They perform the same function as mechanical potentiometers, but replace the mechanics with a simple digital interface. The digital logic is powered by a separate single +2.7V to +5.25V supply voltage (VCC). The resistor string uses its own analog supplies (V DD and V SS ) that require VDD - VSS to be greater than 9V and less than 31.5V. This allows for greater flexibility in voltage ranges that can be used with these devices. Examples of analog supply ranges include not only dual voltages of ±5V to ±15V, but single-supply voltages, such as +10V, +15V, +30V, -30V, and more, as long as the ranges of VDD - VSS and VCC VSS are met. The MAX5437/MAX5439 include an on-chip, highvoltage, uncommitted amplifier, providing additional reductions in board space and cost. Other features include low 35ppm/°C end-to-end and 5ppm/°C ratiometric resistor temperature coefficients, a 3-wire SPI™/ QSPI™/MICROWIRE™-compatible serial interface, and a power-on reset to midscale. The MAX5436/MAX5438 are available in 10-pin µMAX packages. The MAX5437/MAX5439 are available in 14pin TSSOP package. Each device is guaranteed over the extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Bypass with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND. Detailed Description Digital Interface Operation The MAX5436–MAX5439 use a 3-wire SPI/QSPI/ MICROWIRE-compatible serial data interface to control the wiper position. This write-only interface contains three inputs: chip select (CS), data in (DIN), and serial clock (SCLK). When CS is taken low, data from DIN is synchronously loaded into the serial shift register on the rising edge of each SCLK pulse (Figure 2). The 8-bit data word requires 8 clock pulses to input the serial data. Note that the first bit of the data word, D7, is unused and should be ignored. Therefore, the second rising edge of SCLK loads the MSB. After all the data bits have been shifted in, they are latched into the potentiometer control register when CS transitions from low to high, the wiper position is then updated. Note that if CS is not kept low during the entire data stream, the data will be corrupted and the device will need to be reloaded. Adjustable Gain Amplifier The MAX5436/MAX5438 are used with the MAX427 to make a digitally adjustable gain circuit as shown in Figure 4. The normal feedback resistor is replaced with the MAX5436/MAX5438 in a variable-resistor configuration so that the gain of the circuit can be digitally controlled. The MAX5437/MAX5439 can use the internal high-voltage amplifier to make this digitally adjustable gain circuit. LCD Biasing Control Applications The MAX5436–MAX5439 are ideal for LCDs that require separate voltage for contrast control in addition to the main supply voltage. Figure 5a shows the MAX5436– MAX5439 being used for LCD contrast control along with the MAX629, which provides the LCD supply voltage. A similar circuit with an additional buffer circuit is shown in Figure 5b. Applications Information Power-Up Sequencing The MAX5436–MAX5439 have been designed so that any of the supplies can turn on first without causing any unwanted crowbar currents to flow. Note that both digital and analog supplies are required to power up the wiper and uncommitted amplifier (MAX5437/MAX5439 only). _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 MAX5436–MAX5439 Pin Description MAX5436–MAX5439 ±15V, 128-Tap, Low-Drift Digital Potentiometers DATA WORD D7 D6 D5 Don’t Care (MSB) D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 (LSB) First Bit Loaded Last Bit Loaded Figure 1.
