Offset Voltage and Gain Adjustment
Connect the high and low terminals of one potentiome-
ter of a MAX5477 between the NULL inputs of a
MAX410 and the wiper to the op amp’s positive supply
to nullify the offset voltage over the operating tempera-
ture range. Install the other potentiometer in the feed-
back path to adjust the gain of the MAX410 (Figure 12).
Adjustable Voltage Reference
Figure 13 shows the MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479
used as the feedback resistors in multiple adjustable
voltage reference applications. Independently adjust
the output voltages of the MAX6160 parts from 1.23V to
V
IN
- 0.2V by changing the wiper positions of the
MAX5477/MAX5478/MAX5479.
