• Manufacturer Part Number: MAX5407EKA
• Description: 32-Tap Audio Logarithmic Taper Digital Potentiometer
• Manufacturer: MAXIM [Maxim Integrated Products]

The power-on reset feature sets the wiper to the maxi-
mum attenuation (tap position 31, -31dB) at power-up.
If CS is initially high, the MAX5407 is in the increment
mode by default.
When the ZCEN input 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.
The 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.

The MAX5407 is intended for circuits requiring digitally
controlled adjustable voltage or adjustable gain, such
as applications involving volume control.
The 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.

audio signal swings.
Figure 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.
Figure 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.
