Dual, 256-Tap, Up/Down Interface,
Digital Potentiometers
General Description
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 conve-
nient 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 resis-
tors.
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 guaran-
teed 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_ = GND. 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. For the 3-terminal potentiometers
(MAX5451/MAX5453/MAX5455), H_ is unconnected and L_ = GND. For the 2-terminal potentiometers
(MAX5450/MAX5452/MAX5454), L_ = GND. At V
DD
= +5V, the wiper terminal is driven with a source current of 400µA for the
10kΩ configuration, 80µA for the 50kΩ configuration, and 40µA for the 100kΩ configuration. At V
DD
= +3V,
200µA/40µA/20µA for 10kΩ/50kΩ/100kΩ configuration, respectively.
Note 4:
The wiper resistance is the worst value measured by injecting the currents given in Note 3 into W_ with L_ = GND. R
W
_ =
(V
W
_ - V
H
_) / I
W
_.
Note 5:
Device draws higher supply current when digital inputs are driven with voltages between (V
DD
- 0.5V) and (GND + 0.5V).
(See Supply Current vs. Digital Input Voltage in the
Typical Operating Characteristics.)
Note 6:
Wiper-Settling Time is the worst case 0% to 50% rise-time measured between consecutive wiper positions. H_ = V
DD
, L_ =
GND, and the wiper terminal is unloaded and measured with a 10pF oscilloscope probe (see Tap-To-Tap Switching
Transient in the
Typical Operating Characteristics).
Note 7:
Digital timing is guaranteed by design.
