10-Bit, Dual, Nonvolatile, Linear-Taper
Digital Potentiometers
The MAX5494–MAX5499 dual, nonvolatile, linear-taper,
programmable voltage-dividers and variable resistors
feature 1024 tap points (10-bit resolution) (see the
Functional Diagrams ). These devices consist of multi-
ple strings of equal resistor segments with a wiper con-
tact that moves among the 1024 effective tap points by
a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface. The
MAX5494/MAX5496/MAX5498 provide a total 10kΩ
end-to-end resistance, and the MAX5495/MAX5497/
MAX5499 feature a 50kΩ end-to-end resistance. The
MAX5494/MAX5495/MAX5498/MAX5499 allow access
to the high, low, and wiper terminals for a standard volt-
age-divider configuration. Ensure that the terminal volt-
ages fall between V
The MAX5494/MAX5495/MAX5498/MAX5499 program-
mable voltage-dividers provide a weighted average of
the voltage between the H_ and L_ inputs at the W_
output.
The MAX5494/MAX5495/MAX5498/MAX5499 program-
mable voltage-divider network provides up to 1024
division ratios between the H_ and L_ voltage. Ideally,
the V
data bits are zeros and the V
wiper terminal when all data bits are one (see the wiper
voltage equation). The step-size voltage (1 LSB) is
equal to the voltage applied across terminals H and L
divided by 2
lows:

The MAX5494/MAX5498 provide a 10kΩ end-to-end
resistance value, while the MAX5495/MAX5499 feature a
50kΩ end-to-end resistance value. Note that the pro-
grammable voltage-divider is not intended to be used
as a variable resistor. Wiper current creates a nonlinear
voltage drop in series with the wiper. To ensure tempera-
ture drift remains within specifications, do not pull current
through the voltage-divider wiper. Connect the wiper to a
high-impedance node. Figures 4 and 5 show the behav-
ior of the programmable voltage-divider resistance from
W_ to H_ and W_ to L_, respectively. This does not apply
to the variable-resistor devices.
The MAX5496–MAX5499 provide a programmable resis-
tance from W_ to L_. The MAX5496/MAX5498 provide a
10kΩ end-to-end resistance value, while the
MAX5497/MAX5499 feature a 50kΩ end-to-end resis-
tance value. The programmable resolution of this
