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 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 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
= +1.7V, the wiper terminal is driven with a source current of 150µA for the 10kΩ configu-
ration, 30µA for the 50kΩ configuration, and 15µA for the 100kΩ configuration.
Note 4:
The wiper resistance is the value measured by injecting the currents given in Note 3 into W_ with L_ = GND.

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.
