Dear Analog experts
I am having some problems using your AD5170BRMZ50 I2C potentiometer.
When the potentiometer terminals are not connected it works fine and I can adjust the resistance by I2C.
But when the device is connected to the LDO (LP3875-ADJ) without having the LDO turned on or having voltage on the input side of the LDO.
The resistance suddenly measures several mega ohms.
AD5170BRMZ50 is connected to the LP3875-ADJ as the R1 and R2 voltage divider illustrated in the datasheet of the LP3875-ADJ.
when I disconnect the AD5170BRMZ50 from the LDO it still measures many mega ohms, for a while (1 hour). Even if I cycle the power on and off several times. After then it apears that the resistance is back to Rwa=25K Rwb=25K (initial condition)
What can be wrong?
The AD5170BRMZ50 is supplied a battery voltage of 3,7 V.
Looking forward to your reply
best regards
