MAX5401EKA+T

General Description
The MAX5400/MAX5401 digital potentiometers offer
256-tap SOT-PoT™ digitally controlled variable resis-
tors in tiny 8-pin SOT23 packages. Each device func-
tions as a mechanical potentiometer, consisting of a
fixed resistor string with a digitally controlled wiper con-
tact. They 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 resistor taps, as well as a convenient power-
on reset that sets the wiper to the midscale position at
power-up. A low 5ppm/°C ratiometric temperature coef-
ficient makes it ideal for applications requiring low drift.
The MAX5400/MAX5401 serve well in applications
requiring digitally controlled resistors, including
adjustable voltage references and programmable gain
amplifiers (PGAs). A nominal end-to-end resistor tem-
perature coefficient of 50ppm/°C allows these parts to
be used as variable resistors in applications such as
low-tempco adjustable gain and other circuit configura-
tions.
Two resistance values are available: 50k (MAX5400)
and 100k (MAX5401). Each device is guaranteed over
the extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to
+85°C).

Note 1: Linearity is defined in terms of the H to L code-dependent resistance.
Note 2: The 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: The DNL and INL are measured with the potentiometer configured as a variable resistor. H is unconnected and L = 0. The
wiper terminal is driven with a source current of 80µA for the 50k configuration and 40µA for the 100k configuration.
Note 4: The wiper resistance is measured assuming the source currents given in Note 2.
Note 5: Digital timing is guaranteed by design.
