Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these
or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.

Note 1:
All devices are 100% production tested at T
A
= +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 = V
DD
and L = GND.
The wiper terminal is unloaded and measured with an ideal 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 the potentiometer configured as a variable resistor. H_ is unconnected and L_ = GND. For V
DD
= +5V, the wiper
terminal is driven with a source current of 400μA for the 10kΩ configuration, 80μA for the 50kΩ configuration, and 40μA for
the 100kΩ configuration. For V
DD
= +2.6V, the wiper terminal is driven with a source current of 200μA for the 10kΩ configu-
ration, 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 in to W with L = GND. R
W
=
(V
W
- V
H
)/I
W
.
Note 5:
Drive HA with a 1kHz GND to V
DD
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 = V
DD
, 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.
