ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
MAX5407
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
(VDD = +2.7V to +5.5V, VH = VDD, VL = 0, TA = TMIN to TMAX, unless otherwise noted. Typical values are at VDD = +5V and TA = +25°C.)

Note 1: All devices are 100% production tested at TA = +25°C and guaranteed by design for TA = TMIN to TMAX.
Note 2: Bandwidth is measured from H to W at the -6dB wiper tap position (see Typical Operating Characteristics).
Note 3: These specifications are only valid for IW less than 100nA of continuous wiper current.
Note 4: Measured with 20pF load capacitor.
Note 5: Absolute tolerance is defined as the variation of the attenuation for any given tap from its expected value.
Note 6: Tap-to-tap tolerance is defined as the variation between any two adjacent taps from the typical value of 1dB.
Note 7: Supply current when fTOGGLE = 2MHz.
Note 8: Supply current when wiper position is not changing.
