That is low enough that it does not significantly shift the divider ratio at mid-to-high settings, but at the lowest few taps the wiper resistance becomes a larger fraction of the total. If the design runs the wiper near ground, factor that 50Ω into the bottom-leg impedance. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, which covers most industrial control cabinets, outdoor telecom gear, and automotive cabin environments. Not rated for under-hood or engine bay, but fine for the passenger compartment or a climate-controlled enclosure. The ±25% tolerance on the end-to-end resistance is typical for digital pots — the absolute resistance value is loose, but the ratiometric accuracy between taps is tight. If the design uses the pot as a voltage divider, the tolerance cancels out. If it is used as a variable resistor (rheostat), the absolute resistance tolerance means the actual resistance at a given tap code can vary by ±25% from part to part. Plan for that in the circuit design. ## Package and footprint The MAX5482ETE+T comes in a 16-pin TQFN package measuring 3 mm x 3 mm (supplier device package 16-TQFN). The exposed pad underneath provides a thermal path to the PCB ground plane. The part is surface-mount only; no through-hole variant exists for this order code.","metaTitle":"MAX5482ETE+T Digital Potentiometer, 50kΩ, 1024-Tap, SPI","metaDescription":"MAX5482ETE+T digital potentiometer from Analog Devices. 50kΩ resistance, 1024 taps, linear taper, SPI/up-down interface, non-volatile, -40°C to 85°C.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["DC-DC Power Modules"],"specifications":{"Taper":"Linear","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Interface":"SPI, Up/Down (U/D, INC, CS)","Tolerance":"±25%","Memory Type":"Non-Volatile","Configuration":"Potentiometer","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Number of Taps":"1024","Package / Case":"16-WFQFN Exposed Pad","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Voltage - Supply":"2.7V ~ 5.25V, ±2.5V ~ 5.25V","Resistance (Ohms)":"50k","Number of Circuits":"1","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 85°C","Supplier Device Package":"16-TQFN (3x3)","Temperature Coefficient (Typ)":"35ppm/°C","Resistance - Wiper (Ohms) (Typ)":"50"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$6.44","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$6.44000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$5.82000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$5.54880","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$4.81810","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$4.60156","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$4.19554","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$3.65418","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$3.51884","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/MAX5481-MAX5484.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is MAX5482ETE+T available in tape and reel?","answer":"Yes, this order code suffix (+T) indicates tape-and-reel packaging. It is also available in cut tape."},{"question":"Can I use MAX5482ETE+T as a replacement for MAX5481?","answer":"The MAX5481 is a 10kΩ variant in the same family; the MAX5482ETE+T is 50kΩ. They share the same package, pinout, and interface, so they are pin-compatible — but the resistance value is different. If your circuit expects 10kΩ, the 50kΩ part will not work as a drop-in without redesigning the surrounding resistor network."},{"question":"Is MAX5482ETE+T compatible with 2.7V logic?","answer":"The supply voltage range goes down to 2.7V, so the device itself operates at 2.7V. The SPI and up/down logic thresholds scale with the supply; at 2.7V supply the input high threshold is typically 0.7 × VDD (about 1.9V). A 2.7V logic output driving the inputs will meet that threshold. For a 3.3V or 5V MCU, no level shifting is needed."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/analog-devices/MAX5482ETET","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/analog-devices/MAX5482ETET when reusing this data.
