The MAX5160LEUA+ is a low-power digital potentiometer featuring 32 tap positions and a nominal resistance of 50kΩ. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from +2.7V to +5.5V with a typical supply current of 10µA. The device utilizes a 3-wire serial interface (CS, INC, U/D) for wiper control and offers ±25% end-to-end resistance tolerance with a 400Ω wiper resistance. Packaged in an 8-pin µMAX format, it supports extended industrial temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.
Verify the component against official Maxim Integrated datasheets to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required resistance value and package type. Cross-reference with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability before procurement.
Select the MAX5160LEUA+ when a 50kΩ digital potentiometer is required in an 8-pin µMAX package. Consider the MAX5160MEUA+ or MAX5160NEUA+ if different resistance values (100kΩ or 200kΩ) are needed. Verify that the 3-wire serial interface aligns with the system's microcontroller capabilities.
The MAX5160LEUA+ belongs to the MAX5160/MAX5161 family of low-power digital potentiometers. This series provides a direct replacement for mechanical potentiometers in applications requiring digitally controlled variable resistance. The LEUA variant specifically denotes the 50kΩ resistance option within the 8-pin µMAX package lineup.
Direct replacements include other variants within the MAX5160 family, such as the MAX5160MEUA+ (100kΩ) or MAX5160NEUA+ (200kΩ), provided the resistance value meets the circuit requirements. Ensure the replacement maintains the same 8-pin µMAX footprint and 3-wire serial interface compatibility.
The Power-On Reset circuitry automatically sets the wiper position to midscale (position 16) when power is applied, ensuring a known initial state.
The device features glitchless switching, which prevents transient spikes or glitches when moving the wiper between different resistor tap positions.
The MAX5160LEUA+ has 32 tap positions, providing a resolution of approximately 3% per step across the full resistance range.
