MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX5161NEZTT Digital Potentiometer

The MAX5161NEZT+T is a low-power, digital potentiometer in a 6-pin SOT-23 package. It functions as a digitally controlled variable resistor with a linear taper, similar to a mechanical potentiometer. The device features a fixed resistor with 32 digitally selectable tap points controlled via a two-line serial interface. It offers a resistance of 200 kΩ, a wiper resistance of 400 Ω, and supports supply voltages from 2.7V to 5.5V. Its operating temperature range is from -40°C to 85°C. The IC has a low resistance temperature coefficient of 50 ppm/°C, with end-to-end and ratiometric coefficients of 5 ppm/°C, making it suitable for applications requiring stable, low-temperature-coefficient variable resistors. Typical uses include LCD screen adjustment, volume control, and replacing mechanical potentiometers. Features include glitchless switching, power-on reset with wiper at midscale, high accuracy with ±1LSB DNL and ±0.5LSB INL, and 2 kV ESD protection.
