MAXIM MAX5456EEE

19-3490; Rev 0; 11/04
Stereo Audio Taper Potentiometers
with Pushbutton Interface
The MAX5456/MAX5457 dual, logarithmic taper digital
potentiometers feature a simple pushbutton interface
that controls volume and balance in audio applications.
Each potentiometer has 32 tap points and replaces
mechanical potentiometers. Refer to the MAX5408–
MAX5411 data sheet for SPI™ versions of the MAX5456/
MAX5457.
Use the MAX5456/MAX5457 digital inputs with momentary contact single-pole/single-throw (SPST) pushbutton
switches. Each input includes internal debounce circuitry and a 50kΩ pullup resistor.
The MAX5456/MAX5457 advance the wiper setting once
per button push. Maxim’s proprietary SmartWiper™ control eliminates the need for a microcomputer to increase
the wiper transition rate. Holding the control input low for
more than 1s advances the wiper at a rate of 4Hz for 4s
and 16Hz per second thereafter.
The MAX5456/MAX5457 provide temperature coefficients of 50ppm/°C end-to-end and 5ppm/°C ratiometric and a nominal resistance of 10kΩ per potentiometer.
An integrated click/pop suppression feature minimizes
the audible noise generated by wiper transitions. The
typical total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) for
these devices is 0.01%.
The MAX5457 features a 3-button interface with a
MODE input that toggles between volume- and balancecontrol modes. An LED output indicates volume or balance mode. The MAX5456 features a 4-button interface
with separate inputs for up and down volume controls
and left and right balance controls.
The MAX5456/MAX5457 are available in 16-pin QSOP
and 16-pin TQFN packages and are specified over the
extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.

Stereo Audio Taper Potentiometers
with Pushbutton Interface
The MAX5456/MAX5457 dual, logarithmic taper digital
potentiometers feature a simple pushbutton interface that
controls volume and balance in audio applications. Each
potentiometer has 32 tap points and replaces mechanical
potentiometers (see the Functional Diagrams).
Up and Down Interface
The MAX5456/MAX5457 interface with momentary contact SPST switches. All switch inputs are internally
debounced and pulled up to V LOGIC through 50kΩ
resistors. The wiper setting advances once per button
press up to 1s. Maxim’s SmartWiper control circuitry
allows the wiper to advance at a rate of 4Hz when an
input is held low from 1s up to 4s, and at a rate of 16Hz
if the contact is maintained for greater than 4s (see
Table 2). The SmartWiper control eliminates the need for
a microcomputer to increase the wiper transition rate.
The MAX5456 features independent control inputs for
volume and balance control while the MAX5457 MODE
input toggles between volume and balance control.
Each transition of MODE from high to low toggles the
MAX5457 between volume-control and balance-control
modes. MODE is internally pulled high with a 50kΩ
resistor to VLOGIC.

Volume Control
In volume-control mode, the MAX5456/MAX5457s’
wipers move simultaneously, maintaining the balance
separation between each wiper (Figure 3a).
When either wiper reaches the maximum tap position
(position closest to H_), further commands to increase
the volume are ignored. Balance separation is maintained in the maximum volume configuration (Figure 3b).
When either wiper reaches the minimum tap position
(position closest to L_), further commands to decrease
the volume adjust the other wiper until it also reaches
the minimum tap position (Figure 3c).
Increasing the volume from this minimum position
restores the original balance separation of the wipers
(Figure 3d).
When both wipers are in the 31st tap position (-62dB
attenuation), further commands to VOLDN place the
wipers in the mute position (see Table 1). VOLUP or
MUTE pulses return wipers to position 31.

Balance Control
In balance-control mode, the MAX5456/MAX5457
adjust the balance between channel 0 and channel 1
while maintaining the set volume. For example, if the
volume of channel 0 equals the volume of channel 1,
forcing the balance towards channel 1 increases the
attenuation of channel 0 (Figure 4a). If channel 1 is at a
higher attenuation than channel 0, adjusting the balance to channel 1 moves channel 1’s wiper up to the
same wiper position as channel 0 before attenuating
channel 0 (Figure 4b).
To control the wiper quickly with a logic signal, maintain pulses at least 22.5ms wide and separated by at
least 40ms.

