Detailed Description

The MAX5417/MAX5418/MAX5419 contain a resistor

array with 255 resistive elements. The MAX5417 has a

total end-to-end resistance of 50k

Ω, the MAX5418 has

an end-to-end resistance of 100k

Ω, and the MAX5419

has an end-to-end resistance of 200k

Ω. The

MAX5417/MAX5418/MAX5419 allow access to the high,

low, and wiper terminals for a standard voltage-divider

configuration. H, L, and W can be connected in any

desired configuration as long as their voltages fall

the wiper among the 256 tap points. A nonvolatile mem-

ory stores the wiper position and recalls the stored wiper

position in the nonvolatile memory upon power-up. The

nonvolatile memory is guaranteed for 50 years for wiper

data retention and up to 200,000 wiper store cycles.
