Detailed Description
The MAX5128 nonvolatile, single, linear-taper, digital
potentiometer performs the function of a mechanical
potentiometer or variable resistor, but replaces the
mechanics with a simple 2-wire digital interface. This
device features 128 taps and 22k end-to-end resis-
tance with a 5ppm/C ratiometric temperature coeffi-
cient. The MAX5128 operates from a +2.7V to +5.25V
power supply and consumes only 0.5A (typ) of stand-
by supply current. The MAX5128 includes an integrat-
ed nonvolatile memory that recalls the stored wiper
position of the digital potentiometer. A simple 2-wire
up/down interface programs the wiper positions.
Analog Circuitry
The MAX5128 consists of a resistor array with 127
resistive elements; 128 tap points along the resistor
string between H and L are accessible to the wiper, W.
Select the wiper tap point by programming the poten-
tiometer through the 2-wire (UP, DN) interface.
The MAX5128 features power-on reset circuitry that
loads the wiper position from the nonvolatile memory at
power-up.
The nonvolatile memory is programmed to midscale at
the factory.

Digital Interface
The MAX5128 features a 2-wire interface consisting of
two logic inputs (UP and DN). Logic inputs UP and DN
control the wiper position and program the position to
the nonvolatile memory. Transition UP from high to low
with DN low to increment the wiper position. Transition
DN from high to low with UP low to decrement the wiper
position (see Figures 1, 2, and 3). When the wiper decre-
ments, it decreases the resistance between W and L
(and it increases the resistance between H and W).
To program the nonvolatile memory, force UP high,
then force DN high, and then transition either input
(UP/DN) from high to low (see Figure 3).
The wiper performs a make-before-break transition,
ensuring that an open circuit during a transition from
one resistor tap to another does not occur. The wiper
does not wrap around when it reaches either end of the
resistor array (max/min). Additional transition com-
mands in the direction of the end point do not change
the tap position.
The logic inputs also feature pulse glitch immunity
(20ns) to protect the wiper from transitioning due to
glitches (see Figure 4).
When using the MAX5128 with a momentary contact
switch, use the MAX6817 to debounce the logic inputs
(UP/DN) (see Figure 5).
Write NV Register
The internal EEPROM consists of a 7-bit nonvolatile
memory that retains the value written to it even after
power-down. To program the nonvolatile memory, force
UP high, then force DN high, and then transition either
input (UP/DN) from high to low. A nonvolatile write
requires a busy time of 14ms (max). During the busy
time, any nonvolatile write requests are ignored as well
as requests to increment or decrement the wiper posi-
tion. Upon power-up, the wiper returns to the position
stored in the nonvolatile register. The MAX5128 fea-
tures a factory-default wiper position of midscale.

Standby Mode
The MAX5128 operates in standby mode while the seri-
al interface is inactive. Programming the MAX5128
increases the average operating current to 400A
(max). When in standby mode, the static supply current
reduces to less than 0.5A (typ).
Power-Up
Upon power-up, the MAX5128 updates the wiper posi-
tion with the data stored in the nonvolatile memory. This
initialization period takes 2s (typ). For proper opera-
tion, limit the supply voltage slew rate to 10s.
Applications Information
Use the MAX5128 for applications requiring digitally
controlled adjustable resistance or voltage, such as
LCD contrast control (where voltage biasing adjusts the
display contrast), or DC-DC converters with adjustable
outputs. The 22k end-to-end resistance is divided into
128 tap points of 172 each. Use the MAX5128 in a
voltage-divider or variable-resistor configuration.
V
COM
Generator
Figure 6 shows an application using the MAX4238 and
the MAX5128 to generate the V
COM
voltage for a LCD
panel. Adjusting the resistor value of the MAX5128
changes the V
COM
voltage. Adjusting the V
COM
volt-
age changes the contrast for the LCD panel.
DC-DC Converter Applications
Figures 7 and 8 show two applications using the
MAX5128 to adjust the output voltage of a DC-DC con-
verter. Figure 7 shows the MAX5128 in the grounded
potenti ometer confi gurati on. Fi gure 8 shows the
MAX5128 in a floating potentiometer configuration. The
grounded potentiometer configuration forces the output
voltage range of the DC-DC converter to fall within the
supply voltage range of the MAX5128. Use the floating
potentiometer configuration to allow the DC-DC con-
verters output to exceed the supply voltage range of
the MAX5128. The floating potentiometer configuration
increases the output voltage range and increases the
precision of the output voltage adjustment range.
LED Bias Adjustment
Figure 9 shows a LED bias adjustment application
using a MAX5128 to set the current of the LEDs that the
MAX1574 drives. Use the MAX5128 for an adjustable
LED current drive of 10mA to 60mA.
