GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
This user guide describes the evaluation board for evaluating the 
—a dual-channel, 1024-position, nonvolatile memory 
digital potentiometer. With versatile programmability, the AD5235 
allows multiple modes of operation, including read/write access 
in the RDAC and EEMEM registers, increment/decrement of 
resistance, resistance changes in ±6 dB scales, wiper setting read-
back, and extra EEMEM for storing user-defined information, 
such as memory data for other components or a lookup table.  
The AD5235 supports dual-supply ±2.25 V to ±2.75 V operation 
and single-supply 2.7 V to 5.5 V operation, making the device 
suited for battery-powered applications and many other appli-
cations. In addition, the AD5235 uses a versatile SPI-compatible 
serial interface, allowing speeds of up to 50 MHz . 
The EVAL-AD5235SDZ can operate in single-supply and dual-
supply mode and incorporates an internal power supply from 
the USB. 
Complete specifications for the AD5235 part can be found in 
the 
 data sheet, which is available from Analog Devices, 
Inc., and should be consulted in conjunction with this user 
guide when using the evaluation board.
