### **Descriptions:**
The MAX5480ACEE is a dual-channel, 10-bit digital potentiometer that provides a programmable resistance via an SPI-compatible interface. It is designed to replace mechanical potentiometers in applications requiring precise resistance adjustments. The device features non-volatile memory (EEPROM) to store the wiper position, ensuring settings are retained when power is removed.
### **Features:**
1. **Dual 10-Bit Digital Potentiometers** – Two independent potentiometers in a single package.
2. **SPI-Compatible Interface** – Allows easy digital control of resistance settings.
3. **Non-Volatile Wiper Storage** – EEPROM retains settings during power-off.
4. **Wide Supply Voltage Range** – Operates from 2.7V to 5.5V.
5. **Low Power Consumption** – Ideal for battery-powered applications.
6. **50 kΩ End-to-End Resistance** – Suitable for various analog signal conditioning applications.
7. **Industrial Temperature Range** – Operates reliably from -40°C to +85°C.
8. **Compact QSOP-16 Package** – Space-saving surface-mount package.
