The MAX5408–MAX5411 dual, logarithmic taper digital
potentiometers, with 32-tap points each, replace
mechanical potentiometers in audio applications requiring digitally controlled resistors. The MAX5408/
MAX5410 are dual potentiometers with one wiper per
potentiometer. The MAX5409/MAX5411 are dual potentiometers with two wipers per potentiometer (see
Functional Diagram). An SPI™-compatible serial interface controls the wiper positions. The MAX5408–
MAX5411 have a factory-set resistance of 10kΩ per
potentiometer. A zero-crossing detect feature minimizes the audible noise generated by wiper transitions.
The MAX5408–MAX5411 have nominal temperature
coefficients of 35ppm/°C end-to-end and 5ppm/°C
ratiometric. The MAX5408–MAX5411 are available in
16-pin QSOP and 16-pin thin QFN packages and are
specified over the extended temperature range (-40°C
to +85°C).

An SPI-compatible serial interface controls the
MAX5408–MAX5411. The input word to the device is
eight bits long, composed of three address bits (A0,
A1, and A2), followed by five data bits, with MSB first
(see Tables 1 and 2). The first three address bits set
the value of internal registers. The five data bits control
the wiper position. For certain commands, some of the
five data bits are “don’t cares”, but must be sent to the
device.
The serial data is listed in Tables 1 and 2.
The control code determines:
• Potentiometer to update or register to set.
• Data for mute register (Tables 3 and 4).
• Data for zero-crossing detection register (Tables 5
and 6).
The data bits control the position of the wiper (Table 7).
A logic low on the chip-select input (CS) enables the
device’s serial interface. A logic high on CS disables
the interface control circuitry. See Figure 1 for serialinterface timing description.

MAX5408–MAX5411
The digital output, DOUT, lags the digital input signal,
DIN by 8.5 clock cycles. Force CS high to disable
DOUT, placing DOUT in three-state mode. Force CS
low to enable DOUT and disable three-state mode.
Force CS high, after a word has been written to the
MAX5408–MAX5411 to make a readback request. The
next CS low period writes the requested data to DOUT.
A readback request overwrites any previous data in the
shift register. Note that the data appears at DOUT in
the order: A0, A1, A2, D4, D3, D2, D1, D0. A0 will be
available after the first high-to-low transition of SCLK
when CS is low. The input continues to load the shift
register while data is being read out of the MAX5408–
MAX5411. The input data appears at DOUT 8.5 clock
cycles later. A CS transition from low-to-high latches
the input data. For any control byte, the state of SCLK
must be the same for both CS low-to-high transitions
and CS high-to-low transitions in order to preserve the
data at DOUT while CS transitions. For proper operation, ensure that the input data remains valid on both
the SCLK rising and falling edges when daisy chaining
multiple devices.
Zero-Crossing Detection
The zero-crossing detection register enables the zerocrossing detect feature. The zero-crossing detect feature reduces the audible noise (“clicks and pops”) that
result from wiper transitions. The wiper changes position only when the voltage at L_ is the same as the voltage at H_. Each wiper has a zero-crossing and timeout
circuit (see Figure 2). With zero-crossing enabled, the
MAX5408–MAX5411 change wiper position after 50ms
or when zero crossing is detected.
Power-On Reset
The power-on reset (POR) feature sets all the wipers to
the maximum attenuation (tap position 31, -62dB) at
power-up. If either VDDor V
LOGIC
is zero volts, a poweron reset intiates when one of the supplies is brought
back to the operating voltage.
Mute Function
When mute is enabled, the wipers go to -90dB attenuation. When mute is disabled, the wiper returns to its
position before mute was enabled. All wipers can be
muted simultaneously or independently.
Applications Information
Attenuation Control
Figure 3 shows the application of an attenuation control.
The op amps are connected in a follower configuration
with a fixed gain. The digitally controlled potentiometer
attenuates the input signal.
Stereo Volume Control
Figure 4 shows the application of stereo volume control using MAX5409/MAX5411. The op amps are connected in a follower configuration with fixed gain. The
digitally controlled potentiometer attenuates the input
signals. The second wiper of each potentiometer controls the signal amplitude at the rear set of speakers.
Daisy-Chaining
Figure 5 shows an application daisy-chaining the
serial-interfaces of the MAX5408–MAX5411. A singlewrite command updates multiple devices from a single
digital port in this configuration (see Digital SerialInterface section).
Gain Control
Figure 6 shows the application of a gain control.
Note: Muting the potentiometer creates unpredictable
behavior at the output of the op amp, and may seriously
degrade the performance of the op amp.
