MAX5407EKA+T
32-Tap Audio Logarithmic Taper Digital Potentiometer
General DescriptionThe MAX5407 SOT-PoT™ is a logarithmic taper digital
potentiometer with 32 tap points that has 1dB steps
between taps. This device is ideal for audio applica-
tions, such as volume control and fading/balancing
audio signals.
The MAX5407 consists of a resistor string and CMOS
switches that are digitally controlled through a simple 2-
wire serial interface. This device performs the same
function as a mechanical potentiometer. The device
has a fixed end-to-end resistance of 20kΩand features
zero-crossing detection to minimize the audible noise
generated by the wiper transitions.
This device has nominal resistor temperature coefficients
of 35ppm/°C end-to-end and 5ppm/°C ratiometric. The
MAX5407 is available in a space saving 8-pin SOT23
package and is guaranteed from -40°C to +85°C.

Detailed Description
Digital Interface OperationThe MAX5407 has two modes of operation when the seri-
al interface is active: increment and decrement mode.
The serial interface is only active when CS is high.
The CSand U/Dinputs control the position of the wiper
along the resistor array. When CStransitions from low
to high, the part will go into increment mode if U/Dis
high and into decrement mode if U/Dis low. Once the
mode is set, the device will remain in that mode until CS
goes low again. A low-to-high transition at the U/Dpin
will increment or decrement the wiper position depend-
ing on the mode (Figures 1 and 2).
When the CSinput transitions to low (serial interface
inactive), the value of the counter is stored and the
wiper position is maintained.

Power-On ResetThe power-on reset feature sets the wiper to the maxi-
mum attenuation (tap position 31, -31dB) at power-up.
If CSis initially high, the MAX5407 is in the increment
mode by default.
Zero-Crossing DetectionWhen the ZCENinput is low, the zero-crossing detect
feature is enabled. This feature reduces the audible
noise (“clicks and pops”) that result from wiper transi-
tions. When zero-crossing detection is enabled, the
wiper changes position only when the voltage at L is
the same as the voltage at H. If no zero crossing is
detected after 50ms, the device will timeout and
change the wiper position.
Digital Logic InputsThe MAX5407 can interface to +3V logic as well as +5V
logic, while using a +3V to +5V power supply. In order
to minimize the supply current, set all digital inputs low
while the part is inactive.
Applications InformationThe MAX5407 is intended for circuits requiring digitally
controlled adjustable voltage or adjustable gain, such
as applications involving volume control.
Volume ControlThe zero-crossing feature of the MAX5407 makes it
ideal for applications involving volume control. Figure 3
shows a typical application circuit, where the MAX5407
is followed by an op amp for output buffering and gain.
VCMrepresents the common voltage around which the
audio signal swings.
Signal AttenuatorFigure 4 shows a typical signal attenuator. Use an op
amp to provide buffering and gain to the output of the
MAX5407. Connect the MAX5407 to the positive input
of a noninverting op amp to select the level of attenua-
tion of the input signal, by digitally controlling the wiper
terminal.
Adjustable GainFigure 5 shows how to use the MAX5407 to digitally
adjust the gain of a noninverting op amp configuration.
The MAX5407 has a low 5ppm/°C ratiometric tempco
that allows for a very stable adjustable gain configura-
tion over temperature.
