DESCRIPTION
The
CAT5126
is
a
digital
programmable
potentiometer. The wiper position is controlled with a
simple 2-wire digital interface. This digital
potentiometer is unique in that it has an optional one-
time programmable feature that either sets the wiper’s
position upon power-on to a user-defined value, or the
wiper can be set and the interface also disabled to
prevent further adjustment.
The CAT5126 has an end-to-end resistance of 10kΩ,
50kΩ, and 100kΩ. All CAT5126 devices have
32-wiper positions and operate from a single 2.5V to
5.5V supply.
The CAT5126 is available in TDFN 8-pad and MSOP
8-lead packages. Each device is guaranteed over the
industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
For Ordering Information details, see page 10.

¯¯¯
¯
Chip-Select Input. A high-to-low CS transition determines the mode: increment if U/D is high, or
¯
¯¯¯
decrement if U/D is low. CS is also used for one-time programming (see the One-Time
Programming section).
Power-Supply Voltage
Ground
Programming Voltage for One-Time Programming. Connect V
PP
to 10V supply when one-time
programming the device. For normal operation, connect to ground or let float.
¯¯¯
Up/Down Control Input. With CS low, a low-to-high transition increments or decrements the
wiper position.

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.
