The MAX5477EUD+ is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed by Maxim Integrated. It is a digital potentiometer with 256-tap and an increment or decrement control interface.
This IC has several notable features that make it suitable for various applications. Firstly, it operates with a single power supply voltage, ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V, which allows versatility in different electronic systems.
The MAX5477EUD+ offers a 256-tap resistor array, which allows users to adjust the resistance value precisely. This feature is particularly useful in applications where fine-tuning of circuits is required, such as audio equipment, instrumentation, and analog signal processing.
Furthermore, it includes a debounced push-button interface that enables easy control of the device. The IC is designed with non-volatile memory, allowing it to retain the wiper position even after power-off or during power interruptions.
The IC offers a wide temperature range for operation, from -40°C to +125°C. This makes it suitable for use in harsh environmental conditions without sacrificing performance and reliability.
To simplify system integration, the MAX5477EUD+ is available in a compact 14-pin TSSOP package, which facilitates PCB layout and saves board space
