H_ = VDD, L_ = GND, and the wiper terminal is loaded with 10pF capacitance to ground. Note 7: Digital timing is guaranteed by design and characterization, not production tested. Note 8: The SCL clock period includes rise and fall times (tR = tF). All digital input signals are specified with tR = tF = 2ns and timed from a voltage level of (VIL + VIH)/2. Note 9: An appropriate bus pullup resistance must be selected depending on board capacitance.

The potentiometer consists of 255 fixed resistors in series between terminals H_ and L_. The potentiometer wiper, W_, is programmable to access any one of the 256 tap points on the resistor string. The potentiometers are programmable independently of each other. The MAX5392 features an I2C interface. Charge Pump TThe MAX5392 contains an internal charge pump that guarantees the maximum wiper resistance, RWL, to be less than 200 for supply voltages down to 1.7V. Pins H_, W_, and L_ are still required to be less than VDD + 0.3V. A bypass input, BYP, is provided to allow additional filtering of the charge-pump output, further reducing clock feedthrough that can occur on H_, W_, or L_. The nominal clock rate of the charge pump is 600kHz. BYP should remain resistively unloaded as any additional load would increase clock feedthrough. See the Charge-Pump Feedthrough at W_ vs. CBYP graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics for CBYP sizing guidelines with respect to clock feedthrough to the wiper. The value of CBYP does affect the startup time of the charge pump; however, CBYP does not impact the ability to communicate with the device, nor is there a minimum CBYP requirement. The maximum wiper impedance specification is not guaranteed until the charge pump is fully settled. See the BYP Ramp Time vs. CBYP graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics for CBYP impact on charge-pump settling time. I2C Digital Interface I2C The interface contains a shift register that decodes the command and address bytes, routing the data to the appropriate control registers. Data written to a control register immediately updates the wiper position. The wipers A and B power up in midposition, D[7:0] = 80h. Serial Addressing The MAX5392 operates as a slave device that receives data through an I2C/SMBusK-compatible 2-wire serial interface. The interface uses a serial-data access line (SDA) and a serial-clock line (SCL) to achieve bidirectional communication between master(s) and slave(s). A master, typically a microcontroller, initiates all data transfers to the port and generates the SCL clock that synchronizes the data transfer. See Figure 2. Connect a pullup resistor, typically 4.7kI, between each of the SDA and SCL lines to a voltage between VDD and 5.5V. tHD:STA SDA tSU:STD tSU:DTA tSU:DAT tBUF tHD:DAT tLOW SCL tHIGH tHD:STA tR tF START CONDITION (S) REPEATD START CONDITION (Sr) ACKNOWLEDGE (A) STOP CONDITION START CONDITION (P) (S) Figure 2. I2C Serial-Interface Timing Diagram SMBus is a trademark of Intel Corp. 10 Dual, 256-Tap, Volatile, Low-Voltage, Linear Taper Digital Potentiometer START and STOP Conditions SCL and SDA remain high when the interface is inactive. A master controller signals the beginning of a transmission with a START condition by transitioning SDA from high to low while SCL is high. The master controller issues a STOP condition by transitioning the SDA from low to high while SCL is high, after finishing communicating with the slave. The bus is then free for another transmission. See Figure 2. Bit Transfer One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain stable while SCL is high. See Figure 5. Acknowledge The acknowledge bit is a clocked 9th bit that the recipient uses to handshake receipt of each byte of data. See Figure 6. Each byte transferred requires a total of 9 bits. The master controller generates the 9th clock pulse, and the recipient pulls down SDA during the acknowledge clock pulse, so the SDA line remains stable low during the high period of the clock pulse.

Command and Single Data Byte Received Slave Address The MAX5392 includes a 7-bit slave address (Figure 4). The 8th bit following the 7th bit of the slave address is the NOP/W bit. Set the NOP/W bit low for a write command and high for a no-operation command. The device does not support readback. The device provides three address inputs (A0, A1, and A2), allowing up to eight devices to share a common bus (Table 1). The first 4 bits (MSBs) of the factory-set slave addresses are always 0101. A2, A1, and A0 set the next 3 bits of the slave address. Connect each address input to VDD or GND. Each device must have a unique address to share a common bus. Message Format for Writing Write to the devices by transmitting the device's slave address with NOP/W (8th bit) set to zero, followed by at least 2 bytes of information. The first byte of informa- tion is the command byte. The second byte is the data byte. The data byte goes into the internal register of the device as selected by the command byte (Figure 7 and Table 2). Table 1.

See Table 2. Command Descriptions REG A: The data byte writes to register A and the wiper of potentiometer A moves to the appropriate position. D[7:0] indicates the position of the wiper. D[7:0] = 00h moves the wiper to the position closest to LA. D[7:0] = FFh moves the wiper closest to HA. D[7:0] is 80h following power-on.

OUT1 VOUT ACK Applications Information REG B: The data byte writes to register B and the wiper of potentiometer B moves to the appropriate position. D[7:0] indicates the position of the wiper. D[7:0] = 00h moves the wiper to the position closest to LB. D[7:0] = FFh moves the wiper to the position closest to HB. D[7:0] is 80h following power-on. REG A and B: The data byte writes to registers A and B and the wipers of potentiometers A and B move to the appropriate position. D[7:0] indicates the position of the wiper. D[7:0] = 00h moves the wipers to the position closest to L_. D[7:0] = FFh moves the wipers to the position closest to H_. D[7:0] is 80h following power-on. 27 STOP (P) SCL START (S) ADDRESS BYTE 1 H MAX8866 V+ IN H W SET1 W L L SET2 Figure 8. Variable Gain Noninverting Amplifier Figure 10.
