Potentiometers (DPP™) integrated with control logic
and 16 bytes of NVRAM memory.
A separate 6-bit control register (WCR) independently
controls the wiper tap position 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 regis-
ters 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 two potentiometers is automatically loaded into its
respective wiper control registers (WCR).
¯¯¯
The Write Protection (WP) pin protects against
inadvertent programming of the data register.
The CAT5419 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.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SCL:
Serial Clock
The CAT5419 serial clock input pin is used to
clock all data transfers into or out of the device.
SDA:
Serial Data
The CAT5419 bidirectional serial data pin is used
to transfer data into and out of the device. The
SDA pin is an open drain output and can be wire-
OR'd with the other open drain or open collector
outputs.
A0, A1, A2, A3:
Device Address Inputs
These inputs set the device address when
addressing multiple devices. A total of sixteen
devices can be addressed on a single bus. A
match in the slave address must be made with the
address input in order to initiate communication
with the CAT5419.

DEVICE OPERATION
The CAT5419 is two resistor arrays integrated with 2wire serial interface logic, four 6-bit wiper control registers
and sixteen 6-bit, non-volatile memory data registers. Each resistor array contains 63 separate resistive elements
connected in series. The physical ends of each array are equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical
potentiometer (R
H
and R
L
). R
H
and R
L
are symmetrical and may be interchanged. The tap positions between and
at the ends of the series resistors are connected to the output wiper terminals (R
W
) by a CMOS transistor switch.
Only one tap point for each potentiometer is connected to its wiper terminal at a time and is determined by the
value of the wiper control register. Data can be read or written to the wiper control registers or the non-volatile
memory data registers via the 2-wire bus. Additional instructions allow data to be transferred between the wiper
control registers and each respective potentiometer's non-volatile data registers. Also, the device can be
instructed to operate in an "increment/decrement" mode.

Notes:
(1) 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.
(2) The minimum DC input voltage is –0.5V. During transitions, inputs may undershoot to –2.0V for periods of less than 20 ns. Maximum DC
voltage on output pins is V
CC
+0.5V, which may overshoot to V
CC
+2.0V for periods of less than 20 ns.
(3) Latch-up protection is provided for stresses up to 100 mA on address and data pins from –1V to V
CC
+1V.
(4) This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.
(5) Absolute linearity is utilitzed to determine actual wiper voltage versus expected voltage as determined by wiper position when used as a potentiometer.
(6) Relative linearity is utilized to determine the actual change in voltage between two successive tap positions when used as a
potentiometer. It is a measure of the error in step size.
