MAX5487PMB1 Peripheral Module
General Description
The MAX5487PMB1 peripheral module provides the nec-
essary hardware to interface the MAX5487 dual linear-
taper digital potentiometer to any system that utilizes
PmodK-compatible expansion ports configurable for SPI
communication. These digital potentiometers function
like mechanical potentiometers with a simple 3-wire SPI^-
compatible interface that programs the wipers to any one
of 256 tap positions. The terminals of each potentiometer
are available at the output connector for attachment to
external circuitry.
Refer to the MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489 IC data sheet
for detailed information regarding operation of the IC.
