Dual, 256-Tap, Nonvolatile, I2C-Interface, Digital Potentiometers
General Description
The MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479 nonvolatile, dual, linear-taper, digital potentiometers perform the function of a mechanical potentiometer, but replace the mechanics with a simple 2-wire digital interface. Each device performs the same function as a discrete potentiometer or variable resistor and has 256 tap points. The devices feature an internal, nonvolatile EEPROM used to store the wiper position for initialization during power-up. A write-protect feature prevents accidental overwrites of the EEPROM. The fast-mode I2C-compatible serial interface allows communication at data rates up to 400kbps, minimizing board space and reducing interconnection complexity in many applications. Three address inputs allow a total of eight unique address combinations. The MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479 provide three nominal resistance values: 10k (MAX5477), 50k (MAX5478), or 100k (MAX5479). The nominal resistor temperature coefficient is 35ppm/C end-to-end and 5ppm/C ratiometric. The low temperature coefficient makes the devices ideal for applications requiring a lowtemperature-coefficient variable resistor, such as lowdrift, programmable gain-amplifier circuit configurations. The MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479 are available in 16pin 3mm x 3mm x 0.8mm thin QFN and 14-pin 4.4mm x 5mm TSSOP packages. These devices operate over the extended -40C to +85C temperature range.

Note 1: All devices are production tested at TA = +25C and are guaranteed by design and characterization for -40C < TA < +85C. Note 2: The DNL and INL are measured with the potentiometer configured as a voltage-divider with H_ = VDD and L_ = GND. The wiper terminal is unloaded and measured with a high-input-impedance voltmeter. Note 3: The DNL and INL are measured with the potentiometer configured as a variable resistor. H_ is unconnected and L_ = GND. For VDD = +5V, the wiper is driven with 400A (MAX5477), 80A (MAX5478), or 40A (MAX5479). For VDD = +3V, the wiper is driven with 200A (MAX5477), 40A (MAX5478), or 20A (MAX5479). Note 4: The wiper resistance is measured using the source currents given in Note 3. Note 5: The devices draw current in excess of the specified supply current when the digital inputs are driven with voltages between (VDD - 0.5V) and (GND + 0.5V). See Supply Current vs. Digital Input Voltage in the Typical Operating Characteristics. Note 6: Wiper at midscale with a 10pF load (DC measurement). L_ = GND, an AC source is applied to H_, and the W_ output is measured. A 3dB bandwidth occurs when the AC W_/H_ value is 3dB lower than the DC W_/H_ value. Note 7: The programming current exists only during power-up and EEPROM writes. Note 8: The SCL clock period includes rise and fall times (tR = tF). All digital input signals are specified with tR = tF = 2ns and timed from a voltage level of (VIL + VIH) / 2. Note 9: Digital timing is guaranteed by design and characterization, and is not production tested. Note 10: This is measured from the STOP pulse to the time it takes the output to reach 50% of the output step size (divider mode). It is measured with a maximum external capacitive load of 10pF. Note 11: An appropriate bus pullup resistance must be selected depending on board capacitance. Refer to the I2C-bus specification document linked to this web address: www.semiconductors.philips.com/acrobat/literature/9398/39340011.pdf Note 12: The idle time begins from the initiation of the STOP pulse.

A simple 2-wire I2C-compatible serial interface moves the wiper among the 256 tap points (Figure 2). A nonvolatile memory stores the wiper position and recalls the stored wiper position upon power-up. The nonvolatile memory is guaranteed for 50 years for wiper data retention and up to 200,000 wiper store cycles.
Analog Circuitry
The MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479 consist of two resistor arrays with 255 resistive elements; 256 tap points are accessible to the wipers, along the resistor string between H_ and L_. The wiper tap point is selected by programming the potentiometer through the I2C interface. An address byte, a command byte, and 8 data bits program the wiper position for each potentiometer. The H_ and L_ terminals of the MAX5477/MAX5478/ MAX5479 are similar to the two end terminals of a mechanical potentiometer. The MAX5477/MAX5478/ MAX5479 feature power-on reset circuitry that loads the wiper position from the nonvolatile memory at power-up.
Digital Interface
The MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479 feature an internal, nonvolatile EEPROM that stores the wiper state for initialization during power-up. The shift register decodes the command and address bytes, routing the data to the proper memory registers. Data written to a volatile memory register immediately updates the wiper position, or writes data to a nonvolatile register for storage (see Table 2). The volatile register retains data as long as the device is powered. Removing power clears the volatile register. The nonvolatile register retains data even after power is removed. Upon power-up, the power-on reset circuitry controls the transfer of data from the nonvolatile register to the volatile register. A write-protect feature prevents accidental overwriting of the EEPROM. Connect WP to VDD or leave open to prevent any EEPROM write cycles. The wiper register only updates with the value in the EEPROM when WP =

