CAT5419
DEVICE OPERATION
The CAT5419 is two resistor arrays integrated with 2wire
serial interface logic, four 6-bit wiper control registers and
sixteen 6-bit, non-volatile memory data registers. Each
resistor array contains 63 separate resistive elements
connected in series. The physical ends of each array are
equivalent to the fixed terminals of a mechanical
potentiometer (R_H and R_L). R_H and R_L are symmetrical and
may be interchanged. The tap positions between and at the
ends of the series resistors are connected to the output wiper
terminals (R_W) by a CMOS transistor switch. Only one tap
point for each potentiometer is connected to its wiper
terminal at a time and is determined by the value of the wiper
control register. Data can be read or written to the wiper
control registers or the non-volatile memory data registers
via the 2-wire bus. Additional instructions allow data to be
transferred between the wiper control registers and each
respective potentiometer’s non-volatile data registers. Also,
the device can be instructed to operate in an
“increment/decrement” mode.

Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the
Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the Recommended Operating Conditions may affect
device reliability.
1. The minimum DC input voltage is −0.5 V. During transitions, inputs may undershoot to –2.0 V for periods of less than 20 ns. Maximum DC
voltage on output pins is V_CC + 0.5 V, which may overshoot to V_CC + 2.0 V for periods of less than 20 ns.
2. Latch-up protection is provided for stresses up to 100 mA on address and data pins from –1 V to V_CC + 1 V.
