Stereo Audio Taper Potentiometers with Pushbutton Interface
General DescriptionThe MAX5456/MAX5457 dual, logarithmic taper digital
potentiometers feature a simple pushbutton interface
that controls volume and balance in audio applications.
Each potentiometer has 32 tap points and replaces
mechanical potentiometers. Refer to the MAX5408–
MAX5411 data sheet for SPI versions of the MAX5456/
MAX5457.
Use the MAX5456/MAX5457 digital inputs with momen-
tary contact single-pole/single-throw (SPST) pushbutton
switches. Each input includes internal debounce cir-
cuitry and a 50kΩpullup resistor.
The MAX5456/MAX5457 advance the wiper setting once
per button push. Maxim’s proprietary SmartWiper™ con-
trol eliminates the need for a microcomputer to increase
the wiper transition rate. Holding the control input low for
more than 1s advances the wiper at a rate of 4Hz for 4s
and 16Hz per second thereafter.
The MAX5456/MAX5457 provide temperature coeffi-
cients of 50ppm/°C end-to-end and 5ppm/°C ratiomet-
ric and a nominal resistance of 10kΩper potentiometer.
An integrated click/pop suppression feature minimizes
the audible noise generated by wiper transitions. The
typical total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) for
these devices is 0.01%.
The MAX5457 features a 3-button interface with a
MODEinput that toggles between volume- and balance-
control modes. An LED output indicates volume or bal-
ance mode. The MAX5456 features a 4-button interface
with separate inputs for up and down volume controls
and left and right balance controls.
The MAX5456/MAX5457 is available in a 16-pin QSOP
packages and specified over the extended (-40°C to
+85°C) temperature range.

MAX5456/MAX5457
Detailed DescriptionThe MAX5456/MAX5457 dual, logarithmic taper digital
potentiometers feature a simple pushbutton interface that
controls volume and balance in audio applications. Each
potentiometer has 32 tap points and replaces mechanical
potentiometers (see the Functional Diagrams).
Up and Down InterfaceThe MAX5456/MAX5457 interface with momentary con-
tact SPST switches. All switch inputs are internally
debounced and pulled up to VLOGIC through 50kΩ
resistors. The wiper setting advances once per button
press up to 1s. Maxim’s SmartWiper control circuitry
allows the wiper to advance at a rate of 4Hz when an
input is held low from 1s up to 4s, and at a rate of 16Hz
if the contact is maintained for greater than 4s (see
Table 2). The SmartWiper control eliminates the need for
a microcomputer to increase the wiper transition rate.
The MAX5456 features independent control inputs for
volume and balance control while the MAX5457 MODE
input toggles between volume and balance control.
Each transition of MODEfrom high to low toggles the
MAX5457 between volume-control and balance-control
modes. MODEis internally pulled high with a 50kΩ
resistor to VLOGIC.
Volume ControlIn volume-control mode, the MAX5456/MAX5457s’
wipers move simultaneously, maintaining the balance
separation between each wiper (Figure3a).
When either wiper reaches the maximum tap position
(position closest to H_), further commands to increase
the volume are ignored. Balance separation is main-
tained in the maximum volume configuration (Figure3b).
When either wiper reaches the minimum tap position
(position closest to L_), further commands to decrease
the volume adjust the other wiper until it also reaches
the minimum tap position (Figure3c).
Increasing the volume from this minimum position
restores the original balance separation of the wipers
(Figure3d).
When both wipers are in the 31st tap position (-62dB
attenuation), further commands to VOLDNplace the
wipers in the mute position (see Table1). VOLUPor
MUTEpulses return wipers to position 31.

Balance ControlIn balance-control mode, the MAX5456/MAX5457
adjust the balance between channel 0 and channel 1
while maintaining the set volume. For example, if the
volume of channel 0 equals the volume of channel 1,
forcing the balance towards channel 1 increases the
attenuation of channel 0 (Figure4a). If channel 1 is at a
higher attenuation than channel 0, adjusting the bal-
ance to channel 1 moves channel 1’s wiper up to the
same wiper position as channel 0 before attenuating
channel 0 (Figure4b).
To control the wiper quickly with a logic signal, main-
tain pulses at least 22.5ms wide and separated by at
least 40ms.
