DESCRIPTION
The CAT5116 is a log-taper single digitally
programmable potentiometer (DPP™) designed as a
electronic replacement for mechanical potentiometers
and trim pots.
Ideal for automated adjustments on high volume
production lines, DPP ICs are well suited for
applications where equipment requiring periodic
adjustment is either difficult to access or located in a
hazardous or remote environment.
The CAT5116 contains a 100-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 setting, stored in nonvolatile memory, is not
lost when the device is powered down and is
automatically reinstated when power is returned. The
wiper can be adjusted to test new system values without
effecting the stored setting.
Wiper-control of the CAT5116 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 three-terminal resistive divider or as a
two-terminal variable resistor.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
INC:
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
D
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
W
: Wiper Potentiometer Terminal
R
W
is the wiper terminal of the potentiometer. Its position
on the resistor array is controlled by the control inputs,
INC,
U/D and
CS.
Voltage applied to the R
W
terminal cannot
exceed the supply voltage, V
CC
or go below ground, GND.
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 CAT5116 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.

*Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Absolute Maximum
Ratings are limited values applied individually while other param-
eters are within specified operating conditions, and functional
operation at any of these conditions is NOT implied. Device
performance and reliability may be impaired by exposure to
absolute rating conditions for extended periods of time.
