Dual, 256-Tap, Volatile, Low-Voltage
Linear Taper Digital Potentiometers
The MAX5386/MAX5388 dual, 256-tap, volatile, low-voltage
linear taper digital potentiometers offer three end-to-end
resistance values of 10kI, 50kI, and 100kI. Operating
from a single +2.6V to +5.5V power supply these devices
provide a low 35ppm/NC end-to-end temperature
coefficient. The devices feature an SPIK interface.
The small package size, low supply voltage, low supply current, and automotive temperature range of the
MAX5386/MAX5388 make the devices uniquely suitable
for the portable consumer market, battery backup industrial applications, and the automotive market.
The MAX5386 includes two digital potentiometers in a
voltage-divider configuration. The MAX5388 includes
one digital potentiometer in a voltage-divider configuration and one digital potentiometer in a variable-resistor
configuration. The MAX5386/MAX5388 are specified
over an extended -40NC to +125NC temperature range
and are available in 16-pin, 3mm x 3mm TQFN or 10-pin,
3mm x 5mm FMAXM packages, respectively.

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: All devices are 100% production tested at TA = +25°C. Specifications over temperature limits are guaranteed by design
and characterization.
Note 2: DNL and INL are measured with the potentiometer configured as a voltage-divider (Figure 1) with H = VDD and L = GND.
The wiper terminal is unloaded and measured with an ideal voltmeter.
Note 3: R-DNL and R-INL are measured with the potentiometer configured as a variable resistor (Figure 1). DNL and INL are measured with the potentiometer configured as a variable resistor. H_ is unconnected and L_ = GND. For VDD = +5V, the wiper
terminal is driven with a source current of 400µA for the 10kI configuration, 80µA for the 50kI configuration, and 40µA for
the 100kI configuration. For VDD = +2.6V, the wiper terminal is driven with a source current of 200µA for the 10kI configuration, 40µA for the 50kI configuration, and 20µA for the 100kI configuration.
Note 4: The wiper resistance is the worst value measured by injecting the currents given in Note 3 in to W with L = GND. RW = (VW
- VH)/IW.
Note 5: Drive HA with a 1kHz GND to VDD amplitude tone. LA = LB = GND. No load. WB is at midscale with a 10pF load. Measure
WB.
Note 6: The wiper-settling time is the worst case 0 to 50% rise time, measured between tap 0 and tap 127. H = VDD, L = GND, and
the wiper terminal is loaded with 10pF capacitance to ground.
Note 7: Digital timing is guaranteed by design and characterization, not production tested.

Pin Description
MAX5386/MAX5388
Dual, 256-Tap, Volatile, Low-Voltage
Linear Taper Digital Potentiometers
Detailed Description
The MAX5386/MAX5388 dual, 256-tap, volatile low-voltage linear taper digital potentiometers offer three end-toend resistance values of 10kI, 50kI, and 100kI. Each
potentiometer consists of 255 fixed resistors in series
between terminals H and L. The potentiometer wiper, W,
is programmable to access anyone of the 256 tap points
on the resistor string.
The potentiometers in each device are programmable
independently of each other. The MAX5386/MAX5388
have an SPI interface.
SPI Digital Interface
The MAX5386/MAX5388 include an SPI interface, which
provides a 3-wire write-only serial data interface to control the wiper tap position through inputs chip select
(CS), data in (DIN), and data clock (SCLK). Drive CS
low to load data from DIN synchronously into the serial
shift register on the rising edge of each SCLK pulse.
The MAX5386/MAX5388 load the last 9 bits of clocked
data once CS transitions high. See Figures 2 and 3.
After all the data bits are shifted in, data are latched into
the appropriate potentiometer control register when CS
goes from low to high. Data written to a memory register
immediately updates the wiper position. Keep CS low
during the entire data stream to prevent the data from
being terminated.
The first bit A0 (address bit) addresses one of the two
potentiometers; writing a zero in A0 addresses control
register A and writing a one in A0 addresses control register B. See Table 1. The power-on reset (POR) circuitry
sets the wiper to midscale (D[7:0] 1000 0000).
The 8 data bits (D7–D0) indicate the position of the
wiper. For D[7:0] = 0000 0000, the wiper moves to the
position closest to L. For D[7:0] = 1111 1111, the wiper
moves closest to H. D[7:0] is 1000 0000 following poweron for both registers A and B.
Register A: The data byte writes to register A, and the
wiper of potentiometer A moves to the appropriate position at the rising edge of CS. D[7:0] indicates the position of the wiper. D[7:0] = 0000 0000 moves the wiper to
the position closest to L. D[7:0] = 1111 1111 moves the
wiper to the position closest to H. D[7:0] is 1000 0000
following power-on.
Register B: The data byte writes to register B, and the
wiper of potentiometer B moves to the appropriate position at the rising edge of CS. D[7:0] indicates the position of the wiper. D[7:0] = 0000 0000 moves the wiper to
the position closest to L. D[7:0] = 1111 1111 moves the
wiper to the position closest to H. D[7:0] is 1000 0000
following power-on.
