MAX5467EUT+T

Overview

The MAX5467EUT+T is a single-channel, linear-taper digital potentiometer featuring 32 tap positions. It operates as a variable resistor with an end-to-end resistance of 10kΩ and a temperature coefficient of 35ppm/°C. The device utilizes a 2-wire serial interface for wiper control and supports a supply voltage range of +2.7V to +5.5V. Active supply current is typically 25µA, while standby current drops to 1µA at 5V. It includes power-on reset functionality that sets the wiper to midscale upon initialization.

Feature Summary

• Configured as a variable resistor with 10kΩ nominal resistance
• 32-tap resolution controlled via 2-wire serial interface
• Ultra-low active (25µA) and standby (1µA) supply currents
• Power-on reset defaults wiper position to midscale

Applications

• LCD screen contrast adjustment
• Volume control circuits
• Mechanical potentiometer replacement
• Gain adjustment in amplifier stages

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices or Maxim Integrated distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status (+ suffix indicates lead-free). Ensure ESD protection protocols are followed during handling due to the miniature SOT-23 package. Validate datasheet revision against manufacturing date codes.

Selection Notes

Select this model specifically for variable resistor applications requiring 10kΩ resistance. For potentiometer configurations, consider the MAX5468 instead. Verify that the 32-tap resolution meets system requirements, as higher precision models exist within the family. Ensure the operating voltage remains within the 2.7V to 5.5V range.

Part Context

Part of the MAX5460–MAX5468 FleaPoT family of 32-tap digital potentiometers. This specific variant provides the 10kΩ resistance value in a space-saving 6-pin SOT-23 package. It shares the same interface and electrical characteristics as other members of the series but differs in terminal configuration and resistance value.

Replacement Considerations

The MAX5466EUK+T offers identical electrical performance but uses a 5-pin SOT-23 package. The MAX5468EUT+T provides the same package and resistance but functions as a potentiometer rather than a variable resistor.
