AD8400ARZ50

Analog Devices · Digital Potentiometers · SOIC-8

AD8400ARZ50 from Analog Devices, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 B1 passive Terminal B RDAC: the B end terminal of the variable resistor, with the wiper tapping the fixed A-to-B resistance.
2 GND power_in Ground.
3 CS input Active-low chip select input; when CS returns high, data in the serial input register is decoded based on the address bits and loaded into the target DAC register.
4 SDI input Serial data input.
5 CLK input Serial clock input, positive edge triggered.
6 VDD power_in Positive power supply, specified for operation at both 3 V and 5 V.
7 W1 passive Wiper of RDAC, Addr = 002.
8 A1 passive Terminal A RDAC: the A end terminal of the variable resistor, with the wiper tapping the fixed A-to-B resistance.
