Working Principles

The MAX5161LEZT+TG05 is a digital potentiometer that replaces traditional mechanical potentiometers. It consists of a resistor network and a wiper that can be digitally controlled through the I2C interface. The resistance value between the wiper and either end terminal can be adjusted by sending appropriate commands via the I2C bus.

The non-volatile memory ensures that the wiper position is retained even when power is disconnected. This allows for consistent settings upon power-up, making it suitable for applications requiring precise and repeatable resistance values.
