Lockin amplifier AD630

Thread Summary

The user inquired about using the AD5292BRUZ-20 digital potentiometer for differential and common mode offset adjustments. The final answer recommends using a 10k potentiometer for balancing the collector current sources and compensating for transistor mismatches. The engineer also asked about the specific reasons for choosing a digital pot over a simpler trim pot.

Hi Dear,

Can I use a 20k digital potentiomenter (AD5292BRUZ-20) in the differential offset ajust and (other AD5292BRUZ-20) in the commum mode offset adjust?

  • Hi  

    Regarding the resistance value, we recommend using 10k pot. The pot is used to balance the collector current sources of the input transconductance stage and compensates for mismatches in transistor sizes, due to this the 10k value is OK.

    May we ask the reason why you want to use a digital potentiometer? Is it something about the accuracy of resistance values, or you want to implement a system that can change the resistance values based on the resulting output voltages (feedback control system)? A simple trim pot is also applicable for this application since it is much simpler and cheaper.
