CAT5241
Quad Digitally Program-
mable Potentiometer (DPPt)
with 64 Taps and I
Interface
Description
The CAT5241 is four Digitally Programmable Potentiometers
(DPPst) integrated with control logic and 16 bytes of NVRAM
memory. Each DPP consists of a series of 63 resistive elements
connected between two externally accessible end points. The tap
points between each resistive element are connected to the wiper
outputs with CMOS switches. A separate 6−bit control register (WCR)
independently controls the wiper tap switches for each DPP.
Associated with each wiper control register are four 6−bit non−volatile
memory data registers (DR) used for storing up to four wiper settings.
Writing to the wiper control register or any of the non−volatile data
2
registers is via a I
C serial bus. On power−up, the contents of the first
data register (DR0) for each of the four potentiometers is
automatically loaded into its respective wiper control register (WCR).
The CAT5241 can be used as a potentiometer or as a two terminal,
variable resistor. It is intended for circuit level or system level
adjustments in a wide variety of applications.
