Dual, 256-Tap, Nonvolatile, SPI-Interface,
Linear-Taper Digital Potentiometers
Features
The MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489 dual, linear-taper,
digital potentiometers function as mechanical potentiometers with a simple 3-wire SPI™-compatible digital
interface that programs the wipers to any one of 256
tap positions. These digital potentiometers feature a
nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) to return the wipers to
their previously stored positions upon power-up.
o Wiper Position Stored in Nonvolatile Memory
(EEPROM) and Recalled Upon Power-Up or
Recalled by an Interface Command
The MAX5487 has an end-to-end resistance of 10kΩ,
while the MAX5488 and MAX5489 have resistances of
50kΩ and 100kΩ, respectively. These devices have a
low 35ppm/°C end-to-end temperature coefficient, and
operate from a single +2.7V to +5.25V supply.
The MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489 are available in
16-pin 3mm x 3mm x 0.8mm TQFN or 14-pin TSSOP
packages. Each device is guaranteed over the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Note 1: All devices are production tested at TA = +85°C and are guaranteed by design and characterization for -40°C < TA < +85°C.
Note 2: DNL and INL are measured with the potentiometer configured as a voltage-divider with H_ = VDD and L_ = 0. The wiper terminal
is unloaded and measured with an ideal voltmeter.
Note 3: DNL and INL are measured with the potentiometer configured as a variable resistor. H_ is unconnected and L_ = 0. For VDD =
+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. For VDD = +3V, the wiper terminal is driven with a source current of 200µA for the 10kΩ
configuration, 40µA for the 50kΩ configuration, and 20µA for the 100kΩ configuration.
Note 4: The wiper resistance is the worst value measured by injecting the currents given in Note 3 into W_ with L_ = GND. RW =
(VW - VH) / IW.
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 Supply Current vs. Digital Input Voltage in the Typical Operating Characteristics section.
Note 6: Wiper at midscale with a 10pF load.
Note 7: 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 unloaded and measured with a 10pF oscilloscope probe (see Tap-to-Tap Switching Transient in the
Typical Operating Characteristics section).
Note 8: Digital timing is guaranteed by design and characterization, and is not production tested.

Detailed Description
The MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489 contain two resistor
arrays, with 255 resistive elements each. The MAX5487
has an end-to-end resistance of 10kΩ, while the
MAX5488 and MAX5489 have resistances of 50kΩ and
100kΩ, respectively. The MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489
allow access to the high, low, and wiper terminals on
both potentiometers for a standard voltage-divider configuration. Connect the wiper to the high terminal, and
connect the low terminal to ground, to make the device
a variable resistor (see Figure 1).
A simple 3-wire serial interface programs either wiper
directly to any of the 256 tap points. The nonvolatile
memory stores the wiper position prior to power-down
and recalls the wiper to the same point upon power-up
or by using an interface command (see Table 1). The
nonvolatile memory is guaranteed for 200,000 wiper
store cycles and 50 years for wiper data retention.
SPI Digital Interface
The MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489 use a 3-wire SPIcompatible serial data interface (Figures 2 and 3). This
write-only interface contains three inputs: chip-select
8
(CS), data clock (SCLK), and data in (DIN). 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 16
clock cycles to clock in the command, address, and data
(Figure 3a). The COPY commands (C1, C0 = 10, 11) can
use either eight clock cycles to transfer only command
and address bits (Figure 3b) or 16 clock cycles, with the
device disregarding 8 data bits (Figure 3a).
After loading data into the shift register, drive CS high
to latch the data into the appropriate potentiometer
control register and disable the serial interface. Keep
CS low during the entire serial data stream to avoid corruption of the data.
Digital-Interface Format
The data format consists of three elements: command
bits, address bits, and data bits (see Table 1 and
Figure 3). The command bits (C1 and C0) indicate the
action to be taken such as changing or storing the
wiper position. The address bits (A1 and A0) specify
which potentiometer the command affects and the 8
data bits (D7 to D0) specify the wiper position.

Write-Wiper Register (Command 00)
Data written to the write-wiper registers (C1, C0 = 00)
controls the wiper positions. The 8 data bits (D7 to D0)
indicate the position of the wiper. For example, if DIN =
0000 0000, the wiper moves to the position closest to
L_. If DIN = 1111 1111, the wiper moves closest to H_.
This command writes data to the volatile RAM, leaving the
NV registers unchanged. When the device powers up,
the data stored in the NV registers transfers to the volatile
wiper register, moving the wiper to the stored position.
Write-NV Register (Command 01)
This command (C1, C0 = 01) stores the position of the
wipers to the NV registers for use at power-up.
Alternatively, the “copy wiper register to NV register”
command can be used to store the position of the
wipers to the NV registers. Writing to the NV registers
does not affect the position of the wipers.
Copy Wiper Register to NV Register (Command 10)
This command (C1, C0 = 10) stores the current position
of the wiper to the NV register, for use at power-up.
This command may affect one potentiometer at a time,

or both simultaneously, depending on the state of A1
and A0. Alternatively, the “write NV register” command
can be used to store the current position of the wiper to
the NV register.
Copy NV Register to Wiper Register (Command 11)
This command (C1, C0 = 11) restores the wiper position
to the previously stored position in the NV register. This
command may affect one potentiometer at a time, or both
simultaneously, depending on the state of A1 and A0.
Nonvolatile Memory
The internal EEPROM consists of a nonvolatile register
that retains the last stored value prior to power-down.
The nonvolatile register is programmed to midscale at
the factory. The nonvolatile memory is guaranteed for
200,000 wiper write cycles and 50 years for wiper data
retention.
Power-Up
Upon power-up, the MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489
load the data stored in the nonvolatile wiper register
into the volatile memory register, updating the wiper
position with the data stored in the nonvolatile wiper
register. This initialization period takes 5µs.
10
Standby
The MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489 feature a low-power
standby mode. When the device is not being programmed, it enters into standby mode and supply current drops to 0.5µA (typ).
Applications Information
The MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489 are ideal for circuits
requiring digitally controlled adjustable resistance,
such as LCD contrast control (where voltage biasing
adjusts the display contrast), or for programmable filters with adjustable gain and/or cutoff frequency.
Positive LCD Bias Control
Figures 4 and 5 show an application where the
MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489 provide an adjustable,
positive LCD-bias voltage. The op amp provides buffering and gain to the resistor-divider network made by
the potentiometer (Figure 4) or by a fixed resistor and a
variable resistor (Figure 5).
Programmable Filter
Figure 6 shows the MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489 in a
1st-order programmable-filter application. Adjust the gain
of the filter with R2, and set the cutoff frequency with R3.

Offset Voltage and Gain Adjustment
Connect the high and low terminals of one potentiometer of a MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489 to the NULL
inputs of a MAX410, and connect the wiper to the op
amp’s positive supply to nullify the offset voltage over
the operating temperature range. Install the other
potentiometer in the feedback path to adjust the gain of
the MAX410 (see Figure 8).
