CAT5127, CAT5129
32‐tap Digital
Potentiometers (POTs)
Description
The CAT5127/CAT5129 are single digital POTs designed as an
electronic replacement for mechanical potentiometers and trim pots.
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 CAT5127 contains a 32-tap series resistor array connected
between two terminals R
H
and R
L
. The CAT5129 contains a 32-tap
series resistor array connected between two terminals R
H
and GND.
An up/down counter and decoder that are controlled by three input
pins, determines which tap is connected to the wiper. 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 CAT5127/CAT5129 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 devices are used as two-terminal variable resistors. Digital
POTs bring variability and programmability to a wide variety of
applications including control, parameter adjustments, and signal
processing.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
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
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
L
:
Low End Potentiometer Terminal (CAT5127 only)
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 device 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. CAT5127 has an internal pull-up
resistor on the CS input pin.

DEVICE OPERATION
The CAT5127 operates like a digitally controlled variable
resistor with R
H
and R
L
equivalent to the high and low
terminals. 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 CAT5129 operates like a digitally controlled variable
resistor with R
H
equivalent to the high terminal. There are 32
available tap positions including the resistor end points, R
H
and GND. There are 31 resistor elements connected in series
between the R
H
and GND terminals.
Operation is 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 device is selected and will respond
to the U/D and INC inputs. HIGH to LOW transitions on
INC will increment or decrement the wiper (depending on
the state of the U/D input and five-bit counter). The wiper,
when at either end 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 device 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 device may be de-selected 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 nonvolatile memory.
