DESCRIPTION
The CAT525 is a quad 8-bit digitally programmable
potentiometer (DPP™) configured for programmable
voltage and DAC-like applications. Intended for final
calibration of products such as camcorders, fax
machines and cellular telephones on automated high
volume production lines and systems capable of self
calibration, it is also well suited for applications were
equipment requiring periodic adjustment is either difficult
to access or located in a hazardous environment.
The CAT525 offers four independently programmable
DPPs each having its own reference inputs and each
capable of rail to rail output swing. The wipers are
buffered by rail to rail op amps. Wiper settings, stored
in non-volatile NVRAM memory, are not lost when the
device is powered down and are automatically
reinstated when power is returned. Each wiper can be
dithered to test new output values without effecting
the stored settings and stored settings can be read
back without disturbing the DPP’s output.
Control of the CAT525 is accomplished with a simple
3wire, Microwire-like serial interface. A Chip Select pin
allows several CAT525's to share a common serial
interface and communications back to the host
controller is via a single serial data line thanks to the
¯¯¯¯
CAT525’s Tri-Stated Data Output pin. A RDY/BSY
output working in concert with an internal low voltage
detector signals proper operation of non-volatile
NVRAM Memory Erase/ Write cycle.
The CAT525 is available in the 0°C to 70°C com–
mercial and -40°C to 85°C industrial operating
temperature ranges and offered in 20-pin plastic DIP
and surface mount packages.
APPLICATIONS
Automated product calibration
Remote control adjustment of equipment
Offset, gain and zero adjustments in self-
calibrating and adaptive control systems
Tamper-proof calibrations
DAC (with memory) substitute

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) This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.
(3) Latch-up protection is provided for stresses up to 100mA on address and data pins from –1V to V
CC
+ 1V.