interface, or if the master in a single-master system has an open-drain SCL output. SCL and SDA should not exceed VDD in a mixed-voltage system, despite the open-drain drivers. Each transmission consists of a START (S) condition (Figure 3) sent by a master, followed by the MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479 7-bit slave address plus the NOP/W bit (Figure 4), 1 command byte and 1 data byte, and finally a STOP (P) condition (Figure 3). Start and Stop Conditions Both SCL and SDA remain high when the interface is not busy. A master controller signals the beginning of a transmission with a START condition by transitioning SDA from high to low while SCL is high. The master controller issues a STOP condition by transitioning the SDA from low to high while SCL is high, when it finishes communicating with the slave. The bus is then free for another transmission (Figure 3). Bit Transfer One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain stable while SCL is high (Figure 5). Acknowledge The acknowledge bit is a clocked 9th bit that the recipient uses to handshake receipt of each byte of data (Figure 6). Thus, each byte transferred effectively requires 9 bits. The master controller generates the 9th clock pulse, and the recipient pulls down SDA during the acknowledge clock pulse, so the SDA line remains stable low during the high period of the clock pulse. Slave Address The MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479 have a 7-bit-long slave address (Figure 4). The 8th bit following the 7-bit
VDD. Connect WP to GND to allow write commands to the EEPROM and to update the wiper position from either the value in the EEPROM or directly from the I2C interface. Connecting WP to GND increases the supply current by 19.6A (max). Serial Addressing The MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479 operate as slave devices that send and receive data through an I2C-/ SMBusTM-compatible 2-wire serial interface. The interface uses a serial data access (SDA) line and a serial clock line (SCL) to achieve bidirectional communication between master(s) and slave(s). A master, typically a microcontroller, initiates all data transfers to the MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479, and generates the SCL clock that synchronizes the data transfer (Figure 1). The MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479 SDA line operates as both an input and an open-drain output. The SDA line requires a pullup resistor, typically 4.7k. The MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479 SCL line operates only as an input. The SCL line requires a pullup resistor (typically 4.7k) if there are multiple masters on the 2-wire

slave address is the NOP/W bit. Set the NOP/W bit low for a write command and high for a no-operation command. The MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479 provide three address inputs (A0, A1, and A2), allowing up to eight devices to share a common bus (Table 1). The first 4 bits (MSBs) of the MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479 slave addresses are always 0101. A2, A1, and A0 set the next 3 bits in the slave address. Connect each address input to VDD or GND to set these 3 bits. Each device must have a unique address to share a common bus.
NVREG: The data byte writes to the nonvolatile memory register. The wiper position is unchanged. NVREGxVREG: Data transfers from the nonvolatile memory register to the volatile memory register (wiper position updates). VREGxNVREG: Data transfers from the volatile memory register into the nonvolatile memory register.
Nonvolatile Memory
The internal EEPROM consists of a 16-bit nonvolatile register that retains the value written to it prior to power down. The nonvolatile register is programmed with the midscale value at the factory. The nonvolatile memory is guaranteed for 50 years for wiper position retention and up to 200,000 wiper write cycles. A write-protect feature prevents accidental overwriting of the EEPROM. Connect WP to VDD or leave open to enable the writeprotect feature. The wiper position only updates with the value in the EEPROM when WP = VDD. Connect WP to GND to allow EEPROM write cycles and to update the wiper position from nonvolatile memory or directly from the I2C serial interface.
Message Format for Writing
Write to the MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479 by transmitting the device's slave address with NOP/W (8th bit) set to zero, followed by at least 1 byte of information (Figure 7). The 1st byte of information is the command byte. The bytes received after the command byte are the data bytes. The 1st data byte goes into the internal register of the MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479 as selected by the command byte (Figure 8). Command Byte Use the command byte to select the source and destination of the wiper data (nonvolatile or volatile memory registers) and swap data between nonvolatile and volatile memory registers (see Table 2). Command Descriptions VREG: The data byte writes to the volatile memory register and the wiper position updates with the data in the volatile memory register.
Power-Up
Upon power-up, the MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479 load the data stored in the nonvolatile memory register into the volatile memory register, updating the wiper position with the data stored in the nonvolatile memory register. This initialization period takes 10s.
