RESISTANCE SCALING
The AD5235 offers 25 kΩ or 250 kΩ nominal resistance. When
users need lower resistance but must maintain the number of
adjustment steps, they can parallel multiple devices. For example,
Figure 57 shows a simple scheme of paralleling two channels of
RDACs. To adjust half the resistance linearly per step, program
both RDACs concurrently with the same settings.
In voltage divider mode, by paralleling a discrete resistor, as
shown in Figure 58, a proportionately lower voltage appears at
Terminal A to Terminal B. This translates into a finer degree of
precision because the step size at Terminal W is smaller. The
voltage can be found as
Figure 57 and Figure 58 show that the digital potentiometers
change steps linearly. Alternatively, pseudo log taper adjustment
is usually preferred in applications such as audio control. Figure 59
shows another type of resistance scaling. In this configuration,
the smaller the R2 with respect to R
taper characteristic of the circuit behaves.
The equation is approximated as
Users should also be aware of the need for tolerance matching
as well as for temperature coefficient matching of the components.

RESISTANCE TOLERANCE, DRIFT, AND
TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT MISMATCH
CONSIDERATIONS
In rheostat mode operation, such as gain control, the tolerance
mismatch between the digital potentiometer and the discrete
resistor can cause repeatability issues among various systems
(see Figure 60). Because of the inherent matching of the silicon
process, it is practical to apply the dual-channel device in this
type of application. As such, R1 can be replaced by one of the
channels of the digital potentiometer and programmed to a
specific value. R2 can be used for the adjustable gain. Although it
adds cost, this approach minimizes the tolerance and temperature
coefficient mismatch between R1 and R2. This approach also
tracks the resistance drift over time. As a result, these less than
ideal parameters become less sensitive to system variations.
Note that the circuit in Figure 61 can track tolerance, temperature
coefficient, and drift in this particular application. The characteristic
of the transfer function is, however, a pseudo log rather than a
linear gain function.
