CAT5116
Log‐taper, 100‐tap
Digital Potentiometer (POT)
Description
The CAT5116 is a log-taper single digital POT designed as an
electronic replacement for mechanical potentiometers.
Ideal for automated adjustments on high volume production lines,
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 RH and RL. An up/down counter and decoder
that are controlled by three input pins, determines which tap is
connected to the wiper, RW.
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 digital POT can be used as a three-terminal resistive divider or
as a two-terminal variable resistor.
