AD7376屬于集成電路（IC）的數(shù)字電位計。由亞德諾半導(dǎo)體技術(shù)有限公司制造生產(chǎn)的AD7376數(shù)字電位計數(shù)字電位器是一系列集成電路器件，可提供類似于傳統(tǒng)機(jī)械電位器或變阻器的可調(diào)節(jié)電阻，但通過電子信號而非機(jī)械輸入來進(jìn)行控制。雖然這些器件的電阻可耗散的電能相對有限，但其電子控制能力有助于小型化、自動化和遠(yuǎn)程控制信號級模擬電路，而這些電路本來可能會使用機(jī)械電位器。

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD5232 device provides a nonvolatile, dual-channel, digitally controlled variable resistor (VR) with 256-position resolution. This device performs the same electronic adjustment function as a mechanical potentiometer with enhanced resolution, solid state reliability, and superior low temperature coefficient performance. The versatile programming of the AD5232, per ormed via a microcontroller, allows multiple modes of operation and adjustment.

In the direct program mode, a predetermined setting of the RDAC registers (RDAC1 and RDAC2) can be loaded directly from the microcontroller. Another important mode of operation allows the RDACx register to be refreshed with the setting previously stored in the corresponding EEMEM register (EEMEM1 and EEMEM2). When changes are made to the RDACx register to establish a new wiper position, the value of the setting can be saved into the EEMEMx register by executing an EEMEM save operation. After the settings are saved in the EEMEMx register, these values are automatically transferred to the RDACx register to set the wiper position at system power-on. Such operation is enabled by the internal preset strobe. The preset strobe can also be accessed externally.
