The AD5110/AD5112/AD5114 provide a nonvolatile solution for 128/64/32-position adjustment applications, offering guaranteed low resistor tolerance errors of ±8% and up to ±6 mA current density in the A, B, and W pins. The low resistor tolerance, low nominal temperature coefficient and high bandwidth simplify open-loop applications, as well as tolerance matching applications.

The new low wiper resistance feature minimizes the wiper resistance in the extremes of the resistor array to only 45 Ω, typical.

The wiper settings are controllable through an I2C-compatible digital interface that is also used to readback the wiper register and EEPROM content. Resistor tolerance is stored within EEPROM, providing an end-to-end tolerance accuracy of 0.1%.

The AD5110/AD5112/AD5114 are available in a 2 mm × 2 mm LFCSP package. The parts are guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial temperature range of ?40°C to +125°C.

The goal of this project (Microcontroller No-OS) is to be able to provide reference projects for lower end processors, which can't run Linux, or aren't running a specific operating system, to help those customers using microcontrollers with ADI parts. Here you can find a generic driver which can be used as a base for any microcontroller platform and also specific drivers for Renesas platforms.

HW Platform(s):

• Renesas Demo Kit for RL78G13 (Renesas)

The driver contains two parts:

• The driver for the AD5110 part, which may be used, without modifications, with any microcontroller.
• The Communication Driver, where the specific communication functions for the desired type of processor and communication protocol have to be implemented. This driver implements the communication with the device and hides the actual details of the communication protocol to the ADI driver.

The Communication Driver has a standard interface, so the AD5110 driver can be used exactly as it is provided.

There are three functions which are called by the AD5110 driver:

• I2C_Init() – initializes the communication peripheral.
• I2C_Write() – writes data to the device.
• I2C_Read() – reads data from the device.

The following functions are implemented in this version of AD5110 driver:

This section contains a description of the steps required to run the AD5110 demonstration project on a Renesas RL78G13 platform.

• Renesas Demo Kit for RL78G13 (Renesas)
• EVAL-AD5110SDZ(ADI)

• IAR Embedded Workbench for Renesas RL78 Kickstart

An EVAL-AD5110SDZ has to be interfaced with the Renesas Demonstration Kit (RDK) for RL78G13:

  EVAL-AD5110SDZ LK5(Right pin) SCL  → YRDKRL78G13 J9 connector Pin 1
  EVAL-AD5110SDZ LK3(Right pin) SDA  → YRDKRL78G13 J9 connector Pin 3

The reference project initializes the I2C communication peripheral, configures the AD5110 output resistance to 1500 Ohm, stores and reads back data from EEPROM and displays the resistor tolerance.
