Nonvolatile memory storage for up to four wiper
settings for each potentiometer
DESCRIPTION
The CAT5241 is four Digitally Programmable
Potentiometers (DPPs鈩? 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
registers is via a 2-wire serial bus (I
2
C-like). 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.
