CAT5127_13 Datasheet, PDF (1/10 Pages) ON Semiconductor – 32‐tap Digital Potentiometers (POTs)
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 RH and RL. The CAT5129 contains a 32-tap
series resistor array connected between two terminals RH 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.
