DESCRIPTION
The CAT5221 is two Digitally Programmable
Potentiometers (DPPs™) integrated with control logic
and 16 bytes of NVRAM memory. Each DPP consists of
a series of 63 resistive elements connected between two
externally accessible end points. The tap points between
each resistive element are connected to the wiper outputs
with CMOS switches. A separate 6-bit control register
(WCR) independently controls the wiper tap switches for
each DPP. Associated with each wiper control register
are four 6-bit non-volatile memory data registers (DR)
used for storing up to four wiper settings. Writing to the
wiper control register or any of the non-volatile data
registers is via a 2-wire serial bus (I
2
C-like). On power-
up, the contents of the first data register (DR0) for each
of the four potentiometers is automatically loaded into its
respective wiper control register (WCR).
The CAT5221 can be used as a potentiometer or as a
two terminal, variable resistor. It is intended for circuit
level or system level adjustments in a wide variety of
applications. It is available in the 0°C to 70°C commercial
and -40°C to 85°C industrial operating temperature
ranges and offered in a 20-lead SOIC package.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SCL:
Serial Clock
The CAT5221 serial clock input pin is used to clock
all data transfers into or out of the device.
SDA:
Serial Data
The CAT5221 bidirectional serial data pin is used
to transfer data into and out of the device. The
SDA pin is an open drain output and can be wire-
Ored with the other open drain or open collector
outputs.
A0, A1, A2, A3:
Device Address Inputs
These inputs set the device address when ad-
dressing multiple devices. When these pins are left
floating the default values are zero. A total of
sixteen devices can be addressed on a single bus.
A match in the slave
address must be made with the address input in
order to initiate communication with the CAT5221.

DEVICE OPERATION
The CAT5221 is two resistor arrays integrated with 2-
wire serial interface logic, two 6-bit wiper control registers
and eight 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 allows 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.

(3) Absolute linearity is utilitzed to determine actual wiper voltage versus expected voltage as determined by wiper position when used
as a potentiometer.
(4) Relative linearity is utilized to determine the actual change in voltage between two successive tap positions when used as a
potentiometer. It is a measure of the error in step size.
