CAT5140
Single Channel 256 Tap
Digital Potentiometer (POT)
with Integrated EEPROM
and I
2
C Control
The CAT5140 is a single channel non-volatile 256-tap digital POT.
This digital POT is comprised of a series of equal value resistor
elements connected between two externally accessible end points. The
tap points between each resistive element can be selectively connected
to the wiper output via internal CMOS switches forming a linear taper
electronic potentiometer.
The CAT5140 contains a volatile wiper register (WR) and an 8-bit
non-volatile EEPROM for wiper position and 5 additional
non-volatile registers for general purpose data storage. Programming
of the registers is controlled via I
2
C interface. On power up, the wiper
position is reset to the most recent value stored in the non-volatile
memory register (IVR).
The CAT5140 is available in an Pb free, RoHS compliant 8-lead
MSOP package, and operates over the industrial temperature range of
−40C
to +85C.

Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the
Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the Recommended Operating Conditions may affect
device reliability.
2. The minimum DC input voltage is –0.5 V. During transitions, inputs may undershoot to –2.0 V for periods of less than 20 ns. Maximum DC

Absolute linearity is utilized to determine actual wiper voltage versus expected voltage as determined by wiper position when used as a
potentiometer.
7. Relative linearity is a measure of the error in step size. It is determined by the actual change in voltage between two successive tap positions
when used as a potentiometer.
8. This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.
