CAT5261/D
CAT5261
Dual Digitally Program-
mable Potentiometers (DPP)
with 256 Taps and SPI
Interface
Description
The CAT5261 is two Digitally Programmable Potentiometers
(DPPs) integrated with control logic and 8 bytes of NVRAM memory.
Each DPP consists of a series of resistive elements connected between
two externally accessible end points. The tap points between each
resistive element are connected to the wiper outputs with CMOS
switches. A separate 8−bit control register (WCR) independently
controls the wiper tap switches for each DPP. Associated with each
wiper control register are four 8−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 registers is via a
SPI serial bus. On power−up, the contents of the first data register
(DR0) for each of the potentiometers is automatically loaded into its
respective wiper control register.
The CAT5261 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. It is available in the
−40°C to 85°C industrial operating temperature range and offered in a
24−lead SOIC and TSSOP package.
