Dual 10kΩ digital pot with 256 taps — what it is and where it fits
The MAX5403EUB+ is a dual-channel, 256-tap digital potentiometer in a 10-uMAX/uSOP package. Each channel presents a 10kΩ end-to-end resistance with a linear taper, controlled over an SPI interface.
Package and footprint
The 10-uMAX/uSOP package (3.00mm body width) is a common small-outline footprint. It is surface-mount, so a reflow profile is needed — no socket for field swaps. The SPI interface uses four pins (CS, SCK, SDI, and SDO for daisy-chain), leaving six pins for the two potentiometer channels and supply.
Lifecycle and sourcing
It is ROHS3 compliant. No last-time-buy or obsolescence risk for new designs.
