The MAX5494–MAX5499 operate with either a single
power supply (+2.7V to +5.25V) or dual power supplies
(±2.5V). The devices consume 400µA (max) of supply
current when writing data to the nonvolatile memory
and 1.5µA (max) of standby supply current. The
devices are available in space-saving (5mm x 5mm x
0.8mm), 16-pin TQFN package and are specified over
the extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.
♦ 16-Pin, 5mm x 5mm x 0.8mm TQFN Package
INTERFACE
The MAX5494–MAX5499 are ideal for applications requiring digitally controlled potentiometers. End-to-end resistance values of 10kΩ and 50kΩ are available with a
35ppm/°C end-to-end temperature coefficient. The ratiometric temperature coefficient is 5ppm/°C for each channel, making these devices ideal for applications requiring
low-temperature-coefficient programmable voltagedividers such as low-drift, programmable-gain amplifiers.
♦ Wiper Position Stored in Nonvolatile Memory and
Recalled Upon Power-Up
CS
The MAX5494–MAX5499 10-bit (1024-tap), dual, nonvolatile, linear-taper, programmable voltage-dividers
and variable resistors perform the function of a
mechanical potentiometer, but replace the mechanics
with a 3-wire SPI™-compatible serial interface. The
MAX5494/MAX5495 are dual, 3-terminal, programmable voltage-dividers; the MAX5496/MAX5497 are dual,
2-terminal variable resistors; and the MAX5498/
MAX5499 include one 2-terminal variable resistor and
one 3-terminal programmable voltage-divider.
The MAX5494–MAX5499 feature an internal, nonvolatile,
electrically erasable programmable read-only memory
(EEPROM) that stores the wiper position for initialization
during power-up. The 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface allows communication at data rates up to 7MHz.

Note 1: 100% production tested at TA = +25°C and TA = +85°C. Guaranteed by design to TA = -40°C.
Note 2: The DNL and INL are measured for the voltage-divider with H_ = VDD and L_ = VSS. The wiper terminal (W_) is unloaded
and measured with a high-input-impedance voltmeter.
Note 3: The DNL and INL are measured with L_ = VSS = 0. For VDD = 5V, the wiper terminal is driven with a current source of IW =
80µA for the 50kΩ device and IW = 400µA for the 10kΩ device. For VDD = 3V, the wiper terminal is driven with a current
source of IW = 40µA for the 50kΩ device and IW = 200µA for the 10kΩ device.
Note 4: The wiper resistance is measured using the source currents given in Note 3.
Note 5: The device draws higher supply current when the digital inputs are driven with voltages between (VDD - 0.5V) and (GND +
0.5V). See the Supply Current vs. Digital Input Voltage graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics.
Note 6: Wiper settling test condition uses the voltage-divider with a 10pF load on W_. Transition code from 0 to 495 and measure
the time from CS going high to the wiper voltage settling to within 0.5% of its final value.

Functional Diagrams (continued)
Detailed Description
The MAX5494–MAX5499 dual, nonvolatile, linear-taper,
programmable voltage-dividers and variable resistors
feature 1024 tap points (10-bit resolution) (see the
Functional Diagrams). These devices consist of multiple strings of equal resistor segments with a wiper contact that moves among the 1024 effective tap points by
a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface. The
MAX5494/MAX5496/MAX5498 provide a total 10kΩ
end-to-end resistance, and the MAX5495/MAX5497/
MAX5499 feature a 50kΩ end-to-end resistance. The
MAX5494/MAX5495/MAX5498/MAX5499 allow access
to the high, low, and wiper terminals for a standard voltage-divider configuration. Ensure that the terminal voltages fall between VSS and VDD.
MAX5494/MAX5495/MAX5498/MAX5499
Programmable Voltage-Dividers
The MAX5494/MAX5495/MAX5498/MAX5499 programmable voltage-dividers provide a weighted average of
the voltage between the H_ and L_ inputs at the W_
output.
The MAX5494/MAX5495/MAX5498/MAX5499 programmable voltage-divider network provides up to 1024
division ratios between the H_ and L_ voltage. Ideally,
the VL voltage occurs at the wiper terminal when all
data bits are zeros and the VH voltage occurs at the
wiper terminal when all data bits are one (see the wiper
voltage equation). The step-size voltage (1 LSB) is
equal to the voltage applied across terminals H and L
divided by 210. Calculate the wiper voltage VW as follows:
where D is the decimal equivalent of the 10 data bits
written (0 to 1023), VHL is the voltage difference between
the H_ and L_ terminals, and:
V 
VFSE = FSE HL 
 1024 
V 
VZSE = ZSE HL 
 1024 
The MAX5494/MAX5498 provide a 10kΩ end-to-end
resistance value, while the MAX5495/MAX5499 feature a
50kΩ end-to-end resistance value. Note that the programmable voltage-divider is not intended to be used
as a variable resistor. Wiper current creates a nonlinear
voltage drop in series with the wiper. To ensure temperature drift remains within specifications, do not pull current
through the voltage-divider wiper. Connect the wiper to a
high-impedance node. Figures 4 and 5 show the behavior of the programmable voltage-divider resistance from
W_ to H_ and W_ to L_, respectively. This does not apply
to the variable-resistor devices.
MAX5496–MAX5499 Variable Resistors
The MAX5496–MAX5499 provide a programmable resistance from W_ to L_. The MAX5496/MAX5498 provide a
10kΩ end-to-end resistance value, while the
MAX5497/MAX5499 feature a 50kΩ end-to-end resistance value. The programmable resolution of this

