MAX5450

19-1997; Rev 2; 2/06 MAX5450–MAX5455 Dual, 256-Tap, Up/Down Interface, Digital Potentiometers General Description Features The MAX5450–MAX5455 are a family of dual digital potentiometers that perform the same function as a mechanical potentiometer or variable resistor. The MAX5451/MAX5453/MAX5455 have two 3-terminal potentiometers and the MAX5450/MAX5452/MAX5454 have two 2-terminal variable resistors. The MAX5450– MAX5455 operate from a +2.7V to +5.5V single-supply voltage and use an ultra-low supply current of 0.1µA. These devices consist of two fixed resistors each with 256 digitally-controlled wiper contacts. The convenient power-on reset (POR) sets the wiper to midscale position at power-up and the easy-to-use up/down interface allows glitchless switching between resistor taps. Six inputs control the 14-pin MAX5451/ MAX5453/MAX5455 potentiometers. Four inputs control the 10-pin MAX5450/MAX5452/MAX5454 variable resistors. The MAX5450–MAX5455 are ideal for applications ...
