MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489
Dual, 256-Tap, Nonvolatile, SPI-Interface,
Linear-Taper Digital Potentiometers
4 _______________________________________________________________________________________
Note 1: All devices are production tested at T
A
= +85°C and are guaranteed by design and characterization for -40°C < T
A
< +85°C.
Note 2: DNL and INL are measured with the potentiometer configured as a voltage-divider with H_ = V
DD
and L_ = 0. The wiper terminal
is unloaded and measured with an ideal voltmeter.
Note 3: DNL and INL are measured with the potentiometer configured as a variable resistor. H_ is unconnected and L_ = 0. For V
DD
=
+5V, the wiper terminal is driven with a source current of 400µA for the 10kΩ configuration, 80µA for the 50kΩ configuration,
and 40µA for the 100kΩ configuration. For V
DD
= +3V, the wiper terminal is driven with a source current of 200µA for the 10kΩ
configuration, 40µA for the 50kΩ configuration, and 20µA for the 100kΩ configuration.
Note 4: The wiper resistance is the worst value measured by injecting the currents given in Note 3 into W_ with L_ = GND. R
W
=
(V
W
- V
H
) / I
W
.
Note 5: The device draws higher supply current when the digital inputs are driven with voltages between (V
DD
- 0.5V) and (GND +
0.5V). See Supply Current vs. Digital Input Voltage in the
Typical Operating Characteristics
section.
Note 6: Wiper at midscale with a 10pF load.
Note 7: Wiper-settling time is the worst-case 0-to-50% rise time, measured between tap 0 and tap 127. H_ = V
DD
, L_ = GND, and
the wiper terminal is unloaded and measured with a 10pF oscilloscope probe (see Tap-to-Tap Switching Transient in the
Typical Operating Characteristics
section).
Note 8: Digital timing is guaranteed by design and characterization, and is not production tested.