codes.
either eight clock cycles to transfer the command bits
(Figure 7b) or 24 clock cycles with 16 bits disregarded
by the device (Figure 7a).
After the loading of data into the shift register, drive CS
high to latch the data into the appropriate control register (specified by RA1 and RA0) and disable the serial
interface. Keep CS low during the entire serial data
stream to avoid corruption of the data. Table 2 shows
the register map.
Write Wiper Register
The “write wiper register” command (C1, C0 = 00) controls the wiper positions. The 10 data bits (D9–D0) indicate the position of the wiper. For example, if DIN =
000000 0000, the wiper moves to the position closest to
L_. If DIN = 11 1111 1111, the wiper moves closest to H_.
Table 1. RWL at Selected Codes
SPI-Compatible Serial Interface
The MAX5494–MAX5499 use a 3-wire, SPI-compatible,
serial data interface (Figure 6). This write-only interface
contains three inputs: chip-select (CS), data input
(DIN), and data clock (SCLK). Drive CS low to enable
the serial interface and clock data synchronously into
the shift register on each SCLK rising edge.
The WRITE commands (C1, C0 = 00 or 01) require 24
clock cycles to transfer the command and data (Figure
7a). The COPY commands (C1, C0 = 10 or 11) use

resistance is equal to the nominal end-to-end resistance divided by 1024 (10-bit resolution). For example,
the programmable resolution is 9.8Ω and 48.8Ω for the
MAX5496/MAX5498 and the MAX5497/MAX5499,
respectively.
The 10-bit data in the 10-bit latch register selects the
wiper position from the 1024 possible positions, resulting in 1024 values for the resistance from W_ to L_.
Calculate the resistance from W_ to L_ (RWL) from the
formula below:

Write NV Register
The “write NV register” command (C1, C0 = 01) stores
the position of the wiper to the NV registers for use at
power-up. Alternatively, the “copy wiper register to NV
register” command writes to the NV register. Writing to
the NV register does not affect the position of the
wipers. The operation takes up to 12ms (max) after CS
goes high to complete and no other operation should
be performed until completion. Figure 9 shows how to
write data to the NV register 1.
Copy Wiper Register to NV Register
The “copy wiper register to NV register” command (C1,
C0 = 10) stores the current position of the wiper to the
NV register for use at power-up. Figure 10 shows how
to copy data from wiper register 1 to NV register 1.

MAX5494–MAX5499
The “write wiper register” command writes data to the
volatile random access memory (RAM), leaving the NV
registers unchanged. When the device powers up, the
data stored in the NV registers transfers to the wiper
register, moving the wiper to the stored position. Figure
8 shows how to write data to wiper register 1.

Copy NV Register to Wiper Register
The “copy NV register to wiper register” (C1, C0 = 11)
restores the wiper position to the current value stored in
the NV register. Figure 11 shows how to copy data from
NV register 1 to wiper register 1.
Standby Mode
The MAX5494–MAX5499 feature a low-power standby
mode. When the device is not being programmed, it
enters into standby mode and supply current drops to
0.6µA (typ).
Nonvolatile Memory
The internal EEPROM consists of a nonvolatile register
that retains the last value stored prior to power-down.
The nonvolatile register is programmed to midscale at
CS
Power-Up
Upon power-up, the MAX5494–MAX5499 load the data
stored in the nonvolatile wiper register into the wiper
register, updating the wiper position with the data
stored in the nonvolatile wiper register.
Applications Information
The MAX5494–MAX5499 are intended for circuits
requiring digitally controlled adjustable resistance,
such as LCD contrast control (where voltage biasing
adjusts the display contrast), or programmable filters
with adjustable gain and/or cutoff frequency.
