Precision-Matched Resistor-Divider in SOT23
MAX5491
General Description
The MAX5491 precision resistor-divider consists of two
accurately matched resistors with access to the ends
and center of the divider. This device offers excellent
resistance matching of 0.035% (A grade), 0.05% (B
grade), and 0.1% (C grade). The MAX5491 includes an
extremely low resistance-ratio temperature drift of
2ppm/°C over -40°C to +85°C, and has an end-to-end
resistance of 30kΩ. Resistance ratios from 1:1 to 30:1 are
available. Ten standard ratios are available (see Table
1), and custom ratios are also available upon request. To
enhance device and system robustness, the MAX5491
also features ±2kV Human Body Model electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD) protection to ensure against real-world
ESD events. The MAX5491 is ideal for precision gain-set-
ting applications where tight resistance matching and
low temperature drift are necessary.
The MAX5491 is available in a space-saving 3-pin
SOT23 package, and is guaranteed over the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Detailed Description
As shown in the
Block Diagram,
the MAX5491 consists
of two precision, low-ratio-drift resistors with an end-to-
end resistance of 30kΩ (R
1
+ R
2
). P3 is the center tap
of the divider. The maximum working voltage of the
MAX5491 is 50V. This device offers a wide range of
resistance ratios (R
1
/R
2
) from 1:1 to 30:1 and is ideally
suited for precision operational amplifier gain/attenua-
tion control. The MAX5491 features a ±2kV ESD protec-
tion that enhances system robustness. A maximum
initial ratio accuracy of 0.035% and a low 2ppm/°C ratio
drift enhance system accuracy.

Applications Information
Self-Heating and Error
Applying a voltage across terminals P1 and P2 causes
the device to heat up due to power dissipation. In high-
voltage applications, consider the error in resistance-
ratio temperature coefficient caused by self-heating.
The worst-case self-heating occurs when the operating
voltage attains its maximum value. Approximate the
result of power dissipation under this condition as:
P
DISS
=
4
The thermal resistance from junction to ambient,
θ
J-A
,
for a 3-pin SOT23 package is 141°C/W. Calculate the
resulting temperature rise as:
∆T
= 83.3mW x 141°C/W = 11.7°C
If the ratio temperature coefficient is 2ppm/°C (typ), the
total error introduced by self-heating is:
11.7°C x 2ppm/°C = 23.4ppm
