CAT5409

WIPER CONTROL AND DATA REGISTERS

Wiper Control Register (WCR)

The CAT5409 contains four 6-bit Wiper Control Registers,

one for each potentiometer. The Wiper Control Register

output is decoded to select one of 64 switches along its

resistor array. The contents of the WCR can be altered

in four ways: it may be written by the host via Write Wiper

Control Register instruction; it may be written by

transferring the contents of one of four associated Data

Registers via the XFR Data Register instruction, it can be

modified one step at a time by the Increment/decrement

instruction (see Instruction section for more details).

Finally, it is loaded with the content of its data register

zero (DR0) upon power-up.

The Wiper Control Register is a volatile register that

loses its contents when the CAT5409 is powered-down.

Although the register is automatically loaded with the

value in DR0 upon power-up, this may be different from

the value present at power-down.

Data Registers (DR)

Each potentiometer has four 6-bit non-volatile Data

Registers. These can be read or written directly by the

host. Data can also be transferred between any of the

Table 3. Instruction Set

four Data Registers and the associated Wiper Control

is a non-volatile operation and will take a maximum of

5ms.

If the application does not require storage of multiple

settings for the potentiometer, the Data Registers can be

used as standard memory locations for system

parameters or user preference data.

INSTRUCTIONS

Four of the nine instructions are three bytes in length.

These instructions are:

â Read Wiper Control Register - read the current

wiper position of the selected potentiometer in the WCR

â Write Wiper Control Register - change current

wiper position in the WCR of the selected potentiometer

â Read Data Register - read the contents of the

selected Data Register

â Write Data Register - write a new value to the

selected Data Register

The basic sequence of the three byte instructions is

illustrated in Figure 8. These three-byte instructions
