General Description
The MAX5395 single, 256-tap volatile, low-voltage linear taper digital potentiometer offers three end-toend resistance values of 10kΩ, 50kΩ, and 100kΩ. Potentiometer terminals are independent of supply for voltages up to 5.25V with single-supply operation from 1.7V to 5.5V (charge pump enabled). User-controlled shutdown modes allow the H, W, or L terminal to be opened with the wiper position set to zero-code, midcode, full-code, or the value contained in the wiper register. Ultra-low-quiescent supply current (< 1µA) can be achieved for supply voltages between 2.6V and 5.5V by disabling the internal charge pump and not allowing potentiometer terminals to exceed the supply voltage by more than 0.3V. The MAX5395 provides a low 50ppm/°C end-to-end temperature coefficient and features an I2C serial interface.
