AD5242BRZ10-REEL7 Digital Potentiometer 10k Ohm 2 Circuit I²C Interface
The AD5242BRZ10-REEL7 is a highly reliable, dual-channel, 256-position digital potentiometer engineered by Analog Devices (ADI) to deliver precise resistance adjustment completely immune to mechanical wear, vibration, and environmental contamination. Housed in a compact 16-lead narrow-body SOIC package, this specific “REEL7” variant is supplied on tape and reel, tailored explicitly for seamless integration into automated surface-mount technology (SMT) production workflows. Operating from a single 3V to 5.5V supply and featuring an ultra-low standby current, it serves as an optimal solid-state replacement for mechanical trimmers in modern space-constrained and battery-powered designs where long-term reliability and high packing density are paramount.
AD5242BRZ10-REEL7 digital potentiometer Highlights & Applications
● Dual-Channel 10kΩ Adjustment: Provides independent, simultaneous control over two separate resistive networks within a single, space-saving IC footprint.
● I2C Serial Interface: Enables straightforward microcontroller integration with minimal GPIO wiring overhead and fast data transfer rates.
● Audio Volume Control: Ideal for electronic equalizers, professional mixing consoles, and consumer multimedia systems requiring glitch-free switching.
● Sensor Calibration: Facilitates automated offset and gain trimming in industrial pressure, temperature, and optical sensor modules.
● Programmable Power Supplies: Serves as a highly stable, adjustable feedback divider for DC-DC converters and low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulators.
