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 requiring digitally-controlled resistors. Three resistance values are available: 10kΩ, 50kΩ, and 100kΩ. An end-to-end resistor temperature coefficient of 35ppm/°C and a ratiometric temperature coefficient of 5ppm/°C make the MAX5450—MAX5455 excellent choices for adjustable gain circuit requiring low-temperature drift.The MAX5450—MAX5455 are available in 10-pin µMAX® and 14-pin TSSOP packages. Each device is guaranteed over the extended—industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).ApplicationsAdjustable Linear RegulatorsAdjustable Voltage ReferenceImpedance MatchingLCD Screen AdjustmentLow-Drift Programmable-Gain Amplifier (PGA)Mechanical Potentiometer ReplacementProgrammable Filters, Delays, Time ConstantsVolume Control

The MAX5456/MAX5457 dual, logarithmic taper digital potentiometers feature a simple pushbutton interface that controls volume and balance in audio applications. Each potentiometer has 32 tap points and replaces mechanical potentiometers. Refer to the MAX5408–MAX5411 data sheet for SPI versions of the MAX5456/MAX5457.Use the MAX5456/MAX5457 digital inputs with momentary contact single-pole/single-throw (SPST) pushbutton switches. Each input includes internal debounce circuitry and a 50kΩ pullup resistor.The MAX5456/MAX5457 advance the wiper setting once per button push. Maxim's proprietary SmartWiper™ control eliminates the need for a microcomputer to increase the wiper transition rate. Holding the control input low for more than 1s advances the wiper at a rate of 4Hz for 4s and 16Hz per second thereafter.The MAX5456/MAX5457 provide temperature coefficients of 50ppm/°C end-to-end and 5ppm/°C ratiometric and a nominal resistance of 10kΩ per potentiometer. An integrated click/pop suppression feature minimizes the audible noise generated by wiper transitions. The typical total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) for these devices is 0.01%.The MAX5457 features a 3-button interface with an active-low MODE input that toggles between volume- and balance-control modes. An LED output indicates volume or balance mode. The MAX5456 features a 4-button interface with separate inputs for up and down volume controls and left and right balance controls.The MAX5456/MAX5457 is available in a 16-pin QSOP packages and specified over the extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.ApplicationsFading and Balancing Stereo SignalsStereo Blending and MixingStereo Volume Control
