(VDD = +2.6V to +5.5V, VH_ = VDD, VL_ = 0V, TA = -40°C to +125°C, unless otherwise noted. Typical values are at VDD = +5V,
TA = +25°C.) (Note 1)
Note 1: All devices are 100% production tested at TA = +25°C. Specifications over temperature limits are guaranteed by design and
characterization.
Note 2: DNL and INL are measured with the potentiometer configured as a voltage-divider (Figure 1) with H_ = VDD and L_ = GND.
The wiper terminal is unloaded and measured with a high-input-impedance voltmeter.
Note 3: R-DNL and R-INL are measured with the potentiometer configured as a variable resistor (Figure 1). DNL and INL are mea-
sured with potentiometer configured as a variable resistor. H_ is unconnected and L_ = GND. For VDD = +5V, the wiper ter-
minal is driven with a source current of 400μA for the 10kΩ configuration, 80μA for the 50kΩ configuration, and 40μA for the
100kΩ configuration. For VDD = +2.6V, the wiper terminal is driven with a source current of 200μA for the 10kΩ configuration,
40μA for the 50kΩ configuration, and 20μA for the 100kΩ configuration.
Note 4: The wiper resistance is the worst value measured by injecting the currents given in Note 3 into W_ with L_ = GND.
RW = VW - VH)/IW.
Note 5: Drive HA with a 1kHz, GND to VDD amplitude, tone. LA = LB = GND. No load. WB is at midscale with a 10pF load. Measure
WB.
Note 6: The wiper-settling time is the worst case 0 to 50% rise time, measured between tap 0 and tap 127. H_ = VDD, L_ = GND, and
the wiper terminal is loaded with 10pF capacitance to ground.
Note 7: Digital timing is guaranteed by design and characterization, not production tested.
