DESCRIPTION
The CAT5115 is a single digitally programmable
potentiometer (DPP™) designed as a 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 CAT5115 contains a 32-tap series resistor array
connected between two terminals R
H
and R
L
. An
up/down counter and decoder that are controlled by
three input pins, determines which tap is connected to
the wiper, R
W
. The wiper is always set to the mid
point, tap 15 at power up. The tap position is not
stored in memory. Wiper-control of the CAT5115 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.
The digitally programmable potentiometer can be used
as a three-terminal resistive divider or as a two-terminal
variable resistor. DPPs bring variability and program-
mability to a wide variety of applications including
control, parameter adjustments, and signal processing.
For a pin-compatible device that recalls a stored tap
position on power-up refer to the CAT5114 data sheet.
APPLICATIONS
Automated product calibration
Remote control adjustments
Offset, gain and zero control
Tamper-proof calibrations
Contrast, brightness and volume controls
Motor controls and feedback systems
Programmable analog functions

PIN FUNCTION
¯¯¯
INC:
Increment Control Input
¯¯¯
The INC input moves the wiper in the up or down
¯
direction determined by the condition of the U/D input.
¯
U/D:
Up/Down Control Input
¯
The U/D input controls the direction of the wiper
¯¯
movement. When in a high state and CS is low, any
¯¯¯
high-to-low transition on INC will cause the wiper to
move one increment toward the R
H
terminal. When in
¯¯
a low state and CS is low, any high-to-low transition
¯¯¯
on INC will cause the wiper to move one increment
towards the R
L
terminal.
R
H
:
High End Potentiometer Terminal
R
H
is the high end terminal of the potentiometer. It is
not required that this terminal be connected to a
potential greater than the R
L
terminal. Voltage applied
to the R
H
terminal cannot exceed the supply voltage,
V
CC
or go below ground, GND.
R
W
:
Wiper Potentiometer Terminal
R
W
is the wiper terminal of the potentiometer. Its
position on the resistor array is controlled by the
¯¯¯
¯
¯¯
control inputs, INC, U/D and CS.
Voltage applied to
the R
W
terminal cannot exceed the supply voltage,
V
CC
or go below ground, GND.
R
L
:
Low End Potentiometer Terminal
R
L
is the low end terminal of the potentiometer. It is
not required that this terminal be connected to a
potential less than the R
H
terminal. Voltage applied to
the R
L
terminal cannot exceed the supply voltage, V
CC
or go below ground, GND. R
L
and R
H
are electrically
interchangeable.
¯¯
CS:
Chip Select
The chip select input is used to activate the control
input of the CAT5115 and is active low. When in a
¯¯¯
¯
high state, activity on the INC and U/D inputs will not
affect or change the position of the wiper.
DEVICE OPERATION
The CAT5115 operates like a digitally controlled
potentiometer with R
H
and R
L
equivalent to the high
and low terminals and R
W
equivalent to the
mechanical potentiometer's wiper. There are 32
available tap positions including the resistor end
points, R
H
and R
L
. There are 31 resistor elements
connected in series between the R
H
and R
L
terminals.
The wiper terminal is connected to one of the 32 taps
¯¯¯
¯
¯¯
and controlled by three inputs, INC, U/D and CS.
These inputs control a five-bit up/down counter whose
output is decoded to select the wiper position.
¯¯
With CS set LOW the CAT5115 is selected and will
¯
¯¯¯
respond to the U/D and INC inputs. HIGH to LOW
¯¯¯
transitions on INC will increment or decrement the
¯
wiper (depending on the state of the U/D input and
five-bit counter). The wiper, when at either fixed
terminal, acts like its mechanical equivalent and does
not move beyond the last position. When the
CAT5115 is powered-down, the wiper position is
reset. When power is restored, the counter is set to
the mid point, tap 15.
