Hello!
I'm currently building a circuit using an 8-pin DIP Digital Potentiometer (AD5171) and controlling it with an Arduino. I was wondering if these digital potentiometers have (in a general sense) an "Isolated ground". If I end up running my Arduino controlling an AD5171 on an isolated ground loop will it still work? I'm sure it will but there's always the possibility that it won't. If the ground is "Isolated" do I connect pin 6 of the AD5171 to the logic ground?
