AD5272數(shù)字變阻器

前言

AD5272 是 Analog 公司的電子可變電阻器。它可以被應(yīng)用在各種電子線路中，進行自動參數(shù)設(shè)置和調(diào)節(jié)。AD5272 是一個變阻器(rheostat)兩端器件，而不是電位器（Potentiometer：三端器件）。相對于美國 Xicor 公司的高精度數(shù)字電位器（X9C102,103,104 等），它具有變阻級數(shù)高（1024 級），工作頻帶等特點。

為了對比在博文“寄生電容[1]”對 X9C104 的討論，購買了三片樣品進行實驗驗證。

AD5272 簡介

1. 內(nèi)部結(jié)構(gòu)

AD5272 是一款 MSOP 10 管腳封裝的芯片。包括有工作電源、地線，與 MCU 連接的 I2C 接口，以及可變電阻的兩端（A-W）。此外還有一些輔助設(shè)置管腳。詳細介紹可以參見他的數(shù)據(jù)手冊。下面是 AD5272 的外部管腳以及內(nèi)部結(jié)構(gòu)功能圖。

從上圖可以看出 AD5272 對外的應(yīng)用端口只有兩個（A,W），它是一個變阻器（Varistor：兩端器件）。

3. 測試電路板

為了測試 AD5272 的性能，快速制作一塊電路板，將其封裝在電路板上，通過 100mil 的外部引線在面包板上與其它測試電路連接進行相關(guān)的測試。

下面是設(shè)計的測試電路板的原理圖和 PCB 版圖。

測試方案

由于 AD5272 的控制是通過 I2C 總線完成的，所以需要借助于一塊 MCU 完成對 AD5272 的數(shù)字控制。下面介紹實驗 MCU 板以及相應(yīng)的軟件開發(fā)。

1. 實驗 MCU 板

實驗電路板 MCU 采用 STC8G1K08 對 AD5272 進行控制。該電路板的詳細介紹在“基于 STC8G1K08 的實驗電路板[2]”中展示。

使用 PK3 端口的 pin6(SCL)和 pin7(SDA)[I2C 總線第四個輸出備選端口]，與 AD5275 的 PK3 的 pin4(SCL),pin5(SDA)相連，組成實驗電路。

2. 測試軟件

（1） I2C 地址：AD5272 的 7 位地址組成包括兩部分：

1. 前 5 位位 :01011 最后兩位是由 ADDR 管腳的電壓確定，具體可以參見下面表格：

（2）相關(guān)子程序：AD5272 的功能設(shè)置，可以參見其數(shù)據(jù)手冊中的說明。在 CSDN 中給出了 AD5272 接口程序。這些程序上層依賴于 STC8G1K08 的 I2C 操作的函數(shù)支持。

測試結(jié)果

將實驗電路板在面包板上連接，進行相關(guān)的性能測試。
