DESCRIPTION
The CAT5132 is a high voltage Digitally Programmable
Potentiometer (DPP) with non-volatile wiper setting
memory, operating like a mechanical potentiometer.
The tap points between the 127 equal resistive elements
are connected to the wiper output via CMOS switches.
The switches are controlled by a 7-bit Wiper Control
Register (WCR). The wiper setting can be stored in a
7-bit non-volatile Data Register (DR). The WCR is
accessed via the 2-wire serial bus.
Upon power-up, the WCR is set to mid-scale (1000000).
After the power supply is stable, the contents of the DR
are transferred to the WCR and the wiper is returned to
the memorized setting.
The CAT5132 has two voltage supplies: V
CC
, the digital
supply and V+, the analog supply. V+ can be much
higher than V
CC
, allowing for 16V analog operations.
The CAT5132 can be used as a potentiometer or as a
two-terminal variable resistor.

COMMENT
Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may
cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only,
and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions
outside of those listed in the operational sections of this specification is not
implied. Exposure to any absolute maximum rating for extended periods
may affect device performance and reliability.
Notes:
1. Latch-up protection is provided for stresses up to 100mA on
address and data pins from -0.3V to V

Notes:
1. This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.
2. Absolute linearity is utilized to determine actual wiper voltage versus expected voltage as determined by wiper position when used as a
potentiometer.
3. Relative linearity is utilized to determine the actual change in voltage between two successive tap positions when used as a potentiometer.

The write cycle is the time from a valid stop condition of a write sequence to the end of the internal program/erase cycle.
During the write cycle, the bus interface circuits are disabled, SDA is allowed to remain high and the device does not
respond to its slave address.
