256-Tap SOT-PoT,
Low-Drift Digital Potentiometers in SOT23
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: 50kΩ (MAX5400)
and 100kΩ (MAX5401). Each device is guaranteed over
the extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to
+85°C).

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

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 50kΩ configuration and 40µA for the 100kΩ configuration.
Note 4:
The wiper resistance is measured assuming the source currents given in Note 2.
Note 5:
Digital timing is guaranteed by design.
