10kΩ digital pot with 64-tap resolution
The MAX5529GUA+T is a single-channel, 10kΩ digital potentiometer with 64 wiper tap positions and a linear taper characteristic, from Analog Devices. The non-volatile memory type stores the wiper setting on-chip, so the position at power-on matches the last programmed value — no re-initialization routine needed after a power cycle. The 35ppm/°C temperature coefficient keeps the resistance stable across the thermal envelope — relevant when the pot sets a bias voltage or feedback divider in a temperature-varying enclosure.
Package, interface, and wiper specs for BOM fit
Housed in an 8-TSSOP or 8-MSOP package (3.00mm width), the supplier device package is 8-uMAX/uSOP — a common footprint for small-signal analog ICs. Surface-mount assembly with Tape & Reel or Cut Tape packaging options. Control is via a simple Up/Down (U/D, CS) 3-wire digital interface — no I²C or SPI overhead, which simplifies firmware on a GPIO-constrained MCU. The wiper resistance is 125Ω typical, which sets the minimum end-to-end resistance when the wiper is at the top tap. Full-scale resistance tolerance is ±25%, typical for a semiconductor pot; the ratiometric accuracy between taps is tighter and governs the divider ratio precision.
No UL, IEC, or AEC-Q automotive qualification is listed in the available documentation — the part is catalogued for general-purpose and industrial use, not safety-certified or automotive-grade applications.
