MAX5461EXT+

Overview

The MAX5461EXT+ is a digital potentiometer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features a resistance value of 100 kOhm and utilizes a 32-tap configuration for precise adjustment. The component is housed in an SC70-6 package, designed for surface-mount applications. This device integrates non-volatile memory to retain the wiper setting upon power loss, ensuring data integrity without external backup circuits.

Feature Summary

• Digital potentiometer with 100 kOhm total resistance
• 32 discrete tap positions for resolution
• Non-volatile memory retains wiper position after power cycle
• SC70-6 surface-mount package

Applications

• Programmable gain amplifiers
• Voltage reference adjustment
• Audio volume control

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number against official Analog Devices or Maxim Integrated documentation to confirm specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint for the SC70-6 package. Cross-reference technical parameters such as resistance tolerance and operating temperature range with the specific project requirements before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, non-volatile digital potentiometer is required. The 100 kOhm resistance and 32-tap resolution suit applications needing moderate precision in small form factors. Confirm that the supply voltage and interface requirements align with the system design constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX5461 family of digital potentiometers from Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. The family offers various resistance values and package options. The EXT suffix typically denotes the specific temperature grade and packaging variant within the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists for verified substitutes. Ensure any replacement maintains the same resistance value, tap count, package type, and non-volatile functionality.