MAX5456/MAX5457
Stereo Audio Taper Potentiometers
with Pushbutton Interface
Click/Pop Suppression
The click/pop suppression feature reduces the audible
noise (clicks and pops) that result from wiper transitions.
The MAX5456/MAX5457 minimize this noise by allowing
the wiper position changes only when VH_ = VL_. Thus,
the wiper changes position only when the voltage at L_ is
the same as the voltage at the corresponding H_. Each
wiper has its own suppression and timeout circuitry (see
Figure 5a). The MAX5456/MAX5457 change wiper position after 32ms or when VH_ = VL, whichever occurs first
(see Figure 5b).
The suppression circuitry monitors left and right channels separately. In volume-control mode, when the first
wiper changes position, the second wiper has 32ms to
change or it will be forced to change.
Power-On Reset
The power-on comparators monitor V DD - V SS and
VLOGIC - GND. A power-on reset is initiated when either
of the supplies is brought back to normal operating
voltage. The power-on-reset feature sets both wipers to
-12dB. Power-on reset places the MAX5457 in volumecontrol mode.

function forces both wipers to maximum attenuation (90dB typ). Deactivating the mute function returns the
wipers to their previous settings. Pressing VOLUP also
deactivates mute, setting the wipers to their previous
positions. MUTE is internally pulled high with a 50kΩ
resistor to VLOGIC. When both wipers are in the 31st
tap position (-62dB attenuation), further commands to
VOLDN place the wipers in the mute position (see
Table 1). VOLUP or MUTE pulses return the wipers to
position 31.
The MAX5456/MAX5457 feature a mute function. Successive pulses on MUTE toggle its setting. Activating the mute

MAX5456/MAX5457
Shutdown, SHDN
Upon entering shutdown mode, the MAX5456/MAX5457
store the last wiper settings. The wipers move to the L_
end of the resistor string, and the H_ end of the resistor
string disconnects from the signal input. Terminating
shutdown mode restores the wipers to their previous
settings (see Figure 2). Shutdown does not affect the
state of MODE_IND.
MAX5456/MAX5457
Stereo Audio Taper Potentiometers
with Pushbutton Interface
Mode Control, MODE
Multiple Button Pushes
The MAX5457 MODE input toggles between volumeand balance-control modes. Force MODE low to toggle
between volume-control and balance-control modes.
For example, driving MODE low once while in volumecontrol mode, switches the MAX5457 to balance-control mode. Driving mode low once again, switches the
MAX5457 back to volume-control mode. MODE is internally pulled high with a 50kΩ resistor to VLOGIC. The
MAX5457 powers up in volume-control mode.
The MAX5456/MAX5457 do not respond to simultaneous button pushes. Pushing more than one button at the
same time stops the wipers in their present states. Only
a single button push configures the device. Additionally,
a 40ms blocking period affects all other inputs when
releasing any input forced low. The MAX5456/MAX5457
do not respond to any logic input until the blocking period ends. If multiple wiper-control buttons are pressed,
all wiper-control connections must be released before
the part will respond to further commands.
Mode Indicator, MODE_IND
MODE_IND is the volume-control and balance-control
mode indicator with an open-drain output. Connect
MODE_IND to an LED through a pullup resistor to
VLOGIC. When the LED is on, the MAX5457 is in balancecontrol mode. When the LED is off, the MAX5457 is in
volume-control mode. See the Mode Control, MODE section for more detail on switching between modes.
Shutdown does not affect the state of MODE_IND.

Applications Information
Stereo Volume/Balance Control
Figure 6 shows a volume/balance application using the
MAX5457. The op amp is connected in a follower (noninverting gain) configuration to isolate the potentiometer’s wiper impedance from the load and provide drive
capability. Connect the W_ of the MAX5457 to the positive input of a noninverting gain amp. The pushbutton
potentiometers attenuate the input signals. Use the
MODE input to switch between volume-control and balance-control modes.
