Dual 100kΩ linear digital pot — what it is and where it fits
The Maxim Integrated MAX5389NAUD+ is a dual-channel, 256-tap digital potentiometer configured as a linear-taper potentiometer. Each of the two independent potentiometers presents a 100kΩ end-to-end resistance with a wiper resistance of 250Ω typical.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
The MAX5389NAUD+ carries an Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. For volume production or long-term program commitments, qualifying a second source is always prudent — but the Active status means there is no forced replacement window.
