Dual 256-Tap, Low-Drift, Digital Potentiometers in 10-µMAX
General Description
The MAX5403/MAX5404/MAX5405 is a family of dual linear taper digital potentiometers. Each device has one 3-terminal potentiometer and one 2-terminal variable resistor (Figure 1). The MAX5403/MAX5404/MAX5405 operate from +2.7V to +5.5V single-supply voltages and use an ultra-low supply current of 0.1µA. These devices also provide glitchless switching between resistors taps as well as a convenient power-on reset (POR) that sets the wiper to the midscale position at power-up. The potentiometer consists of a fixed resistor with a wiper contact that is digitally controlled through a 3-wire serial interface and has 256-tap points. It performs the same function as a discrete potentiometer or variable resistor. These parts are ideal for applications requiring digitally controlled resistors. Three resistance values are available: 10kΩ (MAX5403), 50kΩ (MAX5404), and 100kΩ (MAX5405). A nominal resistor-temperature coefficient of 35ppm/°C end-to-end and 5ppm/°C ratiometric make the MAX5403/MAX5404/MAX5405 ideal for applications requiring low temperature-coefficient variable resistors, such as adjustable-gain circuit configurations. The MAX5403/MAX5404/MAX5405 are available in a 10pin µMAX package. Each device is guaranteed over the extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). o 256-Tap Positions o Ultra Low 0.1µA Supply Current o +2.7V to +5.5V Single-Supply Operation o Low End-To-End Temperature Coefficient: 35ppm/°C o Low Ratiometric Temperature Coefficient: 5ppm/°C o Power-On Reset: Wiper Goes to Midscale (Position 128) o Glitchless Switching Between Resistor Taps o 3-Wire SPI™ -Interface Compatible o 10kΩ/50kΩ/100kΩ Resistor Values

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
