Non-volatile EEPROM wiper storage;
buffered wiper
Low power CMOS technology

packages
DESCRIPTION
The CAT5112 is a single digitally programmable
potentiometer (DPP™) designed as a electronic
replacement for mechanical potentiometers. 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 CAT5112 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
WB
. The CAT5112 wiper is buffered by an
op amp that operates rail to rail. The wiper setting,
stored in non-volatile memory, is not lost when the
device is powered down and is automatically recalled
when power is returned. The wiper can be adjusted to
test new system values without effecting the stored
setting.
Wiper-control
of
the
CAT5112
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
and also store the wiper position prior to power down.
The digitally programmable potentiometer can be
used as a buffered voltage divider. For applications
where the potentiometer is used as a 2-terminal
variable resistor, please refer to the CAT5114. The
buffered wiper of the CAT5112 is not compatible with
that application.
APPLICATIONS
Automated product calibration
Remote control adjustments
Offset, gain and zero control
Tamper-proof calibrations
Contrast, brightness and volume controls
Motor controls and feedback systems
Programmable analog functions

PIN DESCRIPTION
¯¯¯
INC:
Increment Control Input
¯¯¯
The INC input (on the falling edge) 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
H
is the high end terminal of the potentiometer. It is
not required that this terminal be connected to a
potential greater than the R
L
terminal. Voltage applied
to the R
H
terminal cannot exceed the supply voltage,
V
CC
or go below ground, GND.
R
WB
:
Wiper Potentiometer Terminal (Buffered)
R
WB
is the buffered wiper terminal of the potentio–
meter. Its position on the resistor array is controlled by
¯¯¯
¯
¯¯
the control inputs, INC, U/D and CS.
R
L
:
Low End Potentiometer Terminal
R
L
is the low end terminal of the potentiometer. It is
not required that this terminal be connected to a
potential less than the R
H
terminal. Voltage applied to
the R
L
terminal cannot exceed the supply voltage, V
CC
or go below ground, GND. R
L
and R
H
are electrically
interchangeable.
¯¯
CS:
Chip Select
The chip select input is used to activate the control
input of the CAT5112 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 CAT5112 operates like a digitally controlled
potentiometer with R
H
and R
L
equivalent to the high
and low terminals and R
WB
equivalent to the mecha–
nical 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. The selected wiper position
can be stored in nonvolatile memory using the INC
¯¯
and CS inputs.
¯¯
With CS set LOW the CAT5112 is selected and will
¯
¯¯¯
respond to the U/D and INC inputs. HIGH to LOW
¯¯¯
transitions on INC wil 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. The value of the
¯¯
counter is stored in nonvolatile memory whenever CS
¯¯¯
transitions HIGH while the INC input is also HIGH.
When the CAT5112 is powered-down, the last stored
wiper counter position is maintained in the nonvolatile
memory. When power is restored, the contents of the
memory are recalled and the counter is set to the
value stored.
¯¯¯
With INC set low, the CAT5112 may be deselected
and powered down without storing the current wiper
position in nonvolatile memory. This allows the system
to always power up to a preset value stored in non-
volatile memory.
