CAT5409
INSTRUCTION AND REGISTER
DESCRIPTION
SLAVE ADDRESS BYTE
The first byte sent to the CAT5409 from the master/
processor is called the Slave/DPP Address Byte. The
most significant four bits of the Device Type address
are a device type identifier. These bits for the
CAT5409 are fixed at 0101[B] (refer to Table 1).
The next four bits, A3 - A0, are the internal slave
address and must match the physical device address
which is defined by the state of the A3 - A0 input pins
for the CAT5409 to successfully continue the
command sequence. Only the device which slave
address matches the incoming device address sent by
the master executes the instruction. The A3 - A0
inputs can be actively driven by CMOS input signals
or tied to V_CC or V_SS.
INSTRUCTION BYTE
The next byte sent to the CAT5409 contains the
instruction and register pointer information. The four
most significant bits used provide the instruction
opcode I [3:0]. The R1 and R0 bits point to one of the
four data registers of each associated potentiometer.
The least two significant bits point to one of four Wiper
Control Registers. The format is shown in Table 2.
