CAT5115
32‐tap Digital
Potentiometer (POT)
Description
The CAT5115 is a single digital POT designed as an electronic
replacement for mechanical potentiometers and trim pots. Ideal for
automated adjustments on high volume production lines, they are also
well suited for applications where equipment requiring periodic
adjustment is either difficult to access or located in a hazardous or
remote environment.
The CAT5115 contains a 32-tap series resistor array connected
between two terminals R
H
and R
L
. An up/down counter and decoder
that are controlled by three input pins, determines which tap is
connected to the wiper, R
W
. The wiper is always set to the mid point,
tap 15 at power up. The tap position is not stored in memory.
Wiper-control of the CAT5115 is accomplished with three input
control pins, CS, U/D, and INC. The INC input increments the wiper
in the direction which is determined by the logic state of the U/D input.
The CS input is used to select the device.
The digital POT can be used as a three-terminal resistive divider or
as a two-terminal variable resistor. Digital POTs bring variability and
programmability to a wide variety of applications including control,
parameter adjustments, and signal processing.
For a pin-compatible device that recalls a stored tap position on
power-up refer to the CAT5114 data sheet.

:

R

is the low end terminal of the potentiometer. It is not
required that this terminal be connected to a potential less
than the R

cannot exceed the supply voltage, V

or go below ground,

and R

are electrically interchangeable.
CS:
Chip Select
The chip select input is used to activate the control input of
the CAT5115 and is active low. When in a high state, activity
on the INC and U/D inputs will not affect or change the
position of the wiper.
Device Operation
The CAT5115 operates like a digitally controlled
potentiometer with R
H
and R
L
equivalent to the high and low
terminals and R
W
equivalent to the mechanical
potentiometer’s wiper. There are 32 available tap positions
including the resistor end points, R
H
and R
L
. There are 31
resistor elements connected in series between the R
H
and R
L
terminals. The wiper terminal is connected to one of the 32
taps and controlled by three inputs, INC, U/D and CS. These
inputs control a five-bit up/down counter whose output is
decoded to select the wiper position.
With CS set LOW the CAT5115 is selected and will
respond to the U/D and INC inputs. HIGH to LOW
transitions on INC will increment or decrement the wiper
(depending on the state of the U/D input and five-bit
counter). The wiper, when at either fixed terminal, acts like
its mechanical equivalent and does not move beyond the last
position. When the CAT5115 is powered-down, the wiper
position is reset. When power is restored, the counter is set
to the mid point, tap 15.
Pin Function
INC:
Increment Control Input
The INC input moves the wiper in the up or down direction
determined by the condition of the U/D input.
U/D:
Up/Down Control Input
The U/D input controls the direction of the wiper movement.
When in a high state and CS is low, any high-to-low
transition on INC will cause the wiper to move one
increment toward the R
H
terminal. When in a low state and
CS is low, any high-to-low transition on INC will cause the
wiper to move one increment towards the R
L
terminal.
R
H
:
High End Potentiometer Terminal
R

is the high end terminal of the potentiometer. It is not
required that this terminal be connected to a potential greater
than the R

terminal. Voltage applied to the R

terminal
cannot exceed the supply voltage, V
CC
or go below ground,
GND.
R
W
:
Wiper Potentiometer Terminal
R
