Datasheet

General Description
The MAX5422 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled
and tested PCB that evaluates the MAX5422 IC. The
MAX5422 is a 50kΩ 256-tap, nonvolatile, linear digital
potentiometer communicating over SPI™. The
MAX5422 features an internal nonvolatile EEPROM
used to store the potentiometer’s wiper position for ini-
tialization during power-up. The EEPROM is pro-
grammed through the SPI-compatible serial interface,
communicating at data rates up to 5MHz. The SPI sig-
nals can be transmitted through an on-board USB inter-
face circuit using a computer or a user-supplied SPI
bus along with PCB headers on the EV kit.
The EV kit also features Windows 2000/XP/Vista
®
-com-
patible software that provides a professional user inter-
face for exercising the MAX5422’s features. The program
is menu driven and offers a graphical user interface
(GUI) complete with buttons, track bars, and spin boxes.
The MAX5422 IC is powered from a 3.3V source gener-
ated from the EV kit’s USB interface circuit, or an exter-
nal user-supplied 2.7V to 5.25V DC power supply. The
MAX5422 section can be broken out from the EV kit,
allowing the MAX5422 to be attached to the user appli-
cations with minimal additional circuit area.
The EV kit can also evaluate the MAX5423 (100kΩ)
or MAX5424 (200kΩ) after IC replacement (U1). The
MAX5422 EV kit is shipped with a MAX5422ETA+
IC installed.
