SI is the serial data input pin. This pin is used to input
all opcodes, byte addresses and data to be written to
the CAT5401. Input data is latched on the rising edge
of the serial clock.
SO:
Serial Output
SO is the serial data output pin. This pin is used to
transfer data out of the CAT5401. During a read
cycle, data is shifted out on the falling edge of the
serial clock.
SCK:
Serial Clock
SCK is the serial clock pin. This pin is used to
synchronize the communication between the
microcontroller and the CAT5401. Opcodes, byte
addresses or data present on the SI pin are latched
on the rising edge of the SCK. Data on the SO pin is
updated on the falling edge of the SCK.
A0, A1: Device Address Inputs
These inputs set the device address when address-
ing multiple devices. A total of four 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 CAT5401.

The four sets of R
H
and R

pins are equivalent to the
terminal connections on a mechanical potentiometer.
R
W
:
Wiper
The four R
W
pins are equivalent to the wiper terminal
of a mechanical potentiometer.
CS:
Chip Select
CS
CS
is the Chip select pin.
CS
low enables the
CAT5401 and
CS
high disables the CAT5401.
CS
high
takes the SO output pin to high impedance and forces
the devices into a Standby mode (unless an internal
write operation is underway). The CAT5401 draws
ZERO current in the Standby mode. A high to low
transition on
CS
is required prior to any sequence
being initiated. A low to high transition on
CS
after a
valid write sequence is what initiates an internal write
cycle.
WP:
Write Protect
WP
WP
is the Write Protect pin. The Write Protect pin will allow normal read/write operations when held high. When
WP
is tied low, all
non-volatile write operations to the Data registers are inhibited (change of wiper control register is allowed).
WP
going low while
CS is still low will interrupt a write to the registers. If the internal write cycle has already been initiated,
WP
going low will have no
effect on any write operation.
HOLD:
HOLD
Hold
The
HOLD
pin is used to pause transmission to the CAT5401 while in the middle of a serial sequence without having to re-
transmit entire sequence at a later time. To pause,
HOLD
must be brought low while SCK is low. The SO pin is in a high imped-
ance state during the time the part is paused, and transitions on the SI pins will be ignored. To resume communication,
HOLD
is
brought high, while SCK is low. (HOLD should be held high any time this function is not being used.)
HOLD
may be tied high
directly to VCC or tied to VCC through a resistor.

CAT5401
SERIAL BUS PROTOCOL
The CAT5041 supports the SPI bus data transmission
protocol. The synchronous Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI) helps the CAT5401 to interface directly with many
of today's popular microcontrollers. The CAT5041
contains an 8-bit instruction register .The instruction set
and the operation codes are detailed in the instruction
set table 3.
After the device is selected with
CS
going low the first
byte will be received. The part is accessed via the SI pin,
with data being clocked in on the rising edge of SCK. The
first byte contains one of the six op-codes that define the
operation to be performed.
DEVICE OPERATION
The CAT5401 is four resistor arrays integrated with SPI
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 SPI 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.

Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent

Notes:
(1) This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.
(2) Absolute linearity is utilitzed to determine actual wiper voltage versus expected voltage as determined by wiper position when used as a potentiometer.
(3) 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.
