The linear taper means each step changes resistance by an equal increment — suited for voltage-divider or adjustable-reference applications where the relationship between code and output is linear. The part operates from 1.7V to 5.5V, covering 1.8V logic, 3.3V, and 5V rails without needing an extra supply regulator. The wiper resistance is a typical 25Ω, and the temperature coefficient is 50ppm/°C, keeping the set point stable across temperature. ## Package and footprint Housed in an 8-WFDFN exposed-pad package (8-TDFN-EP, 2x2 mm), the MAX5394LATA+T is a surface-mount device. The exposed pad should be soldered to a PCB thermal land for heat dissipation — the datasheet's recommended footprint is the reference. ## Temperature grade and environment Rated for -40°C to 125°C, this digital pot is suited for industrial control, automotive under-hood, outdoor telecom, and factory-automation environments where the ambient temperature swings beyond commercial limits. The 50ppm/°C tempco and wide supply range make it a candidate for precision bias adjustments or programmable references in those settings. ## Lifecycle and sourcing The MAX5394LATA+T is listed as Active and ROHS3 compliant.","metaTitle":"MAX5394LATA+T Digital Potentiometer, 10kΩ, 256 Taps, SPI","metaDescription":"Maxim MAX5394LATA+T single 10kΩ digital potentiometer, 256 taps, SPI interface, linear taper, 1.7V-5.5V supply, -40°C to 125°C.

For audio volume control where perceived loudness follows a logarithmic curve, a log-taper digital pot is the usual choice. A linear pot can work in a digital volume-control loop with software mapping, but the step sizes will be uneven in perceived loudness."},{"question":"Does MAX5394LATA+T come in tape and reel?","answer":"Yes.
