The COPY commands (C1, C0 = 10, 11) can use either eight clock cycles to transfer only command and address bits (Figure 3b) or 16 clock cycles, with the device disregarding 8 data bits (Figure 3a). After loading data into the shift register, drive CS high to latch the data into the appropriate potentiometer control register and disable the serial interface. Keep CS low during the entire serial data stream to avoid corruption of the data. The MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489 contain two resistor arrays, with 255 resistive elements each. The MAX5487 has an end-to-end resistance of 10k, while the MAX5488 and MAX5489 have resistances of 50k and 100k, respectively. These devices allow access to the high, low, and wiper terminals on both potentiometers for a standard voltage-divider configuration. Connect the wiper to the high terminal, and connect the low terminal to ground, to make the device a variable resistor (see Figure 1). A simple 3-wire serial interface programs either wiper directly to any of the 256 tap points. The nonvolatile memory stores the wiper position prior to power-down and recalls the wiper to the same point upon power-up or by using an interface command (see Table 1). The nonvolatile memory is guaranteed for 200,000 wiper store cycles and 50 years for wiper data retention. Digital-Interface Format The data format consists of three elements: command bits, address bits, and data bits (see Table 1 and Figure 3). The command bits (C1 and C0) indicate the action to be taken such as changing or storing the wiper position. The address bits (A1 and A0) specify which potentiometer the command affects and the 8 data bits (D7 to D0) specify the wiper position. SPI Digital Interface These devices use a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial data interface (Figure 2 and Figure 3). This write-only interface contains three inputs: chip-select (CS), data clock (SCLK), and data in (DIN). Drive CS low to enable the serial interface and clock data synchronously into the shift register on each SCLK rising edge.

Timing Diagram Write-Wiper Register (Command 00) Write-NV Register (Command 01) Data written to the write-wiper registers (C1, C0 = 00) controls the wiper positions. The 8 data bits (D7 to D0) indicate the position of the wiper. For example, if DIN = 0000 0000, the wiper moves to the position closest to L_. If DIN = 1111 1111, the wiper moves closest to H_. This command (C1, C0 = 01) stores the position of the wipers to the NV registers for use at power-up. Alternatively, the "copy wiper register to NV register" command can be used to store the position of the wipers to the NV registers. Writing to the NV registers does not affect the position of the wipers. This command writes data to the volatile RAM, leaving the NV registers unchanged. When the device powers up, the data stored in the NV registers transfers to the volatile wiper register, moving the wiper to the stored position. Copy Wiper Register to NV Register (Command 10) This command (C1, C0 = 10) stores the current position of the wiper to the NV register, for use at power-up.

Alternatively, the "write NV register" command can be used to store the current position of the wiper to the NV register. Copy NV Register to Wiper Register (Command 11) This command (C1, C0 = 11) restores the wiper position to the previously stored position in the NV register. This command may affect one potentiometer at a time, or both simultaneously, depending on the state of A1 and A0. Nonvolatile Memory The internal EEPROM consists of a nonvolatile register that retains the last stored value prior to power-down. The nonvolatile register is programmed to midscale at the factory. The nonvolatile memory is guaranteed for 200,000 wiper write cycles and 50 years for wiper data retention. Power-Up Upon power-up, these devices load the data stored in the nonvolatile wiper register into the volatile memory register, updating the wiper position with the data stored in the nonvolatile wiper register. This initialization period takes 5s. The MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489 feature a lowpower standby mode. When the device is not being programmed, it enters into standby mode and supply current drops to 0.5A (typ). Applications Information The MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489 are ideal for circuits requiring digitally controlled adjustable resistance, such as LCD contrast control (where voltage biasing adjusts the display contrast), or for programmable filters with adjustable gain and/or cutoff frequency. Positive LCD Bias Control Figure 4 and Figure 5 show an application where the devices provide an adjustable, positive LCD-bias voltage. The op amp provides buffering and gain to the resistordivider network made by the potentiometer (Figure 4) or by a fixed resistor and a variable resistor (Figure 5). Programmable Filter Figure 6 shows the MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489 in a 1st-order programmable-filter application. Adjust the gain of the filter with R2, and set the cutoff frequency with R3.

Install the other potentiometer in the feedback path to adjust the gain of the MAX410 (see Figure 8). www.maximintegrated.com 1 MAX410 Adjustable Voltage Reference Figure 7 shows the devices used as the feedback resistors in multiple adjustable voltage-reference applications. Independently adjust the output voltages of the MAX6160s from 1.23V to VIN - 0.2V by changing the wiper positions of the MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489. 7 2 4 8 R1 6 R2 = RHL x D / 256 WHERE RHL = END-TO-END RESISTANCE AND = D DECIMAL VALUE OF WIPER CODE HB 1/2 MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489 R2 WB LB Figure 8.
