Digital pot with a linear sweep — 32 taps, 200 kΩ end-to-end
The Maxim Integrated MAX5160NEUA+ is a single-channel, 32-tap digital potentiometer configured as a potentiometer (three-terminal) with a linear taper. End-to-end resistance is 200 kΩ. The memory type is volatile, meaning the wiper position defaults to mid-scale on power-up and must be set by the host controller after each reset. This is typical for digital pots used in trim/calibration loops where the micro reads a stored value from nonvolatile memory and writes it to the pot during initialization.
Industrial temperature and package fit
Rated for -40°C to 85°C operation, the MAX5160NEUA+ suits industrial control, sensor trimming, and power-supply adjustment in environments where the board sees temperature swings but not extended high heat. The 8-uMAX/uSOP package (3.00 mm width, 0.118" body) is a compact surface-mount footprint — useful where board area is tight, such as on a PLC analog I/O slice or a motor-drive feedback card. The typical temperature coefficient of 50 ppm/°C is the drift figure to watch when the pot sets a voltage reference or a current limit across temperature.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The MAX5160NEUA+ carries an Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant.
