programming rates up to 10MHz. The AS1500 is available in
four different resistor values. The AS1500 incorporates a
10kΩ, the AS1501 a 20kΩ, the AS1502 a 50kΩ and the
AS1503 a 100kΩ fixed resistor. The wiper contact taps the
fixed resistor at points determined by the 8-bit digital code
word. The resistance between the wiper and the endpoint of
the resistor is linear. The switching action is performed in a
way that no glitches occur. Furthermore the AS150x product
family includes a shutdown mode, where it consumes less
than 1µA. The AS150x is available in an 8-pin SOIC
package. All parts are guaranteed to operate over the
extended industrial temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
Applications
General Description
The AS1500 is a digital potentiometer with 256
programmable steps. The values of the resistor can be
controlled via 3 wire serial interface capable to handle

Detailed Description
Serial-Programming
Programming of the AS150x is done via the 3 wire serial
interface. The three input signals are serial data input
(SDI), clock(CK) and chip select (CS). A programming
sequence consists of 10-bit, where the last eight bit
contain the code word for the resistor value. The first two
bits A1 and A0 have to be low(see Table ). The data is
shifted into the internal 10 Bit register with the rising edge
of the CK signal. With the rising edge of the CSN signal
the data becomes valid and the resistance is updated (see
figure 2). A detailed block diagram is shown in figure 3.

Rheostat Operation
The digital potentiometer family AS150x offers nominal
resistor values of 10kΩ, 20 kΩ, 50kΩ and 100kΩ. The
resistor has 256 contact points where the wiper can access
the resistor. The 8-bit code word determines the position
of the wiper and is decoded through an internal logic. The
lowest code 00h is related to the terminal B. The
resistance is then only determined by the wiper resistance
(100Ω). The resistance for the next code 01h is the
nominal resistor RAB (10kΩ, 20 kΩ, 50kΩ or 100kΩ)
divided through 256 plus the wiper resistor. In case of
AS1501 (10kΩ) the total resistance is 39Ω+100Ω=139Ω.
Accordingly the resistor for code 02h is 78Ω+100Ω=178Ω.
The last code 255h does not connect to terminal A directly
(see Figure 5). So the maximum value is 10000Ω - 39Ω
+100Ω = 10061Ω. The general formula for the calculation
of the resistance R
WB
is:
R

Typicals represent average readings at 25°C and VDD=5V.
Guaranteed by design and not subject to production test.
Resistor-terminal capacitance tests are measured with 2.5V
bias on the measured terminal. The remaining resistor
terminals are left open circuit.
See timing diagram for location of measured values. All input
control voltages are specified with t
R
= t
F
= 1ns (10% to 90% of
VDD) and timed from a voltage level of 1.6V. Switching
characteristics are measured using VDD=3V or 5V. To avoid
false clocking, a minimum input logic slew rate of 1V/µs should
be maintained.
where R
AB
is the nominal resistance between terminal A
and B, R
W
is the wiper resistance and D
X
is the 8-Bit Code
word. In Table 7 the resistor values between the wiper and
terminal B for AS1501 are given for specific codes D
X
. In
the zero-scale condition the wiper resistance of 100Ω
remains present.
