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

Note 1:
100% production tested at T
A
= +25°C and T
A
= +85°C. Guaranteed by design to T
A
= -40°C.
Note 2:
The DNL and INL are measured with the device configured as a voltage-divider with H = V
DD
and L = V
SS
. The wiper termi-
nal (W) is unloaded and measured with a high-input-impedance voltmeter.
Note 3:
The DNL_R and INL_R are measured with D.N.C. unconnected and L = V
SS
= 0V. For V
DD
= +5V, the wiper terminal is dri-
ven with a source current of I
W
= 80µA for the 50kΩ device and 400µA for the 10kΩ device. For V
DD
= +3V, the wiper termi-
nal is driven with a source current of 40µA for the 50kΩ device and 200µA for the 10kΩ device.
Note 4:
The wiper resistance is measured using the source currents given in Note 3.
Note 5:
The device draws higher supply current when the digital inputs are driven with voltages between (V
DD
- 0.5V) and (V
GND
+
0.5V). See Supply Current vs. Digital Input Voltage in the
Typical Operating Characteristics.
Note 6:
Wiper settling test condition uses the voltage-divider configuration with a 10pF load on W. Transition code from 00000 00000
to 01111 01111 and measure the time from
CS
going high to the wiper voltage settling to within 0.5% of its final value.
