDD – VSS 2 AC + DC AC AC_INPUT R34 A1 DAC RDAC1 RDAC1 can be operated as a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), as shown in Figure 2.
