al interface, transmitting at rates up to 400kbps. The

MAX5417L is programmed with a factory-preset address

and features an address input for a total of two unique

address combinations. The MAX5417L EV kit can also be

used to evaluate other versions of the MAX5417,

MAX5418 (100kΩ), and MAX5419 (200kΩ) digital

potentiometers.

ible software that provides a professional user interface

for exercising the MAX5417L’s features. The program is

menu-driven and offers a graphical user interface (GUI)

complete with control buttons and a track bar.
