The MAX5436EUB+ is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is a 32-tap, nonvolatile digital potentiometer.
One of the key features of the MAX5436EUB+ is its ability to replace traditional mechanical potentiometers. It offers precision and reliability by eliminating the drawbacks associated with mechanical components such as wear and tear over time.
The device operates from a single-supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V and has a low power consumption, making it suitable for portable and battery-powered applications. It can be controlled through an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) interface, allowing for easy integration with microcontrollers and other digital systems.
The MAX5436EUB+ provides a resistance range from 10kΩ to 50kΩ. It has 32 tap points, offering fine granularity in adjusting the resistance value. The device also ensures accurate and linear resistance programming through its low resistive element temperature coefficient.
Another significant feature of this IC component is its nonvolatile memory, which enables it to retain its resistance setting even when the power is disconnected. This makes it suitable for applications where the resistance level needs to be saved and recalled, such as in audio systems, sensor calibration, and industrial control circuits
